I finally got all the kinks out and I am now part of this wonderful community. Thank you Chris for all your help! I live in Fresno, Ca where it is still 100° 🥵 I am mostly strict carnivore with a couple ups and downs since 2023. There is something real and down to earth about Laura and Chris that I want in my life and that I want to follow 😍thank you both for all you do!
I don't typically love cooking with cast iron, despite the excellent results they can bring. It's messy and smells up the house. Add to that, the one we have is super old and not very good. We were recently gifted a really good one from Lancaster Cast Iron so today I decided to give it a try. We have a side burner on our Weber so I could do it outside. I sous vide a steak, then seared it in tallow on the new pan. Man it was incredible. What a difference it made from our old one. Super easy clean up too. Below is the pan, of course I forgot to take a picture of the steak haha.
Do you love using cast iron? What are some favorites you make in them?
Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
We grabbed this copycat chipotle chicken from Costco the other day. It's very good and so easy to prepare. I use it as a side when I don't have one, or even make up a couple cheese shells and eat it that way. It has 3 carbs per serving and the ingredients aren't that great, but in life these days, you do what works and your body can work with. Pre cooked meats can be so convenient eating this way. I know some folks have to be more strict, but if it fits your goals and you can tolerate it, give it a try.
Are there any pre cooked meats you go to? Have you tried this chicken?
Good Evening Y'all!! I made through day 14 of no dairy and no eggs. I'm working out at the gym 5-6 days a week on treadmill and elliptical. Plus I do the leg machines and one core machine. 3 days a week I have physical therapy on my left side especially my arm. I'm feeling great. I know that if I was eating dairy or SAD I wouldn't be able to stand the physical therapy. Here's my stats for today. I drank 80 ounces of water. I happy with this. Tomorrow night I'm gonna try some beef short ribs. Does anyone have any tips on cooking them @Lauraespath @ChrisSpath? BLESSINGS!!
