Butternut soup flavored with turmeric, ginger, and Kashmiri chili topped with bacon and fennel fronds. I added cream and a 16 oz ball jar of homemade lamb broth in the Vitamix after roasting the whole butternut in the oven at 375F for an hour.
Quick Freedomnomnom post: Cauliflower fried rice! Great quick weekday meal.
You need: leftover meat (I used steak), packet of frozen cauli-rice, 2 eggs, some veg (I used shallot, leek, fennel, minced garlic/ginger & jalapeño), coconut fat, tamari, and a wok.
Heat oil in wok & add veg, starting w/minced garlic & ginger, stirring occasionally until lightly brown. In small bowl, whisk together eggs w/fork. Add cauli-rice to wok & stir 2 mins. Add eggs & scramble mix for 1-2 mins. Lastly add meat and stir. Add splash of tamari, season with salt & pepper, make sure everything is heated through, i.e. taste test, and serve. Enjoy!
Grease a regular microwave safe coffee mug. I used avo spray. Break and lightly beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add all the ingredients in to the mug and mix until smooth. Put in microwave on high for 3 minutes. Remove and tip mug upside down. Should slide right out! Serve with butter while still hot.

Basically, this is a curried minced beef dish with apple and dates topped with an egg custard. You are welcome.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Heat lard in cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sautee onions and garlic, add and brown the ground beef breaking into small crumbles. Remove some of the grease, if necessary. Add the apple and dates. Stir. Add the spices and cook until meat is cooked and dish is fragrant. Remove from the heat. Cover in loose tinfoil and place in oven. Cook for 30 minutes at 350F. A few minutes before the dish is ready, mix the cream and 5 eggs, season with salt and pepper, and beat until frothy. Remove meat from oven, pour over the eggs, add the bay leaves, and return to oven. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until the egg custard on top is cooked through. I serve this with toasted coconut flakes, Mrs. Balls chutney, and sometimes, if I'm cheating, sliced fresh bananas with mayo/yogurt mix with parsley. Traditionally, bobotie is also served with "borrie rys" which is turmeric infused rice. I find it doesn't need the carbs to be a freedomnomnom bomb!

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. In a cast iron skillet heat fat (e.g. bacon, lard, avo oil) over a medium heat (3-4). Chop the shallot and deseed and chop the jalapeño. Add to the skillet and allow to brown. Chop the fennel bulb, removing any hard outer parts. Add to pan and stir. When browned, add the pork. Brown the meat over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Add spices to taste. I used cumin, dark chili, chipotle chili, smoked paprika. I also added a dash of Worcestershire sauce after the second tasting. While the meat is finalizing, cut the tops off the yellow peppers and deseed the insides. Get your tinfoil ready. Scoop the meat filling into the peppers, put the lids back on and wrap in foil. I put mine in a bread pan, but you can use a sheet pan. Into the oven on 375F for one hour. Remove from oven, open foil--be careful, it's hot!--and serve with trimmings like sour cream, or yogurt, or just like that, and I added some fennel fronds for color and a burst of taste!

Made with caulimash and local Bardo beef and grass-fed lamb, this easy Shepherd’s Pie is a staple in my rustic keto kitchen.
Pre-heat oven to 375F. Heat fat or lard in a skillet over medium heat (3-4) on the stove. Add and brown shallots and garlic. Add beef and lamb and brown, mixing occasionally. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. After meat is almost cooked, around 7 minutes, add several dabs of Worcestershire sauce and let it cook off for a few minutes before adding the rough chopped carrots. Add the cup of frozen peas. While the meat is browning, prepare the caulimash by microwaving a head of cauliflower (about 5-7 minutes on high). In a food processor, blend the al dente cauliflower with butter (1 tbs), cream cheese, dash of cream, seasoning, and a teaspoon of mustard. Blend until smooth. Mix the meat, carrots, and peas together, distributing evenly in the skillet. Top with caulimash, starting from the middle, spreading across evenly. Add two handfuls of cheddar cheese on top. Place in pre-heated oven for 20-30 minutes until heated through, and browned on top. Serve in bowls.

Think I accidentally said oven was on 375F, but it’s low and slow on 325F; and I called my Big Sister, Lizette, my “little sister,” oops. 😛
I will comb my hair next time, LOL.

Bring meat to room temperature. Season liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat fat over medium-high heat (4). I used saved beef fat and some lamb lard. Brown meat on both sides, set aside. In same pot, scrape off browned bits and add vegetables, cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add meat back into pot, add beef stock, and some boiling water if necessary to get liquid close to covering the meat. Bring to simmer and then remove, put on lid firmly, and place in oven at 325F for 2 hours. After 2 hours, add the quartered sweet potatoes and cook for another hour. I added 2 bay leaves for the last hour as well. Serve in bowls. For #paleo, #keto eaters, this dish can be served on caulimash, sautéd kale, or other non-carb substitutes like zoodles. I just ate it as is. #Freedomnomnom!

Welcome to Freedomnomnom!
I’ve been wanting to start a cooking show for yonks, and, in keeping with my Carpe Diem life philosophy, decided, there’s no time like the present! So this past Sunday, I set up the camera (the wrong way), forgot to put on makeup (the wrong thing), didn’t have a clear plan (wrong again) and then just WENT. FOR. IT. And know what? It came out A-OK, all things considered, and, as always, a learning experience that allows for improvement.
On the menu 04/02/21: Medium-rare grass fed steak, cinnamon-ginger sweet potato slices, and a foraged fiddlehead and garlic mustard pesto with toasted pine- and walnuts.
Wash the locally foraged greens. Blanch and shock the fiddleheads. <---DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Whirl in the food processor with toasted walnuts and pine nuts, slowly drizzling in 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil. I added extra fried garlic. Season liberally with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Squeeze some lemon on top. Stir and keep at room temperature until the rest of the meal comes together.
