Laurie, I don't have a recipe, but I worked with a guy whose wife made stuffed zucchini boats. You just slice the long way, remove some meat and stuff each half. It solves the running out problem.
Also have seen them sandwiched when cut the long way. That works well with the small ones. Toothpicks hold them together while cooking. Can stuff with nearly anything.

One of my Sparkfriends (CTYONIT) is keto-ing and tries a lot of recipes. She recently tried a lot of keto soft tortilla recipes to find one she likes, eliminating recipes with obscure ingredients or ending up with tortillas with the wrong texture. I thought I'd copy her hints and the recipe:

"Keto Connect is one of my favorite sites and they did not disappoint.
I have made them several times—first round following the recipe completely. Round two I switched up the seasoning for a garlic/rosemary deliciousness. Round three (today) Italian seasonings. Up and coming rye, then onto dill. Then I think I’ll branch out to cinnamon or chocolate???

Like most things there is a learning curve—but it is not much of a curve.
Just make sure:
it is a true nonstick pan
re-spray cooking oil in between tortillas.
Let it get almost dry on top and the edges begin to curl before turning.
No need to re- spray oil when flipping.
Cool them on a rack.

For my small skillet I used less than 1/4 cup per tortilla. I dry/heat them on an open flame before serving. They make great quesadillas.
Today‘s Italian seasonings ones were filled with dinner leftovers Chicken Pesto Alfredo. Delightful. "

3 tsp worstachire
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning (i’ll Use a bit more next time)
1 egg
1/4 c. Mayonnaise

Gently Fold in:
1/2 c. Pork rind dust (I’ll use a bit more next time)
1 lb. crab

Makes 8 - 2.8 oz cakes

Form and refrigerate 4 to 5 hours

Pan fry in medium to medium high heat in 1/2 olive oil 1/2 butter blend.

Dipping sauce:

Equal amounts of cocktail and tarter sauce

[CTslotters]

I'm totally trying this pork rind "breading" on something soon! My parents wrap everything in bacon (onions on the grill, mushrooms on the grill, kielbasa on the grill, cornish game hens, lol!) so I grew up a big fan of pork products. And oddly enough, a pseudo keto/atkins diet eater anyways given I was fed meat with a side of meat growing up.
nhcris, my dad has always wrapped his turkey meatloafs in bacon, it's SO GOOD! He tries to limit red meat.

I've been easing into this since Friday. I haven't done any calculations to see what my daily net carbs should be but have been very conscious of what I pick up in the store and reading labels now. For lunch this week I've prepared steak salad fixings for each day. Won't get tired of it as I love steak salads. Using Good Seasons (make it yourself) dressing, only 1 gram of carbs a serving. I plan to make mini quiche in my muffin pan for breakfasts each day this week. Had a roast and cauliflower mashed potatoes yesterday and I didn't go hungry. The mashed cauli was frozen and it was really, really runny! I have a recipe for homemade so will try that next and hope I get a thicker consistency. Biggest sacrifice will be my sweets because I have a huge sweet tooth but I'm going to give this a good try!

We are busy working on the den, so it's hot dogs for us with a salad. Hoping to talk him into some Keto Takeout for dinner!


Don’t like pickles? Oh my...you are missing out on yum!

[Nhcris]

Not a very pretty presentation, but I made shrimp arrabiatta on Zoodles for me and I made Frank meatballs since he's not into seafood. I stole one meatball haha.

This looks delicious, I love avocados but as I am getting older I can’t stomach chewing steak anymore, it’s so weird because I used to love it. But your steak looks delicious!

I only do filet mignon now that I am old (and spoiled). I also can only eat small portions of it as steak is tough on my tummy. But I need the iron since I can't take iron supplements and there is only so much spinach I can stand!

Don’t like pickles!?!? How is that possible nhcris!!?
FYI, rice wine vinegar definitely has sugars, most of what is commonly found in stores is “seasoned rice wine vinegar” which is essentially sweetened. I love it for quick pickles!
I made stuffed zucchini boats last night, we dug right in and forgot to take a picture until I was packing leftovers, lol! They were amazing!

They are! I’ll take pictures tomorrow, everything is soaked from the crazy storms that went through today. Was able to take pics of one of the gardens from the deck, it’s not squash, it’s gold zucchini! And corn, our first time growing it, we’ll see how it goes.

