I discovered a little trick to keep half an avocado from going brown. wet a paper towel & put it on top, molding it to the exposed flesh. put in the fridge. I had one stay perfectly good for 2 days like this.

I'm going to have to try this and that recipe!

Looks soooo good!

I LOVE Mayo and Sour Cream (I know how special that sounds, but I do, even full fat Sour Cream is very low cal and low carb for the flavor punch, in my opinion) and I'm trying to squeeze cauliflower (EW!) into my diet because I hear it's good for tightening the skin, which seems to be an issue when you lose a ton of weight in Keto!

that looks so yummy! do you know how many calories per serving? it looks like a lot..

cool. i deginitely want to try making this this weekend i guess for lunch - instead of bacon i will add sausage for extra protein.

I added more veggies yesterday, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower & had avocado (though technically a fruit) and today I'm down 0.6 lbs which is a lot considering i've been stalled for ages. Looks like I'll be adding move veggies from now on

Grats!!! Veggies are a great part of the diet, I'm frnakly not a huge fan of them but I'm getting into the habit of eating a lot just because they're filling and useful for... Um... Well, regularity, let's say. ;-)

Cauliflower is so good at being a kind of "filler." It carries other flavor so well! Cauliflower can also be used in a lasagna bake. It can be riced and used in a fried rice kind of dish. It can be cut into chunks and covered in cheese for a cauli mac and cheese. So many ways to use it and none of them have a particular "cauliflower taste" to them.

I wondered if I'd now tried everything and hoped I hadn't as new discoveries and recipes are great. Today I tried celeriac for the first time .... fantastic! Very different carb counts but I went for the count on the label (Tesco celeriac) Trimmed it weighed just under 800grams. I boiled and mashed half .. delicious, and I sliced the other half making french fries .. no par boiling, just coating in 2T garlic olive oil and 1T balsamic dipping oil and cooked in oven at around 190/ 370? for around 30 mins. They were not crispy but had a better flavour than plain french fries and not like celery! So my husband and I had approx 190g each today (6g carbs I think) and will eat the mash tomorrow. He loved them too! I think mash will always be celeriac now instead of cauli. I need veg if its only to put the butter on to get my fats up!

Brussel sprouts are fine, low in carbs. I have them at least once a week.

I enjoy my vegetables. I try to mix it up as much as possible with respect to variety. In addition to all kinds of lettuces (try having some arugula, tomato and parmesan shreds with your roast beef!), I also enjoy scallions, cucumber (technically a fruit), jicama, spaghetti squash, artichokes, eggplant, green beans, cauliflower, celery, bok choy, modest amounts of onion and garlic. I usually add a diced carrot, together with celery and onion, when making a soup. I make a vegetarian vegetable soup and have a serving of it several times a week, together with some protein and fat. I like "greens" (kale, collard, mustard, spinach) but only if they are cooked, like say, with ham hock. Broccoli is okay, but I prefer it cooked.

I don't know if you can get it there, but if you haven't tried komatsuna give it a shot. It's kind of like spinach but without the bitterness.

Hmmm, never heard of komatsuna...I'll have to check that out...
