I've been having some extraordinarily yummy "Naughty" meals lately
I've also accidentally been intermittent fasting due to sleeping late and forgetting to have breakfast.
Brunch:
Two poached eggs with butter croutons made with my keto white bread crusts.
Leerdammer cheese puffs made by blitzing squares of Leerdammer slices in my halogen until they puffed up and went crunchy.
Evening meal:
Keto Buffalo Wings with a cream cheese & mayo dip.
Keto crisps with a hot sauce dip.
Very simple to make and pretty inexpensive too.
Buffalo wings were made with frozen chicken wings from Tesco. I used six of them for my splurge.
I thawed them in the fridge overnight and then ignored all the internet recipes that told me to rub baking powder into them to make them crisp up because it sounded awful and it involved waiting and patting it with paper towels and I have no patience for fiddling about or wasting paper towels. Thawing out is as much waiting about I am prepared to do for a simple recipe.
I then bunged them into my halogen oven for 20 minutes at 200C in the air fryer basket I got over Christmas until they were crispy.
Meanwhile I melted a tablespoon of butter in my microwave together with a tablespoon of Franks Buffalo Wings Hot Sauce.
Then I rolled the cooked buffalo wings in the sauce and put them back in the halogen until the crisped up again.
I made the dip by mixing a tablespoon of cream cheese with a tablespoon of mayonnaise (Hellmans Organic Mayonnaise) and a chopped gherkin and some dried dill and a puff of garlic powder.
Done.
The crisps are just a made by peeling very thin transparent strips off a celeriac with a sharp peeler. Then shallow fried in extra virgin olive oil until they go like autumn leaves. Served with a dip of Franks hot sauce. I discovered Franks hot sauce this week and I am hooked!
I've done an hour of exercise so far and I am about to do a little bit more. But just some gentle table tennis so I don't get over stimulated before bedtime.
