This evening I got a workout in the kitchen - I made my nacho mix - (it can be used in tacos, put over chips as nachos, wrapped in tortillas and fried as burritos, etc.) I didn't add my usual black beans (carbs) and because the beef was lean I used a big dollop of bacon grease to saute it. I think it is at least keto-adjacent (onions, peppers, tomatoes, tomato paste, spices, and some olive oil) also. It was a big batch so there are several jars in the freezer and a big bowl in the fridge; tomorrow I'll jar and freeze more of it. I'll probably eat this will small dipping corn tortilla chips (Aldi has a brand that are smaller than the usual restaurant ones so you can eat the meat with fewer calories from chips.)

I also made a batch of the smoky gouda spread/dip that has pecans, cream cheese, sour cream, and some seasonings. I found some Blue Diamond almond and flax seed crackers that go well with it.

Tomorrow afternoon is hot again (99o) but the morning will be in the low-70s, so I'll so some mowing; the side yard and back really need it.
