BBQ Bacon Grilled Cheese Sammich

This is going to be kind of an informal “recipe”. I feel like it needs to be because the idea of a sammich is that you’re hungry and you need portable food. Don’t overthink it. I wrote it up, but intentionally left out the nutrition facts. Aldi’s has a keto friendly bread that is about … Read more

Low Carb Shake & Bake

Anyone remember Shake N Bake? For the uninitiated, its a flavored breading mix that came in a bag. You would put the raw meat in the bag, shake the bag until the meat was coated, then place on a baking dish and bake said meat. That stuff was delicious. Lower carb diets have been all … Read more

Scotch Apple Spray

If there’s anything I can’t stand, its dry meat. I have this problem with poultry, especially. I’ve heard of people doing this before with water bottles. This spray adds a nice hint of sweetness along with subtle notes of the flavoring of whatever scotch you use. While you don’t have to use the scotch, it … Read more
