Tips for everyday keto :)

Common fridge things:

kerry gold (butter)

cherry tomatoes

cauliflower

smoked streaky bacon

hellmans mayonnaise

mini cheeses (eg cathedral city selections normally)

grated mozzarella (magic ingredient)

actually, all the cheese (grated parmesan, cheddar, smoked cheddaretc)

pepperoni/deli meat/sliced beef

double cream

spring onions

gem lettuce

Common freezer things:

all the sale meat (buy cheap, freeze)

fat bombs (normally choc/peanut butter)

broccoli (cheaper, more convenienet, apparently more nutrients)

portions of low-carb tortillas (ie one or two in bags)

Common cupboard things:

eggs

roasted peanuts

tuna

peanut butter

sweetener

coconut oil

unsweetened cocoa powder

Versatile Meals:

Defrost chicken breast the day before, wrap in bacon pop in oven for 35 minutes, top with cheese, bake for 5 mins and microwave frozen broccoli

combine grated mozzarella and 3 eggs. Add teaspoon of garlic powder and oregano. Makes a base which can be turned into pizza/breadsticks/garlic bread (pop that mix on a greaseproof paper lined tray, flatten to half an inch or so, bake for 20 minutes until golden on top, add toppings as required eg low carb tomato puree, salami and parmesan/mozzarella etc)

can of tuna, spoon of mayo, some chopped onions. Bonus if you have a gem lettuce to make into a wrap.

slice of beef, dash of mustard, gem lettuce leaf as a wrap

Chop half a cauliflower into florets, add salt and pepper. Nuke in microwave for 4 mins. Add a knob of butter and splash of cream. Stir. Nuke for another 4 minutes (should be soft). Pop some cheddar (about 100g) in a food processor. Grate. Add cauliflower. Blend. Best mash ever. Works as main or side.

Defrost chicken breast day before. Cover in melted butter. Roll in a combination of grated cheddar and herbs (eg oregano, thyme). Bake for 30 minutes. Serve with microwaved broccoli, baby spinach etc

Pop streaky bacon and 5 chopped cherry tomatoes on a foil-lined baking tray. Bake for 20-30 mins (depending on how you like your bacon). Fry an egg or two in some coconut oil. Breakfast!

mix some herbs with water (eg tikka spices). Roll chicken thighs/legs/breasts in this mixture. Bake in the oven on some foil for 30 mins or so. May work if you exchange water for melted butter, haven’t tried this but it just occured to me. will be trying next time!

The house chef “Me” messed around with 90 second bread recipe and accidentally created what I can only describe as Keto Cornbread.

Recipe type: Low Carb, Gluten Free, Paleo

Ingredients 3 tablespoon butter (melted) ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese (shredded) 2 tablespoon coconut flour ½ teaspoon baking powder

Mix all ingredients in a 6” microwaveable dish on high for 90 seconds. Wait 30 seconds and microwave on high for 60 seconds. Wait 30 seconds and microwave on high for an addition 60 seconds. Let it rest for 30 seconds.

Run a small spatula around edges to loosen and under finished product. Flip the dish upside down on heated plate. Slice and voila!

Yes you’re overcooking it and the coconut flour will dry up a bit on the edges giving you a crispy buttery consistency.

Next time I’m doubling the batch and baking after microwaving with these times see how that turns out.

My idea of fast food - for those days you're just too tired to cook: 1 bag of frozen broccoli 1 bag of frozen prawns Toss them into a wok with a few tablespoons of water, a tablespoon of tasteless coconut oil, half a cube of chicken stock and finely diced garlic and ginger to taste. When the prawns are cooked and the broccoli still has crunch, stir in a teaspoon of Xantham gum to thicken the sauce. Throw in a handful of roasted cashews. Fast food for 2, cooked faster than you can order it. #noexcuses
