Lemon Chicken with Lemon Risotto

The lemon Chicken part of this dish recipe is one of Ina Garten's. However she used skin-on boneless Chicken breasts in her recipe (baked them skin side up). I substituted boneless and skinless breasts as my wife does not like the skin

Beef Jerky

I like to make my own beef jerky and experiment with various flavor combinations.  Hands down the favorite flavor thus far is my “Sweet & Salty”

Many of these recipes I came up with while on a PSMF diet and thus the reason for the artificial sweeteners. You could of course use real sugars instead.

The beef I like to use cane be found at your larger Mexican Food markets.  It is called Beef Cecina which generally is a thin cut from the eye of round.  Foudn this description on line describing how to obtain this cut.


 

– Trim the top, bottom, and ends off the meat so you are left with a cube shape.
– You will need a very sharp knife for this. Lay the meat with the grain running crosswise in front of you.
– Slice at one end, parallel to the cutting board and about ? inch below the top.
– Stop 1/8 inch before you reach the end. Do not cut right through.
– Turn the meat 180 degrees, open the meat at the “flap” and cut again, 1/8 inch under the first cut.
– Repeat this, opening the meat out each time, until you end up with one long, concertina-like, 1/8 inch thick piece of meat.”

Avocado & Greek Yogurt Dressing

Saw a version of this and thought we would try it.  The original was a little bland for my taste.  Modified it by increasing the amount of lemon juice for more acid, more hot sauce because why the hell not and adding black pepper.
