The sun, the clifs and the restaurants, this Algarve comes through us, just like the ocean in full tide, climbing over the sand. It was a very refreshing summer. I have renewed my energy. Family lunches, friends' dinners. Plenty of cooking and all with great affection around me. I have some photos and recipes to share, but many of these moments were so spontaneous that they weren't always captured in a photo. But they will remain in everyone's memories. Always making memories. Always making it happen! I'll be back soon with a lot more to share!

With or without seeds on top these are delicious. Inspired by a recipe by Dr. Berg- Enjoy Eugénia! They go well with cheeses, guacamole and salads and have that crispiness that we all love in a cracker. You can also slice these in small pieces and sprinkle on salads like croutons. you can keep them well in a Tupperware. Here's the recipe. Although it is already late in the day, we cannot cook without music. OK google play Barbara Pravi- I liked the French interpretation at the Eurovision. Ingredients 5 slices of cheddar cheese 1 whole egg 4 tablespoons of almond flour 1 tablespoon of linseed flour (optional) 1 tablespoon of psyllium (optional, but gives structure to the dough) Sesame and Oregano Seeds salt Preparation These salt and water biscuits are prepared in a different way. We are going to use melted cheese as the base of this dough. Start by placing a plate in the microwave with the cheese slices melting (I use 30 second sets to ensure that I don't melt the cheese too much). If the cheese is grated, the five slices are roughly equivalent to a cup of grated cheese. When melted and while still warm, mix well with a whole egg and a pinch of salt. Then add the flour and psyllium until it forms a ball of dough Place the ball of dough between sheets of baking paper Roll out the dough between sheets of parchment paper with the rolling pin Carefully lift one of the sheets of paper and garnish with sesame and pumpkin seeds (I use a mixture of seeds for salad) Place the paper back on top of the flattened dough and roll over the dough and seeds until you get a plate of thin dough, so that in the oven it becomes crispy. only remove the tracing paper from the top, the bottom sheet goes to the oven When you have obtained the desired thickness, make cuts in the dough to define the size of the crackers Place in oven at 180°C until golden brown! Happy tasting! @asdicasdapopi

Almond flour bread toast? And why not?! For those who have frozen almond bread, just take it from the freezer straight to the grill or press. Add cheese to taste and let the heat do its work. With a scrambled egg and some vegetables, which can even be leftovers from the day before, they will serve as food for the rest of the day, if they so wish. I don't always eat breakfast, but I do this breakfast at lunchtime. Still, beware of overusing almond bread as it can impact your insulin levels. Stay tuned to see if your fat burning results change. This is the last in the series of breakfasts that I promised you! Hope it is useful.

Our dear poached eggs, always ready to help, leaping from the fridge to the dinner table. Do you already know those electric egg cookers? Here at home we make so many boiled eggs that the purchase of one was justified. With the advantage of having means to cook the eggs at the desired point, without mistakes. There are several sizes on the market. What I bought for us cooks seven eggs at a time. It's a bless because it turns off by itself when the egg point is reached, there is no risk of going beyond the desired cooking point. With salad and asparagus and a hollandaise sauce, home made, it's a bombastic breakfast or lunch. Protein, fat and minerals. Simpler will be difficult! Here is the Dutch sauce recipe: I use the Thermomix recipe 98% of the time when I make this sauce. However, I've also done it manually, and here I leave the steps. In this "low-carb" protocol, fat consumption is important, to bring satiety and keep ketone bodies high, burning fat. Adding a scoop of this sauce to eggs and veggies is a fantastic help in keeping your fat intake at its optimum. It is a sauce made with butter, egg yolk and lemon juice. This sauce is an emulsion of fat and water, stabilized by egg yolk. OK google play Miles Davis! Ingredients: 3 egg yolks 6 teaspoons of water 3 teaspoons of lemon juice 12 tablespoons of butter of cayenne pepper or black pepper to taste salt to taste Preparation To clarify the butter: Melt the butter and allow the separation between the cream and the water it contains to process. Drain the fat so that only that fat is used in this recipe. We are doing the butter clarification process, so if you have access to clarified butter - Ghee - then you just need to heat it up. Start the bain-marie: this is a sauce made in a bain-marie, so the next step will be to place a pot of boiling water, to make the bain-marie. place the yolks in a bowl that fits over the pan containing the boiling water Make the emulsion: beat the yolks with water and lemon juice, using a wire rod until they are assembled and fluffy, like the result you get when making the base of a cake now we're going to add the butter, always stirring, until we get the emulsion of the desired consistency. The more water we add, the more liquid the sauce becomes, but the goal is to reach a fluffy, mayonnaise-like cream point. @asdicasdapopi I prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the fridge- I use it to season fish for example, as well as my all time favourite eggs benedict.

