One Pot Beef Stew prepped for tomorrow! I always make sure to dry-brine my beef cuts, even if I'm using cheap cuts for stews, 'cause half the magic is in that beautiful fond you get from a solid sear! No red wine on hand, so I did a deglaze with a tiny bit of mirin and quickly followed it up with the broth/stock before throwing the ol' dutch oven in the, er, oven. Experimenting with flavour profiles is fun! It's fork-tender now, most of the fatty bits have rendered out nicely into the broth, helping to thicken it (no roux or flour for today's stew!) Can't wait for lunch tomorrow! #ILoveCheapCutsAndICanNotLie #MealPrep #homecooking #cooking #foodstagram #foodie #homechef #notachef #beefstew #stew #paleodiet #paleolifestyle #paleo #gymfood #workout #workoutfood #protein #hearty #fusioncooking #fusioncuisine #yummy #nomnom #dinner #lunch #food https://www.instagram.com/p/CK_5FDfns2n/?igshid=yy6ii0tp9hzq

Another week, another 2kg of skinless Chicken Breast prepped! This time in a zesty lemon garlic / olive oil marinade, and with rosemary & thyme. This should last about 12-15 meals' worth for only $15 in total! Very budget-friendly, plenty of lean protein and flavour, and I can easily portion out my low carb intake via veggies/fruits. #paleolifestyle #paleodiet #chickenbreast #chicken #protein #healthyliving #paleo #foodie #healthyeating #yummy #nomnom #notachef #dinner #homecooking #cooking #Fitness #food #foodstagram #foodie #homechef #Fitnessmeals https://www.instagram.com/p/CKyTb0_n2DR/?igshid=ekzgo8qxyqqa

Another day, another beef stew to slow-cook overnight for separation into meals for the new week ahead! Decided to render the fat out of a couple of bacon strips as a base, along with olive oil, and to also get some toasting done on thyme/cumin/paprika/rosemary and a couple other spice blends I keep handy. #paleolifestyle #paleodiet #beefstew #protein #healthyliving #healthyeating #yummy #nomnom #notachef #dinner #homecooking #cooking #Fitness #food #foodstagram #foodie #homechef #Fitnessmeals https://www.instagram.com/p/CKtX6dHHMVW/?igshid=kntbm6sgwfnt

Today I realised that doing 20 pushups and taking 9min break = about 120 pushups per/hr. 5x a day = 600 pushups! Finally, I can be like Saitam- *falls dead* #OnePunchMan #workout #Fitness #exercise #transformation #suddendeath https://www.instagram.com/p/CKs0ai6nhyu/?igshid=otf0ibopmm75

2nd-degree Burn update: Been administering my own first-aid for the past week, and a new layer of tissue has finally formed at the epidermis, with no signs of infection.👍 Cleaned and disinfected the area yet again using sterilised scissors, both before and after, to remove the remaining dead excess skin surrounding the main burn area and reduce any possibility of future infection. Secured the sterile custom ointment and non-stick gauze over the new tissue using a crepe bandage, wrapped in a figure-of-8, making sure the wounds are able to breathe properly, and ensured that healthy blood circulation was not impaired. Should be able to resume dumbbell work on my left hand now, which I've had to refrain from doing for the past 6 days. がんばりますよ! 😊👍🏋️🏋️💥💯 #firstaid #injury #burns #healing #NoExcuses #exercise #dumbbellworkout #Fitness #Fitnessgoals #lifting #weighttraining #homeworkout #NoPainNoGain #Paleo #paleolifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CKkk8yMHri1/?igshid=1cph9ath3hoxh

Garlic Miso Beef Stew simmered in a homemade Bone & Collagen broth! Nice, light flavour profile, and Paleo-friendly to boot! Really easy on the wallet too, using less than $9 worth of ingredients, and it will last for at least 4 to 5 meals! #paleolifestyle #paleodiet #beefstew #protein #healthyliving #healthyeating #yummy #nomnom #notachef #dinner #homecooking #cooking #Fitness #food #foodstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjRl2WnKhz/?igshid=19x685fwqchi0

First time cooking since I incurred 2nd-degree burns on my hands. Since I'm cooking one-handed, I decided to cut corners on a basic custom paleo beef stew. Beef Post-sear, didn't bother to caramelise the onions or toast the spices, but I did prepare a custom bone broth stock on the side for a majority of the liquid. Decided to opt out of my usual choice of San Marzano tomatoes, and went with a little custom spicy miso mixture and some herbs that will complement that flavour profile (fingers crossed). Now to simmer it in the oven for ~3 hours or so, till the beef is fork-tender, and my next batch of 3x high protein, low carb meals should be ready! #paleolifestyle #paleodiet #beefstew #protein #healthyliving #healthyeating #yummy #nomnom #notachef #dinner #homecooking #cooking #Fitness #food https://www.instagram.com/p/CKi6zreHu5D/?igshid=1s9r925iy3ft5

3-4% down from last check-in. Halfway to the green! 6.9% more to the Jackson & Pollard ideal. Will measure again in 2 months. 😄👍 #bodybuilding #aesthetics #Fitness #macros #lifting https://www.instagram.com/p/CKiTiTTHisb/?igshid=1fn5zjp38p1vy

Was careless and spilled boiling oil on both my hands yesterday, and gave myself 2nd-degree burns. Didn't expect how painful and long-lasting it would be, though. Can't imagine how excruciating it must be for serious burn victims that suffer 3rd/4th degree burns all over their bodies. Yikes. Well, looks like I won't be able to do weight lifting for a few days now. /sigh #burn #injury #blister #pain #fail #ouch https://www.instagram.com/p/CKU8QPHHnrg/?igshid=7vmd2dmtfvl0
