Do you even Crock-Pot bro? DFD Cooking Thread

[D Griff]

Been fiddling around with lower carb breakfast options that I can take to work. One can only eat so much yogurt & granola and eggs are off limits. Made some sausage biscuits this weekend. Ended up with a combination of a previous breakfast casserole recipe and a sausage biscuit recipe I found online. I was worried that the egg substitute would negatively impact the flavor but it didn't. That plus almond flour had them hold together pretty well. Not well enough to eat like a biscuit, but they are too greasy for that anyway. They tasted pretty damn good but 3 of them was not enough. Will go with 4 tomorrow.

Cooked the ground breakfast sausage then sauteed the peppers and onions in the grease. Mixed it all in with the egg substitute, almond flour, and a blend of cheeses (including some 3 pepper cheddar jack for some spice). Used a 1/8c measuring cup to scoop out the mixture and baked them on a greased sheet for ~15 mins.

That looks tasty. Those are not biscuits

Lower carb breakfast without eggs is tricky. I do a lot of ham.

You could try baked stuff using whey, check out protein chef on YouTube, I think he has a lot of that stuff.

Negative. is mushroom cappuccino?

Zilch was in Louisville late into the evening so I made a pass at dinner responsibilities.

Mushroom, gruyere, white wine stuffed inside puff pastry.

Simple roasted sweet potatoes and dressed arugula on the side. Finishing off the white wine I used in the stuffing as we speak.

I need knife set suggestions. Nothing too expensive. But our cuisinart stainless knives are about done after two years. Ideally I would like to stay around $100 or less.

Let me know what you foodies suggest.

Chef knives or table knives? Or both?

Easily the best bang for your buck is Victorinox.

Chef knives. We have some awesome tableware.

Obviously, in most cases if you spend more, you get more (up to a point of diminishing returns). However, even lower cost knives can be really good, especially if you get a good honing steel and keep the edges true before use.

I would recommend not buying a "set" and instead buying individual blades as you need them. The sets are usually cheaper material steel and a cheap block at a higher price. Also, they tend to include knives you may never use. Find a knife with ergonomics you like and investigate the steel used. The most important part really will be what steel the blade is made from. Something too soft and it will require a lot of sharpening, and will likely be prone to rusting. One that is too hard will keep it's edge longer, but be a bitch to actually sharpen and likely need to be sent out to have it sharpened by a pro with the correct stones.

I have a very expensive set of knives that I wish I had not purchased. They are good, but I barely use but 3 or 4 of the blades and could have gotten so much more for the money (or much less) by buying the knives I need and not all the extra crap in the ~$1200 kit.
