Instant Pot Turkey and Wild Rice Soup (Not Low Carb)
This Instant Pot turkey and wild rice soup is very good. However, the wild rice takes very centre stage and it’s not a taste I’m overly fond of. I guess I thought that the wild rice would take a back stage to the other ingredients in the recipe. Therefore, in the future, I think I…
Read MoreJamie Oliver’s Sticky Miso Chicken Traybake (Not Low Carb)
Jamie Oliver’s Sticky Miso Chicken Traybake https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/jamies-sticky-miso-chicken-traybake.html This was okay, but not super great. It made a lot of rice. I used chicken legs instead of drumsticks, so I cooked the dish for longer. Also, I parboiled the broccoli for three minutes and soaked the rice in boiling water first, which I’m glad I did.…

It is very easy to make keto/low-carb iced tea at home. Brew a pot of your favourite black tea (I like Yorkshire Tea, as one teabag will make a whole pot of tea and it has a nice flavour). Put the brewed tea in the fridge until cold. Pour into a jug and add ice,…

Read MoreCan I Eat Rice on a Low-carb Diet? (Chicken Congee Recipe)
You can eat anything you want on a low-carb diet, as long as you keep the DAILY TOTAL carbs at 20 grams or less. But most people completely stop eating sweets, grains (including rice), potatoes, pasta, etc. because you can’t eat much of those foods before you reach 20gm of total carbs. However, 1/2 a…
Read MorePhilly Cheese Steak (Recipe)
Philly Cheese Steak or maybe Philly “Cheat” Steak is more accurate, since no steak is used in this recipe! Regular/medium ground beef, ghee, onion, green pepper, Chinese eggplant, soft goat cheese, baby tomatoes (just for the colour), Worcestershire Sauce, s&p. Wow, this was DELICIOUS! Recipe Ingredients 1 lb (454g) regular/medium ground beef 1/2T ghee 1/2…
