Steak and Baked Potato
Steak and a wee baked (microwaved) potato with butter. So yummy! Remember, I am on maintenance. How much simpler could this meal be? Skip the potato, I guess. LOL [I cooked my steak out on the patio with my new butane stove today. No lingering meat smell in the apartment for the first time ever!]
Read MoreSpanish Omelette or Tortilla (Recipe Link)
Spanish-style omelette/tortilla with 1 small potato (I am on maintenance so I do eat a few more carbs sometimes), ghee, 2 shallots, 3 baby red peppers, 3 eggs, 3 bacon purses, salt and pepper. This meal was quite filling, but low in protein, so I likely will need to top up later on. And… the…
Read MoreBeef Finger Meat Stew with Carrots and Potatoes (Recipe Link)
Beef finger meat stew with shallot, celery, eggplant, carrots and potatoes. I had two servings as this is a fairly small bowl. [Remember, I am on maintenance, so a few carby veggies like carrots and potatoes are generally okay… for me!] I used this base recipe: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-chinese-beef-stew/.
Read MoreMiddle Eastern Ground Beef and Potato
Middle Eastern Ground Beef with one small potato. A great meal to help me build up my blood again after donating a pint yesterday! Also, I am on maintenance, hence the potato.
Read MoreMiddle Eastern Ground Beef, Fried Eggplant and Potato, Sour Cream
Middle Eastern ground beef served on a bed of diced, fried Chinese eggplant and potato, topped with sour cream. Delicious! Note: I am on maintenance, hence the small potato (~27 gm carbs). Also, I don’t eat much dairy, but I felt sour cream would round out this dish… and it did!
Read MoreLeftover Meat and a Small Potato
One chicken thigh, two English banger sausages, four bacon “purses” and a small buttered potato (~28 g carbs) cooked in the microwave. I am on maintenance, hence the little potato. A lovely, easy meal, as the meat was all pre-cooked and just needed reheating in the air-fryer!
Read MoreHot Dogs, Fried Eggs and Potato
Beef hot dogs, three fried eggs, a small potato, butter. I am on maintenance hence the occasional higher carbs (~46 total grams; hot dogs + potato). Note: A cooked, cooled potato has resistant starch which feeds the friendly bacteria in your intestine and increases the production of short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. Butyrate feeds the…
Read MorePotato and Sardine Hash
Sardine and potato hash, with three boiled eggs for extra protein. For those of you who need a lower carb count, I make something imilar with Konjak noodles which is really delicious, but much lower in carbs.
Read MoreBrisling Sardines (Sprats) and Potato Hash
Brisling sardine hash with green onions, a small potato (I’m on maintenance and can afford a few extra carbs), ginger/garlic/chili paste, salt; Romaine lettuce salad with red onion, red peppers and salsa mayo. Delicious! However, this meal was low in protein (only 16 gm in the fishies), so I will likely need to eat something…
Read MoreChicken, Burger, Sausage, Carrots, Potato
One crispy chicken thigh, one English banger sausage, one 4 oz. beef patty; 100 gm. carrots (weighed raw), 1/2 small potato, 1 tsp butter. This meal was delicious! Also a bit high in carbs (26.5 gm) because of the carrots, but I’m on maintenance and can handle a few extra carbs now and then. Nevertheless, I…
