Think I'll try these. Have a bag of radishes I need to use up and I'm the only one that eats them.

don't let your oil go above 350f, takes about 10 min for them to brown/crisp!0

@JodehFoster tried your radishes today and they were awesome. Used coconut oil instead of lard since the smallest thing of lard my local grocer sells is a 5lb tub!! Reminded me of fried yellow squash. Don't think I sliced mine thin enough as some weren't as crisp as the other, but still yummy.1

Fiancé and I found this great place with very keto friendly meals. Here's mine: the cob salad! With ham, eggs, bacon, etc. in the background you can see their fabulous pork rind nachos we tore into before I could get a good picture.

Good thinking on the coconut oil! I have a 5# tub of lard, but it never goes bad lol0 -

I almost bought it, but we live in an apartment and our kitchen is tiny so really no where to store it. They are supposed to have the 1lb blocks but I have yet to see them.

I reduce heavy cream on the stove until it thickens to my liking, (reduce by half) & season w/ fresh nutmeg, white pepper, thyme (fresh & ground), salt. That's the base for my creamed peas, spinach or even better, kale. Just stir in leaves that have been wilted & drained. I also saute shallots & add to that as well. I cook for two of us & only make enough for each meal, I don't really have measurements.
Yeah, gruyere is a type of hard swiss, awesome melted on ham too!
Chiles Rellenos:
4-6 Large Poblano Peppers
Monterey Jack Cheese – shredded
Chicken or Pork – cooked, pulled, diced, leftovers, whatevs (meat is optional, usually made with cheese only)
Cilantro, Green Onion, Jalapeno – chopped
Roast peppers over a flame, either stovetop or grill until completely charred, place in bag & allow to steam for 10-15 minutes. Peel/clean the skins from the peppers, taking care not to tear them. I will run them under water to help rinse off the char. These can also be stuffed w/o charring/peeling if the skin does not bother you, will take a little longer in oven.
Mix equal parts cheese and meat, add cilantro/onion/peno to taste. Carefully make a cut down side of pepper & stuff with meat/cheese mixture.
Pour sauce below (or salsa seasoned with a pinch of cinnamon) into an iron skillet or baking dish, 1-2 cups, enough to cover bottom of pan. Place stuffed peppers in pan on top of sauce, cut-side up. Sprinkle more shredded cheese over top. Bake in pre-heated 400f oven for 10-15 min or until bubbly.
Mexican Tomato Sauce for the Chiles Rellenos (super easy to make if you have a blender):
• 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped (or canned whole peeled tomatoes, drained)
• 1/4 medium yellow onion
• 6 cloves garlic
• 5 sprigs fresh cilantro
• 1 jalapeno (with seeds)
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (preferably Mexican)
In a blender, combine all the ingredients and puree until smooth.
Transfer the tomato puree to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until slightly thick, about 10 minutes.
This sauce is incredible if you have the time to make it. I make it in large amounts and can it in pint jars, perfect amount per meal.
Yield: about 3 cups
I'll definitely be trying this too! Thanks0 -

I'm all about basic cooking. Keep it simple as possible.
I cooked some bacon.
I cooked some cut up chicken in the bacon grease.
I browned some garlic in some butter and coconut oil in a pan, added about 3-4oz HWC, stirred as it bubbled and slightly thickened. Then added some 5 cheese Italian blend shredded cheese. (Maybe 1/4 to 1/3 cup). Kept stirring til incorporated.
Put some thawed, frozen broccoli in a baking dish. Put chicken on top of that. Crumbled about 6 pieces of bacon all over that. Then dump the cheese sauce on all of it. Throw it in the oven til the broccoli is hot. About 15 minutes.
I topped it with a touch more cheese as I plated it too.
Freakin' awesome!5 -
I don't know how to post pictures yet, but I had 3 BBQ ribs and a salad made of lettuce, tomatoes, fried bacon and shredded white cheddar/gruyere blend cheese. The salad was drizzled with truffle flavor olive oil and acv. It was delicious0