Thanks dvandentop, it’s all Adam! The garden plants are his babies! zeus, the corn is “sweet corn: farmers first hybrid” from Burpee seeds.
Since it’s our first time trying corn, we didn’t go fancy (and yes, love Silver Queen; there is a farm near us that sells it late summer that we always get some from).

Indeed, it is a small world. We used to buy Silver Queen on the mesa in Colorado. One summer we bought and delivered a burlap sack full to my wife's grandparents in Lufkin, TX. They deemed it the best
they ever et and renamed it Silver King. From that day forward we discussed Silver King and good it was. Sweet memories.

I don’t like zucchini B so I don’t make it but that’s what Adam’s mom does with zucchini we bring her, she freezes the loaves and has them through the winter.
I have ricotta and sausage so I might try to make a zucchini lasagna like the eggplant one above to use some up.

Our local grocery store HEB also has really great flavored sparkling water. It’s sugar free but pretty sweet. The lime and lemon are great for mixing.

Back from a shaky week in Vegas (I wasn't terrible, but I sure wasn't as good as I planned), it was time to get back on track. But, Mitch was here when I got home, and his girlfriend came in the next night. My house has been full of young people coming and going! The good news is, they eat healthy even if they don't drink healthy haha!

Last night my son had a few friends over for dinner and they did all the cooking.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180728/d8576754f8398c7505af74313274b0c0.jpg

There was borscht, a beautiful salad dressed with avocado & lime, roasted brussel sprouts, sautéed kale, yellow beans & asparagus, a tray of roasted vegetables with different flavor profiles (or so I was told :chuncky:) and free range sustainable pork shoulder and some spicy sausage. The pork & sausage came from his girlfriend's ranch.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat's what I thought I might have to look for. Or just use the sugar free creamers which probably don't have as much fat as the whipping cream. Thanks!

Laurie, in the language of journalism, that's called "burying the lead." You are looking fantastic, and as with all keto-ers on this board, there is a vibrance and energy that comes through in your photos.

(I have been plateauing for so long that I may as well call it maintenance, but this thread keeps me motivated enough to keep working on it.)

I have not been losing much either but I think it's the 12 or so beers a night. hhh

OMGosh Laurie that's fabulous!!!! Way to go!

I just ordered some of the MCT oil you use from Amazon. I know that fat makes you full and I know I need more fat and less protein in my diet. I lost weight initially but have plateaued like Serena and I want to lose more weight. I drink iced coffee in the morning, wonder if that'll work in it?

Thanks! I said if I just maintained during camping season then I would be happy and I have done that and still losing but slower.
I'm sure it will work in iced. I've seen people use one of those little handheld blenders to mix it in but I just stir it in my hot coffee.

Back from a shaky week in Vegas (I wasn't terrible, but I sure wasn't as good as I planned), it was time to get back on track. But, Mitch was here when I got home, and his girlfriend came in the next night. My house has been full of young people coming and going! The good news is, they eat healthy even if they don't drink healthy haha!

Last night my son had a few friends over for dinner and they did all the cooking.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180728/d8576754f8398c7505af74313274b0c0.jpg

There was borscht, a beautiful salad dressed with avocado & lime, roasted brussel sprouts, sautéed kale, yellow beans & asparagus, a tray of roasted vegetables with different flavor profiles (or so I was told :chuncky:) and free range sustainable pork shoulder and some spicy sausage. The pork & sausage came from his girlfriend's ranch.

Have you tried Baja Bobs mixers? They are mostly 0 carb. I get them at our huge liquor store (Specs).
The mojito mix is my favorite. I don’t drink tequila but I’ve heard the margarita mix is good. You can also order them online.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kim--you heard correctly. I picked up Baha Bob's margarita sugar free mix today at Total Wine and More(the world's largest ls)((even bigger than Lucy's)).
It is so good. You cannot tell that it is sugar free. I will try the mojita mix next. Thanks for mentioning it. I've tried others that were not nearly as good.

This is what I drink every morning- bulletproof coffee. There are a lot of different recipes I use one tbsp mct oil and 2 tbsp of heavy whipping cream in my coffee. I don’t have time to cook breakfast and this keeps me full till lunch and helps me get my fat grams for the day

So I went out today and bought some keto strips and am disappointed to find that I'm not in ketosis. I really haven't been counting carbs, but more like have been conscious of what I'm eating and trying to choose very low carb options.

