We had French Onion soup again on Saturday.
We had onion soup from the freezer.
There are frost warnings out for parts of SE Nebraska tonight and the low on Sunday is currently forecast to be 29. BRRRRR! And just a few days ago it was in the high 80's here.
We had deviled eggs and tuna salad on a bed of lettuce.
We had left over coq au vin for supper, but what I really wanted was a big hunk of bread to soak up the sauce!
Last night I made two batches of coq au vin, same recipe (Child's) but with two different wines, to take to the wines class at UNL today.
We had mozzarella cheese crust pizzas again, our pizza urgings are being sated.
I don't think I've ever seen the equivalent of the 6 week bran muffin recipe for banana muffins.
(These days most experts recommend against the 6 week bran muffin recipe because it can grow bacteria in the refrigerator.)
That having been said, I think the biggest challenge would be the bananas, I think they would start to turn a bit funky. It might be possible to mix up everything except the bananas and just add them in when you want to make a batch of banana muffins. The nuts might soften up over time, too.
Banana muffins freeze very well, before I went on the keto diet I was making as many as 120 mini-muffins at a time and freezing them in small bags of 2 or 3. My wife would grab a bag out of the freezer, stick it in her lunch bag and have them during the day. (They're pretty good if they're still a bit frozen, too.)
I haven't found a good recipe for keto banana muffins, bananas are not a low-carb food. I did find one that used banana extract, but we didn't like them. I might try it again some time using less of the extract, so that it has just a hint of banana flavor, not BANANA!!! (Putting in only a small amount of banana might work, too.)
I've been playing around with recipes for keto-friendly blueberry muffins. (3 or 4 blueberries in a mini-muffin only add about 5 carbs.) They seem to freeze well, too.
We had tacos.
We had mozzarella crust pizzas again tonight, this time with some red bell pepper slices on them. We've been going through pizza withdrawal on the keto diet, these hit the spot.
We had the mozzarella crust pizzas again, with mushroom and pepperoni but no tomato slices, they get too sloppy. I bought some 6" silicone cake pans to make them in, a lot easier getting them out of the pan and cleaning up! I probably need to set them on a paper towel to drain off the grease, though.
I had a small salad to go with it, under 20 carbs for the whole meal and very satisfying.
I keep tomato paste in a tube on hand in the fridge for dishes that need some tomato flavoring but not a big can of it. Sometime even just a tablespoon or two of ketchup is enough.
My wife always called dishes like your a concoction. These days I think of them as a "Chopped" special. 🙂
We had more of the beef stroganoff on cauliflower rice, and a small bowl of 4 bean salad (not low-carb but OK as an occasional side dish).
I've always thought Thin Mints are mis-labeled as to the size in a serving. Isn't it one stack?
We had beef stroganoff on cauliflower rice, tasty and 10 carbs/serving.
I had a sandwich made with keto bread, salami, cheese and turkey, Diane had eggs and bacon.
