BBQ RIBS AND CHICKEN

DINNER AT HOME

I have been craving BBQ Ribs for a few weeks.  Don't know why but just wanted some.  Funny thing is I don't eat a lot of Ribs.  I'll eat one or two and be satisfied and done.  My BBQ Chicken really satisfied too.  Think I liked the Chicken more than the Ribs this time.  Made a few sides to go with the BBQ for the perfect small backyard BBQ.

Our friends cancelled dinner at the last minute last night so we did not eat dinner.

Woke up pretty hungry and found some great items in the fridge.  Made this breakfast that was delicious, filling and satisfying.  Cannot ask for much more.

Eating a low carb diet did not stop me from enjoying my favorite Burrito in Hawaii.  I ordered the Macho Carne Asada Burrito at Alejandro's and ate everything except the Tortilla, Rice and Beans.  Believe it or not, it did satisfy my Burrito cravings and I loved eating just the meat, cheese and Pico de Gallo.

ZUCCHINI SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

Made a Meat Sauce with Beef and Italian Sausage, Onions, Carrots, Celery, Oregano, Basil and Tomato Sauce.  To stay low carb for me I made Zucchini Spaghetti and mixed it with a little regular spaghetti.  My gals went full on carbs with regular spaghetti and garlic bread.

Date Night at Et Al. in Kahala was delicious.  Enjoyed our meal and the fact that we were only minutes from home.  We started with fresh Oysters which were ok.  My Wife said one of them was bad and tasted terrible.  The Chicken Liver Mousse was delicious on the perfect grilled Sourdough.  Wish I could have eaten more of that bread but because of my low carb diet I only ate about 1/3 of one piece.  The Little Gem Lettuce Salad was amazing.  I am not a big fan of Salmon on my salad but this salad was perfect.  Great flavors and texture that both me and the Wife said we would go back for.  Loved it.  The Maui Beets were delicious but why they covered the beautiful colors of the beets with radish is beyond me.  Looked kind of stupid.  Liked the flavor of the Beets and the Pistachios.  The star of the dinner for me was the Rack of Lamb.  A bit expensive at $48 but it was probably one of the best tasting and perfectly cooked lamb dishes of my life.  The flavor of the Lamb was amazing with the charred outer Macadamia Nut Crust.  Loved the Lamb!  My Wife also liked the Kona Kampachi which was cooked to perfection and served with a large bowl of Garlic Fried Rice which she loved.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERONI PIZZA ON ZERO NET CARB PIZZA CRUST

LUNCH AT HOME

So my gals abandoned me today and left me to watch the Masters Golf Tournament with our dog.  Decided to make a Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza on a Zero Net Carb Pizza Crust.

Totally satisfied my pizza craving and it was delicious.

BREAKFAST AT HOME

We had some nice ham slices so I made this breakfast stack.  The combination of flavors was fantastic.  Something about Tomato and Avocado that I really like.

PORK CHOP WITH FINADENE SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

Another WOW dinner prepared by my Wife.  Her marinated Pork Chops with Finadene Sauce is one of my favorite meals.  The flavors of the Pork Chop and Finadene Sauce are amazing and there is just enough heat to spice it up a bit.  This is so good!

SASHIMI WITH AVOCADO AND JALAPENO

APPETIZER AT HOME

Spiced up our Ahi Sashimi appetizer with thinly sliced Jalapeños.  What a great combination with the Avocado and Sashimi.  If you cut the Jalapeño thin enough you get the flavor without overwhelming heat.  Really tastes great!

RIBEYE WITH SAUTEED ONIONS

DINNER AT HOME

Wow...this was hands down one of the best steaks of my life.  The perfect Ribeye cooked perfectly by my Wife.  Served with Sautéed Onions that she cooked in the oil and butter from the steak.  This was like eating candy to me.  Every bite was savored and enjoyed.  At about $13 per plate for food cost, who needs to go to a steakhouse.

LOW CARB STEAK FAJITAS

DINNER AT HOME

Taco Tuesday at Casa de Santos and I cooked us up some delicious Steak Fajitas.  I used a low carb Tortilla Wrap and my gals used regular Tortillas.  I did not mind the low carb wraps because the flavor of the Fajitas, Pico de Gallo and Salsa is what shined through.  These were really good Fajitas.  I marinated the Steak for about two hours prior to cooking on the grill.