Not doing any research hasn't helped since I found out today that the Atkins candies contain malitol which could actually kick you OUT of ketosis. Ugh, and they tasted sooo good!

I have lost about 3-4 pounds only and I'm sure that's more from cutting out the high sugar sweets and French fries rather than cutting back on carbs. Going to do more research but I guess it's just as simple as eating natural foods low in carbs!

Not really just looked at the labels and used the one that was lowest. Didn't put the whole jar on used like half. I always have HWC on hand. Think you could substitute spaghetti sauce.

I have been wicked lazy and boring lately, just eating the same old, same old stuff. I had these little turkey rollups for lunch - slice of deli turkey with a little mayo, topped with a butter lettuce leaf, slice of cheese (mine was cheddar but I bet it would be better with Swiss) and some chopped Kumato cherry tomato and a chopped baby onion. Roll it up, add s&p if desired.

7717

I actually saw a recipe that skipped the cheese and added chopped bacon to make it more like a club sandwich, but I don't have any bacon thanks to Gout Man.

I saw another one that used Italian cold cuts and provolone, and condiments like pickles, banana peppers, etc and then a spritz of Italian dressing, like an Italian sub.

Anyway, lunch was simple and tasty and for some reason I feel more motivated to get back to experimenting! I found some awesome recipes for grilled avocados done differently, and a couple of crab cake recipes that are on the agenda. I'll report back!

I know nothing (obviously) about the Keto diet. Can you eat fried green tomatoes?

Fried foods are tough, because wheat flour is a no-no. There are somethings you can substitute, but they really aren't as good. Here's one recipe I found using peanut flour. I have my doubts that they woud be anywhere near as good as the originals. https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/green-tomato-recipes/


Low Carb Fried Green Tomatoes


Ingredients


3 medium green tomatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 tbsp heavy cream
1/2 cup peanut flour (https://amzn.to/2Gkewkg) roasted and defatted
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1/4 cup olive oil





Slice the tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices and sprinkle with salt. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and heavy cream
In another small bowl, whisk together peanut flour and Cajun seasoning.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Dip each tomato slice into the egg wash, then dip into the peanut flour mixture, turning to coat evenly.
Fry tomato slices until browned and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper-towel lined plate. You will probably have to work in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.

I love your farmers market haul Chris! My farmers market trips on Saturday morning is the favorite part of my week! I live in a small suburb and we only have maybe 15 vendors and only 4 farmers but their stuff is yummy!

I did a bunch of keto cooking and prepping this week. I made 4 quarts of refrigerator pickles, a pint of ranch dip, a pint of blue cheese dip and some keto bread. We smoked a couple pork shoulders yesterday and had pulled pork with mashed cauliflower last night. I’ll vacuum seal a bunch of the pork and freeze it for quick meals this winter. Leftovers for lunch were delicious!

Hokey Moley, this was delicious and is definitely a keeper! Had it for late breakfast with sf maple syrup and sausage. Yummy!

Last night’s dinner. Romaine with Boar’s Head Sweet Slice ham and their rotisserie chicken, angel sweet tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives, shredded cheddar and Parmesan and my home made ranch dressing.
It’s just too damn hot to cook down here!

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkLocal grocer had this for $0.99 a lb. Ended up with 5 large chops and 3 roasts (4lb, 3lb 11oz, 2 1/2 lb). Would love to smother one of the roasts in saurkraut but Bill hates it so I will just cook it on the side. Thank goodness for vacuum sealers. 13 1/2 lbs in all for $13.43.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180818/6aabdd95e28189f9bb914f138e2bf570.jpg

That looks really yummy! Mayo and sour cream are fine on Keto. Those are the types of things that make this WOE work, IMO. We still get to eat rich tasting delicious foods and don't have to feel deprived. That is not to say that I'm not jealous of some of the amazing desserts and carbs things you guys post though!

[chrissyDee]

I realized I have been neglecting this thread! I have been plugging away with my Keto, but weight loss has slowed dramatically. I joined the Y to try to shake things up, but so far I haven’t been too consistent about going. I need to do better at that.

Mostly we eat the same stuff a lot which is why I haven’t posted much food porn, but I will do a little dump here now.