Yes, mayonnaise for breakfast is another difficult concept to implement. It is outside of that institutional framework that we have. The idea is to add additional fat in the morning so that you change the switch from burning sugar to burning fat. If this is impossible for you to implement (I believe that at this level there are few impossibles, but I leave this part for other conversations) I leave here an alternative: you can alway butter the slice of almond bread or almond flour muffin with which to accompany this delight. and don't forget the greens to go with it. OK Google Play Paris Texas soundtrack Ingredients • 2 eggs • 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise • 1 Avocado Chives Preparation 1. Boil eggs in boiling water. Here I share a guide to cooking time and points: 5–6 minutes for soft stitch 6–8 minutes for midpoint 8-10 minutes for hard stitch 4. shell eggs (if submerged in cold water while shelling is easier) 5. Cut the eggs into cubes, mix with the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper and garnish with chives!

Homesickness for Vancouver hits often. It was where we got to know a wide variety (and quality) of oriental dishes. Here at home, many of these dishes are replicated and often from these inspirations we create other dishes. have a go at this oriental-inspired creation of mine, but so KETO-friendly!

Summer arrives and our schedule is always full. Isn't that great?! Off course it is! Nevertheless, we do not want to neglect our focus on eating well. Without refined foods, without sugar and with healthy fats. The exquisite wild salmon we had while we lived in Canada is always in our minds. That memory inspires this recipe. Between walks and trips to the beach, I like to turn on the oven and have lunch ready in 20-25 minutes. No rice, no pasta, no potatoes. When the oven beeps, the kitchen is tidy and has no pots to wash. So it is practical and convenient. Have a look at this oven roasted salmon. In the same oven tray you can add the vegetables that you like the most... In fact, I just open the fridge and put together what I had here at home. Seasoned with Provencal herbs, turmeric and olive oil. As we seek to increase the consumption of healthy fats, I also added whole cream, which makes this dish incredibly rich A meal full of good things and easy for the whole family to enjoy. Ok google play Fiona Apple Ingredients sliced salmon peppers Broccoli mushrooms lemon juice salt chili Oil fresh cream bone consommé Preparation Season the salmon with lemon juice (if possible 2 hours before) Cut all vegetables into thin strips of similar thickness so that the cooking time of the food is similar Place everything on the oven tray and garnish with raw vegetables, including the broccoli prepared in small florets. Sprinkle with cream and oil to taste (or with two scoops of bone broth) Seasoning with fine herbs, salt and pepper Place it in the oven at 180º and let the magic of caramelization happen @asdicasdapopi Pay attention to the cooking time in the oven, so that the salmon does not overcook. Enjoy!

Isn't it true that mothers are always right? So it is! Even in ketogenic choices, where organ consumption is important. (Dr. Berg explains: https://youtu.be/1ZmXKYL240E) Another unusual meal, by today's standards, and one that has fallen into disuse. The stewed beef heart steaks. My mother prepared this delicacy for us very rarely. As rarely as she cooked us liver. But he insisted on maybe once a month preparing these treats. She prepared a slow cooked exquisite tomato and onion sauce like no one else. Then she prepared a mash potato to go with this sauce, and thus created eternal memories. Here I recreate this delicacy in a "Keto" version. The mash?! It's cauliflower my friends! And so it did deliver! My kids never tried it before and despite noticing that it has more of a rubbery consistency, they liked it and it was our dinner yesterday. Here is the recipe! OK google play The Church. Ingredients Meat 500g of heart steak 1 large onion 1 large tomato or half a can of tomato (no sugar) OLive Oil Paprika Red pepper Cauliflower Mash 1 cauliflower 1 tablespoon of butter 1 clove of garlic 1 cup of chives 1 cup of milk (optional) 1 egg yolk 1/2 teaspoon of psyllium fiber (thickener. Optional) Preparation Meat cut the onion, half thinly sliced and half chopped sauté with olive oil and add the tomato when the onion is translucent add the meat and saute Add a cup of bone broth or beef stock (I'd say add white wine before, but now I don't. I've learned to rather use bone broth ) Close and boil for 40 minutes I use the pressure cooker and I think that's the only way to achieve the perfect texture with this cut of meat. @asdicasdapopi You can make this same recipe with other meats, including beef steak. Enjoy your food!

