I tried another formula for texas chocolate sheet cake, and it had issues. The cake rose too much, then collapsed in the center. The frosting is too liquid, probably too much buttermilk.
I stuck it in the fridge overnight, we'll see if it is even edible tomorrow.
I'm making a batch of keto hot dog buns tonight (under 8 carbs each) using vital wheat gluten, oat fiber and whey protein isolate. I left out the flaxseed flour, which did poorly in my flours test a few weeks ago.
Diane had beany weenie and I had a salad with the last of the sirloin steak.
I think my first reaction to this recipe was similar to my first reaction to the mayonnaise cake recipe, it doesn't make sense until you think about the ingredients.
Bisquick is flour, corn starch, baking powder, dextrose, vegetable oil, sugar, salt and monyglycerides. Except for the monoglycerides they're all things that a cookie recipe might use anyway.
Somehow I always thought of Bisquick as a buttermilk mix, but according to the label there's no buttermilk in it.
I spent several months a couple of years ago working on perfecting my biscuit-making skills before my wife finally admitted she preferred Bisquick. But we haven't made it much since going on the keto diet, so at some point I'm going to try the keto biscuit mix I referenced in a recent thread, but summertime isn't exactly biscuit weather.
Carrot cakes are pretty forgiving in terms of ingredients.
Looks good, though.
Salads with left over sirloin steak and tomato.
I wonder what the yield is supposed to be? It said 5 servings but it also said to make 1 inch balls, which would be at least 30 cookies.
We got one black raspberry today, but the big patch on the east side got ripped out last fall and it will a year or two before it rebounds (if it does at all), so I'm guessing a handful a day might be the peak this year.
Sirloin steak with sauteed mushrooms and steamed broccoli
We had leftover rotisserie chicken and salads.
We had tuna salad on lettuce tonight. I gave my wife a choice of that or a beef stir fry, she chose the tuna salad because it's "summertime" food.
I've seen squirrels carrying off tomatoes that were in the 4 ounce range, nearly the size of a tennis ball, but they prefer the smaller ones. Mostly the critters just seem to take a few bites out of one on the vine, or maybe it is birds pecking at them. I might move the critter cam in August to see who's going after the tomatoes.
There are quite a few people on the reddit r/keto channel who have been on a keto diet for 10 years or longer, many of them on a much stricter keto diet than we are following.
Once we reach our goal weights (at least another 20 pounds for me), we may relax it further, although many people report that after following a keto diet for a long time, their body doesn't react well when going back to a SAD diet.
Currently I'm aiming for 40-50 carbs a day and 1000-1200 calories, my 7 day average is 912 calories and 41 carbs, with 59% of calories from fat, 24% from protein, and 18% from carbs. (Doesn't add up to 100 due to rounding issues, I assume.) I'm using Nutritionix for tracking, and working on a full review of it.
Cayenne pepper is said to discourage chipmunks, as are daffodils. You might try the cayenne pepper now and think about planting an outside border of daffodils next season. Daffodils are also supposed to discourage deer because of the lycorine in them.
We had a problem with raccoons (probably) pooping in a corner of the deck, but I started sprinkling ground black pepper in that area every few days and they moved to pooping somewhere else. Not sure where, but at least it wasn't on the deck or patio.
We had mozzarella crust pizzas for supper, plus a blueberry muffin. (The recipe still needs tweaking, but it is getting better, this one was a little stiff and needed more buttermilk, and possibly more butter/allolose.)