Typical breakfast. That’s a whole little avocado from Aldi’s. They have packs of 6 for $3.49 and it works out much better than eating half a regular one (usually $1.49 or more here for one) and hoping the other half doesn’t get gross.

I prefer the edamame pasta (it’s green and retains a better consistency)
The black bean pasta is better with spicy sauces, IMO.

I usually use Trader Joe’s riced cauliflower but HEB has these new varieties. I cooked the mixed one the sautéed it with some chopped rotisserie chicken. So it’s about 12 net carbs for the whole thing ( it’s says 6 per serving and there is 2g fiber) and it’s really good! I’ll try the broccoli and Parmesan later this week.

I have tried them! Jicama is almost tasteless raw and very crisp. So they break pretty easy when you fold them. I cut them into strips and fried them and I love the taste fried.
They are great on a salad that way.
Or you could fry them whole and use it like a tostado.

But to me they are a little pricey and not really worth the cost.

So I have been doing this Way of Eating for nearly a year now, and I visited my doctor today to check on things. Well, all of my tests were perfect! She was actually surprised that my numbers were so good, as she has a few other patients doing Keto that have had some issues. But she is very pleased with both the amount of weight I have lost in this amount of time, and the results of all my tests. She even asked for some pointers HHH

So, I am officially 60 pounds down and continuing on my journey. KETO ON!Hell yeah awesome Chris 60 lbs is amazing!

Glad it showed up in the numbers as well at Dr office.

You could maybe even get revaluated for life insurance and get a lower rate possibly . I did when I lost my 50 lbs dropped $30 a month

That is so awesome that it is paying off in better health, PLUS, let me tell you lady, your curves have shown up to the party!!!

[Nhcris]

That is fantastic news! I am sure it makes you feel really good to hear of the positive results you have achieved with this lifestyle change. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! It's been a struggle, but also it's been fun having my Joker Keto Buddies that help keep me accountable!


That is truly amazing! Congrats on taking control of your health and having such success. I’m trying so hard but struggling to make my exercise and good eating a permanent habit. You’re an inspiration for sure.

Thanks Elf, it's not easy, but the great thing is there are many ways to do it, as we can see from @Georgiagambler (https://jokerswildforum.com/member.php?u=133), @dvandentop (https://jokerswildforum.com/member.php?u=10), @DK528 (https://jokerswildforum.com/member.php?u=145), and so many other Jokers. Finding what works for you is the challenge. Besides, you look great and I bet your healthy, too!


You sexy mama! Congrats on the tests and the weight loss!
And you would post this as I am making a homemade Macaroni & Cheese. [emoji9]

Haha, far from sexy, but I'm working on it! I think I'll make some cauliflower mac & cheese tonight! Thanks, doll!


So proud of your weight loss and passing all your health tests with a gold star [emoji294]

Thanks Mimi. If I lived in your area, I would never be able to resist all the great food down there! You are beautiful just the way you are!

Thanks Derek. Your great success helped me kick start this whole thing, so thank you, thank you! And the best part is that my health is better and maybe I'll stick around for awhile :) I'll check into the life insurance thing, and I'll have Frank look into it, too. He's within 5 pounds of his goal weight, the sonofabitch!

Haha, thanks Michele! I have a long, long way to go and it's really slow progress now, but so worth it. Watching your clean eating and great ideas for veggies has been a big help!


I know I am still fat, and have a bunch more to lose, but honestly, I am not sure I could have gotten this far without this thread and all the encouragement from you guys! I know I could never have done it without the constant help and support from Laurie and foamy :love_heart:

I LOVE YOU ALL!

[Georgiagambler]

Wow Nhcris that’s great! I can’t believe it’s been a year already. You started a really wonderful push to get some healthy jokers too and it’s working [emoji3] Keep up the good work!

WTG Chris, Congrats on your weightloss...but MAN is it great when you get the thumbs up on bloodwork. You are looking younger and healthier!!!

[michelelovesvegas]

I have been doing terrible and stress eating with finding out about my mother. As things get worse, sure it will go the other way, nothing like deaths and divorces to drop weight. All the traveling we have had this summer hasn't helped either. Have 3 more trips to do in the next 30 days...

[CPT]

You go Chris! You resisted this amazing pot pie, it sure was good. HHH
