Saturday's lunch was a combination of keto breakfast sandwiches and two grocery-store salads (not pictured below), and I have enough sandwich material left over for tomorrow. I made my usual breakfast-sausage patties, but with regular BochaSweet instead of brown sugar (I'm out of BochaSweet brown sugar). I also cooked up some thick-cut bacon (sliced into lardons) and made some blueberry jam with cinnamon, lemon juice, and BochaSweet. Lastly, I used my waffle iron to make keto waffles from an almond-flour base (plus eggs, heavy cream, cream cheese, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and yes—more BochaSweet). Oh, right: I also added a slice of American cheese to each sandwich. You can see the results below. My pancake/waffle recipe, found online, barely makes six waffles, i.e., three sandwiches.

I see that the bloob jam isn't visible. I'll provide a picture tomorrow.

The sandwiches were good and filling. I then had myself a big salad (well, two small salads combined into one big one, with added leftover bacon). Tomorrow, since the grocery will be closed, I'll grab salads from Paris Baguette. Unless it's closed, too, but it usually isn't.
Normally, my meals on eating days are a lot simpler (Sat., Sun., Wed.): just my salads plus a 250-gram (half-pound) salmon steak that I poach by immersing in boiling water (still wrapped in its packaging), then allowing to simmer for 14 minutes before extracting the fish, opening the package, and enjoying the flaky perfection. I added only lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and that's a perfectly decent hunk of fish.
So today was and tomorrow will be something of a keto treat. And yes, berries in moderation are okay on keto thanks to their fiber content, which helps to protect one from their fructose content. Other keto-friendly berries include strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
There might be more pics tomorrow.
That's definitely a unique-looking breakfast sandwich. I like all the ingredients, but I never even thought of using waffles for the bun.
ReplyDeleteYeah, keto-heads have been using waffles as "buns" for years. Many waffles are made with "fathead dough," i.e., dough heavy in dairy products like cheese. Cheese-based waffles are called "chaffles." The above waffles are made from a keto pancake-batter recipe, so they've got an almond-flour base.