So isn't it that they sent me a recipe for a really good dessert? Nutritionist Elis Sanczkoski's brownie. My variation was the topping cream made with cream cheese and cocoa powder. DELIGHTFUL! I tested and tasted it and it was INCREDIBLE! Of course I had to share it. OK google play: "the Cranberries" Note that these treats that I share, are not to be enjoyed on a daily basis. On special occasions, use these keto desserts so that you have a recipe that impacts you less, but still, let us not forget that it does impact you. Eating this dessert every single day will have a negative impact on your goals. Want a mega tip for binge control? Make a small amount at a time and offer it to the family so that it runs out quickly. If it eventually remains, they can freeze and forget it exists. Ingredients for Elis' Brownie 3 eggs 200g of 85% chocolate bar 1c. cocoa powder 1 cup of almond flour 100 g of butter or coconut oil 2c. sweetener soup Vanilla essence to taste 1 teaspoon of yeast coarsely chopped walnuts Preparation Start by melting the chocolate in the microwave When everything is melted, add the butter and combine the remainder of the ingredients. Beat the eggs with the sweetener and cocoa powder and add the chocolate and butter Finally add the baking powder and walnuts to taste Line a rectangular pan with baking paper and spread with butter bake at 180º for about 15-20 minutes @asdicasdapopi You can choose the cooking point, dependent on what you're craving.

Cover and leave in cold until ideal thickness Spread the brownie when serving the challenge is to eat only one square! :-)

Another one of those ingredients that one doesn't eat that often- Beef liver or pork. I prefer lamb's liver, but that's a personal preference. And the ex-libris is kid liver! I went back to consuming it about once or twice a week, because this protocol, that makes me feel at my absolute best, recommends it. And I can clearly feel it! The secret to like liver it is not only related to the marinade but also to the way in which it is cut and the cooking time. I'll explain everything... Anyone who lived in Coimbra (my birthplace) will remember the Avis café/restaurant. I ate there with my parents a few times. They served a sauteed kidney with mushrooms that was delicious. This dish is inspired on the one from Avis. In the photo above you can see the stir-fried liver with mushrooms. And if you accompany them with avocado, you'll understand what I'm talking about when I say that sometimes I surprise myself. When I dedicate myself to combining flavors and creating new recipes, I manage to exceed my own expectations. Serious! No bragging! This is what culinary creation is all about! Try this one and let me know your thoughts! OK google play Claire! Ingredients 1 kg of sliced ​​liver and cubes 200gr of mushrooms Garlic cider vinegar salt Oil lard Bay Leaf Pepper piri piri chili Preparation Marinate the liver, at least two hours before cooking. Sometimes I leave it in the fridge overnight. For the marinade: A cup of apple cider vinegar two tablespoons of olive oil three to five cloves of garlic a bay leaf salt Place the liver, cut into small pieces, like rojão, in this marinade and let it rest. WITHOUT SALT. For frying: I prefer to cook the liver in lard, as I am lucky to have homemade lard, made from black pork, directly from the Alentejo to here. With olive oil, it will be very good too. They already know that NEVER use seed oil which is usually called vegetable oil. Very inflammatory and almost always not cold pressed, which makes them even toxic! Put a tablespoon of lard in a hot frying pan and start by sautéing only the liver, drained from the marinade that we don't discard, but reserve. Season now with salt, or salt flower. The cooking time of the liver is of utmost importance. If it's too long, it'll be stiff and elastic. Therefore, two to three minutes over a very strong heat is usually sufficient. Add piri piri and pepper to taste. Rectify the salt. Remove liver and set aside. In the fat from having fried the liver, let's add the sliced ​​mushrooms. Sauté for two to three minutes over strong heat. Add pepper and salt to taste. Withdraw and reserve. Finally, add the reserved marinade to the same skillet and bring to a boil. Return the mushrooms and liver to the skillet and sauté for a minute or two over a high heat. DELICIOUS! (I'm already salivating) PS: yesterday I made some coconut and chocolate bombs all Keto! And they had no-visible-impact on my protocol! I will share it soon!

On those days that we require our dose of protein, I make this meal. Ok google play Koop! Egg roll with minced meat. It's very simple and if you already have my recipe for minced meat sautéed with cabbage, then there's nothing to it. As a rule, I always have minced meat ready to use. Very practical for lunch boxes... so you only need to beat two eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a non-stick skillet, greased with good fat over low heat. Let the egg cook slowly so that it becomes moist and resembles a pancake. Turn side as soon as possible and, if necessary, with the help of a plate. Place the egg tortilla on a plate and fill with meat to taste. Roll up and cut! Who said Keto was complicated? Compliments to the chef!
