My son is a chef, we take turns to cook for ourselves, his mum, and our 22 year old grandson. We eat very well. But mum and I are getting on now, so we don't have huge appetites. The last time I cooked something different was a sweet n sour chicken. My own sauce, rice, and veggies. The chef son was suitably impressed.

Breakfast this morning is home made sausage and hash browns....

Fresh sage is the star in the sausage and the hash browns are shredded potatoes cooked in bacon grease into a patty and really crispy on the outside....gooshy in the center.

One of my favorite meals ...something I eat about 3 times a week.

*1 grass fed beef burger patty (with organ meats)
*2 pasture raised eggs
Topped with melted butter and raw milk cheese, seasoned with Redmond's salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
*30ozs Berkey filtered water

Dessert: Rebel brand keto peanut butter cup ice cream (I don't have this often, and when I do, it's usually keto vanilla ice cream. I splurged this time. lol)

Nearly ...about 98-99%. I have added back a little bit of oxalate-containing foods to slow down my body dumping the oxalates stored in my body from the massive amounts of veggies, nuts, seeds, and fruits I was eating. So ...I have some keto ice cream now and then, or a couple squares of Lily's dark chocolate with some herbal tea. I would advise looking into healthy meat/fat heavy keto, doing that for a couple of months... then low-oxalate keto for a couple of months ...and transitioning from there to low-oxalate ketovore .....stay there a couple of months ...then carnivore. This way, your body doesn't think it's time to dump loads of oxalates all at once.

We did it for three months before we found out about baby number 2. My husband lost about 55 pounds. It was a great thing for both of us.

My one meal today was at 5:30pm.

I had 3 organic eggs with organic Monterey cheese, 7 pastured pork breakfast sausages, and one chicken sausage link ...and filtered water.

And yes, it filled me up, big time! lol
That's why I usually only eat one meal a day.

I made a keylime cheesecake this week. Last weekend, a white chocolate cheesecake for our church picnic.

I made a cheesecake today. It's down there cooling off. I've discovered the secret to baking a cheesecake without it cracking, lol. It came out perfect. I'll let it set up overnight and then top it with Strawberry topping tomorrow morning. With Coffee.

A white chocolate cheesecake? How do you do that?

This is the recipe I used. It also works well as a base recipe for other flavors.

Add melted white chocolate chips, of course! Although I seem to be out of vanilla bean paste, lol. That does sound good though as a base recipe.

They even knew the secret I figured out so it wont crack when you bake it. Don't over mix it and add the eggs last and simply blend them without overmixing. They said it's because air enters the mixture if you overmix it and that makes sense.

My ex wife was an awesome cook, raised on a farm and stuff but she couldnt bake cheesecake without it cracking and I can! Lol! I know why too, I was there that day when she got the recipe over the phone from her mom...
If her mom had been here she might of told her to not overmix it! But she wasnt, lol. All she did was get the recipe and went for it. I feel good about that. She figured out to bake it on 325 because it cooks slower and helps, but it would still crack as it cooled.

My cheesecake & Coffee was good this morning! I still have about 1/2 of it, lol.

Well,
Let's start with last week....

Last Tuesday I finally had the Sr Pastor from my church over for dinner. I've had several of the others over but it's been a minute. We have wanted to because we wanted to get to know him on a more personal level and to develop the questions to ask him about past decisions.

So we had home made sourdough baguette with herbed olive oil for dipping....then filet mignon with a golden tomatoe and thyme pesto demi Glace and an herbed pasta (angel hair) Primavera with spaghetini vegetables. (I made the pasta too as well as the alphredo sauce) Also had some milk bread clover rolls to go with dinner.
Then for dessert we had chocolate kahlua mousse in a cookie shell tart with strawberry sauce and strawberries.
I started the demi Glace with the pot gravy made from a yankee pot roast I made the Saturday before.

Then today....
Put up 4+ more pint jars of herb pesto.

And my wife, excited by all the herbs we were putting up and processing started mimicking Donald Trump but talking about how good these herbs were. It was hilarious and got me pondering it all too about exactly what he would say with that cadence he has....and how the world's finest chefs would be impressed with how good this pesto and herbs were....ROFL.
