Eating on Food Trucks

Eating out is always a challenge. The first picture has 2 plates. One is mine and one is someone else's.  Guess which one is mine?  Mine is the one without the bread.  It was a chicken taco without the bread.  I was not very satisfied after eating it because it was small and it was low fat.  there was no extra butter that I could ask for on the food truck.  Its limited fat on trucks.  Wish they would carry lots of butter for my tastes.  The second pic is just my food by itself in case you could not guess which one was mine and which one was someone else's.

What really satisief was pictures 3 and 4.  they are chicken skin balls deep fried with a lot of grease. i dont remember the rest of what was in there, just remember that it was a lot of fat. And fat i find very satifying and it makes me full and keeps me full.

there is always something that you can eat when out, whether from a  truck or a restaurant.  Sometimes its hard to find options, but the easy way is to just get something apetizing and ask them to hold the bread.    I was hoping there would be more options, as I really wanted to bite into a chicken leg but could not find that.  I did eat well that day and felt satisfied.  What more can a broke low carber ask for?

Breakfast with a good friend

Do you ever wonder what to eat when you go out?  I dined for breakfast with a really good friend of mine (No sadly, it wasnt Neta)---.  And there are a lot of high carb options, but how can you make your meal low carb?  Here is what I did-
I gave my friend all my carbs---thats why she has much on her side! the potatos were mine and i generously donated them.  She had pancakes, hashbrowns and eggs.  That is a lot of carbs.  I had eggs, steak tips, sweet peppers and onions.  I asked for extra  butter for the side, but when I took one bite,  I knew it was not butter, but actually margarine.

Breakfast was nice. It was nice for me to look at those pancakes, some times i like to see eye candy.  I did not eat any high carb items but ate a delicious low carb meal.  I drank water with my meal.  You can always make any option at a restaurant a low carb option, just give your carbs to someone else or ask the waitstaff not to give it to you.

Eating pizza again after 8 mos!!!!

I have not had pizza in 8 months, because I was low carbing.  One day while browsing, I came across this recipe

http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/italian/no-dough-pizza.html
My pizza came out looking more like a casserole than an actual pizza

oops, I put WAY too much toppings on it.  My take on it, its very very cheesey.  It wasnt hard where you could just pick it up with your hands, but you have to use a fork to eat it.  It tasted really good, and I didnt miss the high carb pizza.
I used chicken and peppers for the topping

How to make crispy bacon!

So this is a method I found to make bacon crispy (when I can find actual bacon that has no preservatives or at least has the absolute minimum of 'bad mojo' in them, these had 0.2 carbs per 100 grams)

Step 1 !

Put in a tray some aluminium foil and bake at 150-200 oC until it looks half-way done

Step 2 !

Flip your bacon and let it cook at 100-150 until crispy!

Step 3!! 

Leave the kitchen for a bit and have a hungry guest just eat up your crispy bacon and don't manage to take a picture! Try it out! Cook until crisp to your preference!
