Not much going on...

Just a quick little post to say I've not been doing much in the kitchen where I've photographed food.

On Labor Day, I started on a Keto/LCHF (low carb high fat) way of eating.  I'm doing well eating this way...and it's much easier than I thought it would be! And boy, do my joints ever feel better with the extra fat in my diet!!!  I'm still working on a 'grove' to get things rolling with new recipes.  What it comes down to is the need to be more organized and do a monthly menu plan, which I did all the time when raising my 3 kiddos.

Here I was making my dad's famous grilled chicken.  The 'sauce' is nothing but butter, Worcestershire, vinegar, salt and water.  Low & slow & SO delicious!!  The boys were over for dinner and I just forgot to snap a picture of the finished/cooked chicken.
Here's my dad's special sauce:

  • 1
    pint water                                                Heat all ingredients till butter melts.
  • 1
    pint vinegar                                             Keep it warm throughout grilling.
  • ½
    lb. butter                                                 Use mop/squirt bottle to keep sauce on chicken
  • 3
    Tbsp. salt                                                       throughout entire grilling.
  • 2
    Tbsp. Worcestershire                             Grill on med/low until chicken is very tender, 
                                                                           adding sauce often.                                                               

    This is a LOT of sauce.  I usually cut the recipe in half if I'm only doing a couple of chickens.  I either cut them in half or quarters & start the grilling process with skin side DOWN.



This was a quick cabbage, onion & smoked sausage dinner I threw together.  No recipe needed.  Just browned the sausage & removed from pan while sautéing the onions & cabbage.  Then threw it all together.  We like our cabbage on the 'firmer' side.  It was delicious.
