Yep. That’s the dog – in his bed – on my desk/kitchen table – looking at me like he’s not getting every damn thing he wants in life and it’s my fault.

Today was another good day. I felt like I ate enough – turns out I did not fat-wise after dinner – and I was fine hunger wise.

Breakfast

Coffee

Lunch

Were out at Grand Central Station, popped into the food court to a place called Tri Tip Grill. Had ridiculously delicious grilled tri tip with some roasted veggies, horseradish & au jus.

Note: we did not eat the corn or half the carrot – we split the veggie tray.

Leftover Pecan Stuffing with sliced ham lunch meat.

Sun Butter Fat Bombs

Scrambled eggs with a tablespoon heavy cream before we left + coffee with almond milk while on the road.

Lunch

Gas station haul. Quest bar (4g net carbs), Choula flavored jerky (3g net carbs) & smokehouse spicy almonds (4g net carbs).

Took this ridiculous creature hiking up near Breakneck Ridge/Bull Hill today. Explored the Edward J. Cornish house ruins and walked along the water.


He was ridiculously excited to have some freedom.


Keto Day 25 of 30

Today was great. I felt good and we even managed to eat compliant while wandering Chinatown.

Breakfast

Cacao sun butter smoothie + grande almond milk cafe misto.


Lunch

Went out for Chinese hot pot. Like Shabu-Shabu from Japan, hot pot consists of a big bowl of broth heated at the table – you add meat, veggies & noodles and cook as you go.

The place we visited was all-you-can-eat, and included your choice of starch (which we forewent) and a selection of 12 ice creams (we reluctantly forewent).

We had spicy thai pork broth & spicy beef broth with:

Pork belly (bacon)

Sirloin 

White fish

Ribeye

Pork shoulder

Shrimp

Bok choy 

Chinese spinach

Enoki 

Radish

Lotus 

Broccoli

And peanut sesame oil + black vinegar garlic sauces I made.


Not quite sure exactly how to plug this into macros, but I’ll give it a shot.

Dinner

Nope.

Snack

Lemon fat bombs

Keto Pecan Stuffing

I was so excited about this recipe when I saw it on Pinterest. 

This is pretty much everything I want in stuffing – with none of the cloyingly dry grossness that is the bread. 

Keto FTW!

Gluten-free, paleo, Keto, Whole30


Keto Pecan Stuffing
Based on Low Carb Pecan Stuffing by Simply So Healthy

4 ribs celery
1/2 a white onion
8 – 10 ounces pecans
Fresh sage
Fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp. fat of choice (I used bacon fat)
1 Tbsp. unsalted grass-fed butter
Himalayan salt & black pepper

Thinly slice the celery and dice the onion. Add to a large pan with the Tablespoon fat over medium heat. Sautée until the veggies are softened.
While the veggies work, mince the herbs (you’ll want 3 – 4 Tbsp. in total).

When the veggies are softened, add the herbs, pecans and butter. Sautée until the pecans are starting to burn. Hit with salt & pepper to taste.

Want to take this stuffing from delicious to ;)&(@,!?)’ delicious? Add the drippings from a turkey and cook an additional 3 – 5 minutes. This dish is great without, but with …. holy shit, this is good.

Serves 4 or so as part of a big holiday spread.
