Well my bad cholesterol is way too high. It’s my own fault, genetically I am predisposed and have enjoyed way too much bacon and burgers while doing low carb. I’m working on more salads and less fatty meats.

I haven’t been diligent since I moved here a year ago, and I am feeling the weight gain.

Well it's not exactly a recipe, but it's cooking for me – a doctored up Adkins Stone Fired 3 Meat Pizza with added ground beef, ground chicken, spices, extra cheese and a small enough portion of sweet chili sauce to give it some kick while still keeping it low carb.

Ground beef cooked in my new electric skillet with dried onions, mushrooms, a few tomatoes, and some green beans. Served with a dollop of sour cream. May not sound great, but it's low carb and not too bad.

Had this tonight and it was very good. I used raw frozen shrimp (thawed them overnight and they were already deveined) with tails on.

There’s a video at the website that’s worth viewing.

I had it with spaghetti but you can replace spag with riced or mashed cauliflower, unseasoned stir-fried veggies, zoodles.

INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp. butter, divided
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, thinly sliced, plus juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
2 tbsp. dry white wine (or water)
Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil.

Add shrimp, lemon slices, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes, and season with salt.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is pink and opaque, about 3 minutes per side.

Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter, lemon juice, and white wine.

Season with salt and garnish with parsley before serving.

=======================

From the website:

What kind of shrimp should I buy?

We recommend using medium shrimp for this recipe. You should also buy the shrimp peeled and deveined if you can, too. It helps ensure that the dinner process is as quick and easy as possible.

How long do I cook the shrimp?

Shrimp cooks super quickly! It only needs a few minutes. Once it turns pink and opaque, it's ready to eat. If you cook it for too long, it'll become rubbery.

How hot should the skillet be?

For this recipe, we're not looking for a char. A large skillet over medium heat is the way to go. If you're not able to fit the shrimp in a single layer in your skillet, work in batches to make sure everything cooks evenly.

Do I need to use wine?

If you have a leftover bottle of Chardonnay in your fridge, this is the perfect way to use it up. If you don't have any around, use water or chicken broth instead. Or buy a cheap bottle and use lemon garlic shrimp as your excuse to drink.

Is it spicy?

There's a little kick from the red pepper flakes, but it's a spice level that most people can handle. If you prefer everything super-milk, just season it with salt and pepper instead.

This came out very good and it didn't affect my weight loss as long as I ate the proper serving.

I didn't put enough sweetener in it (the recipe gave measurements for a concentrated sweetener when my sweetener was regular strength), but that was my bad.

Here's a youtube video showing how to make the cheesecake.

To make the recipe, you will need a small springform pan or push-up pan that fits in your pressure cooker.

For tips, visit Jill at This Old Gal. She gives some great tips for baking a cheesecake in the Instant Pot here (be sure to read Jill's tips).

This pressure cooker low carb keto chocolate cheesecake was adapted from one on Southern Living.

The recipe for the cake made in the video is here.

I used Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol Granular (1:1 Sugar Substitute, Keto - 0 Calorie, 0 Net Carb, Non-GMO). I like it very much.

Enjoy!
