Boy am I ever doing great so far this year..... Another day of .... HOK ..... !!!!! I think we are going food shopping today which means I will pick-up something for supper...... or.... we might grab supper out...
We did NOT go food shopping today... Please don't ask why.... The ... HOK ... turned out being B/S chicken thighs breaded and pan fried in EVOO... A salad that I made and my dressing.. Stewed peaches with heavy cream.. Pot of tea...
today for breakfast I will be trying something different................. pancakes.... BUT... made without flour... Mash 2 bananas, add 2 eggs, mix well, add mixture to pan with EVOO, ....... cook like usual pancakes.... I will serve with S/F syrup...... I have NO idea if it will turn out good or not, but I will give it a try....
Another interesting breakfast that I have been wanting to try is “chaffles “. They are made by beating up eggs and shredded cheese and then cooking them in a waffle cooker. Some of the recipes that I have seen also say to make it with almond flour and eggs. I think that either way would be good, and I have been making the almond flour flatbread that I cook in a pan, and I like that. It is just almond flour, psyllium , baking powder, egg, and oil, and I also add a bit of flax and chia seeds. The exact recipe is on you tube. I will see if I can find it and post it here for all of us Low-carbers. Edit to add: Okay, I found the recipe for the almond flour bread . This is really versatile, and once you make up the mix, it is quick to make yourself some low-carb bread. The video suggests cooking it in the microwave, and I have done that; but I really like to cook it on the stove in a skillet and make a flatbread out of it that can be used for easy tacos or whatever. The recipe does not call for chia seeds, but I get both chia and almond from Amazon, and grind them fresh in the blender when I make this bread. If you can’t find almond flour or psyllium at your local grocery, everything here can be ordered from Amazon.
Thanks Yvonne for the great idea... Looks good .... I didn't make those banana pancakes as I said I would.. maybe tomorrow (Sunday).... I ended up making us each a bowl of cooked porridge.. I made for supper some of my chicken burgers frozen and on the BBQ... A Caesar salad to go with it...
Breakfast this morning was a total disaster.. I tried to make those pancakes using only bananas and eggs as the recipe said... Well if you like a banana omelette, it is just the thing.. It came out like something else I have never seen.. We ate it by putting on some S/F syrup, but I will NEVER try that again...... No thanks !!! My pancakes I make are low carb, and are simply delicious.. I use wheat gluten flour to make them.. I could add a mashed banana but they are still pancakes and not an omelette... I add some cinnamon, just a pinch of nutmeg, and some sweetener.. Vanilla extract also sometimes..
After that disaster of a breakfast, I thought I would make a decent supper... Meatloaf made with minced chicken... coleslaw Stewed peaches Pot of tea....
Tonight will be fish... Frozen fillets of whatever it is.. Dead fish of course.. A salad with my dressing.. A dessert of some kind.. Pot of tea...
Tonight was....... well,..... I took out of the freezer a package of chicken drums to thaw and put them on the BBQ... Don't ask but when they were thawed, I noticed they were chicken thighs and not drums... Oh well, I took off the skin and cut away as much of the fat as I could, dry marinated them and I put them on the BBQ.. They came out very good.. Steamed broccoli.. Frozen blueberries with cream.. Pot of tea...
We were in Sudbury for 2 days and just before I left Sudbury, I went to Wallmart to buy a BBQ chicken.. Last night (Thursday) we had half the chicken.. Another meal remains but I don't think we will have it tonight because I don't like serving the same thing 2 days in a row.. Tomorrow (Saturday) will be the other half of the BBQ chicken.. Last night I made a coleslaw to go with the chicken.. Next time it will be a salad... Now, for tonight I think fish would be a good idea.. I have all kinds of frozen fish but we seem to like salmon fillets the best.. Salmon fillets lightly breaded and pan fried.. Steamed cauliflower.. Pudding that I will spike and serve with heavy cream.. Pot of tea......... after a meal, a pot of tea goes well..
Supper tonight.... I made my homemade pasta sauce using minced chicken.. I froze the balance of the sauce for another time.. A spaghetti squash was the pasta.... Dessert was frozen blueberries with cream.. Pot of tea....
Here we go again............... supper tonight will be ............... HOK ....... again... I know it will NOT be a BBQ as it is very stormy and very windy out today...
