Is there anything better than crispy pork belly? This Asian inspired recipe produces the juiciest, crunchiest pork belly you’ve ever tasted. Don’t believe me? Just watch the video and fast forward to the taste test. You can hear that crunch from a mile away!
Today in the project reboot kitchen, we're making a delicious turkey gravy that you won't believe is keto and gluten free! Gravy gets a bad wrap as an unhealthy addition to most meals, but it turns out the most unhealthy thing about it is the flour that most recipes call for. This introduces unnecessary gluten and carbs and as we show in this video, isn't at all necessary if you want a rich, delicious turkey gravy to go with your amazing Thanksgiving turkey!
On our last adventure together, we showed you how to make the most delicious, the most succulent Thanksgiving turkey ever by cooking it sous vide. And that process left us with a couple of gorgeous scraps that we are going to turn into a world-class turkey stock. This turkey stock is so flavorful, so perfect and so easy - it’s a great fall inspired treat for a cold day.
It’s almost impossible to cook a perfect bird. Most times the white meat comes out dry and almost inedible or if you get the white meat perfect, then the dark meat still has a few hours to go. Now if this has happened to you before, fear not! Because just in time for the holidays we’re bringing you a fool proof recipe that will give you the most glistening and moist white meat you’ve ever tasted while simultaneously ensuring that the dark meat is coked to utter perfection.
Scott takes his parents to the best asian food store they've ever been to: H-Mart. We pick up some ingredients to make some delicious Filipino dishes (kare kare, carne norte and lechon!). Scott's mom schools us on the right way to make kare kare and challenges Scott to a cook off. And Nana and Pops buy Ellie her first bicycle!
Scott walks through a quick and easy keto meal prep recipe - instant pot carnitas! Carnitas are made from pork shoulder (pork butt) and can be seasoned in many different ways. For this recipe, Scott drew inspiration from one of his favorite movies - Chef. He walks through the techniques of how to seal in the best flavor and how to make a delicious mojo marinade. You'll definitely want to give this a try!
Scott shows off his new sous vide setup and cooks some amazing American Wagyu Ribeye and Tri Tip steak. The Searzall is an amazing tool that definitely helps to get an amazing sear on thin cuts of meat without compromising the internal cook. The results are unbelievably delicious. Getting set up for sous vide is a must for anyone on the keto diet!
I take a trip to Whole Foods 365 to pick up some ingredients for Monica's special keto birthday dinner. It's a surf and turf theme complete with a very special keto dessert.
In our latest installment of the KETO 101 series, we discuss the keto flu, what causes it and how to prevent and cure it. The keto flu is a set of flu like symptoms that typically happen towards the end of your first week after starting out on the ketogenic diet. It can be an unpleasant experience, but it's completely preventable and curable. It all comes down to one unexpected culprit: Dehydration.
Scott whips up an amazing surf and turf dinner for Monica's birthday. Grass-fed, grass finished ribeye and filet mignon steaks cooked sous vide served with wild caught sea scallops drenched in a rich lemon garlic cream pan sauce. It was a birthday meal to remember!
If you're just starting out on the keto diet, it can be very overwhelming wrapping your head around how your meals will change in terms of both the food you're consuming and how often you're consuming it. Scott and Monica walk through a full day of eating and make very different nutritional choices while both staying on the ketogenic diet plan. Scott discusses the difference in satiety that calories derived from fat provide which enables him to intermittent fast for long periods without hunger and Monica discusses whether you can have alcohol on keto.
If you've been on the keto diet for any length of time, you're probably already familiar with Matt and Megha over at Keto Connect. Even though we don't know them personally, they're so inspirational to us and have been a huge help to us along our keto journey. They've got some amazing recipes as well as lots of other keto resources that are indispensable to those of us living a low-carb lifestyle.
Even though the keto diet is best done as a whole foods diet, that doesn't mean that there aren't some delicious snack options that will satisfy your cravings and still keep you in ketosis. The Reboot Family takes a trip to Costco and Whole Foods and picks up some new snacks. Monica walks through some of the things we can't live without and pick up every week while we're out shopping.
Today, we’re starting with the basics. We’re going to tackle a couple of the most common questions that people have when they’re just beginning to explore the ketogenic lifestyle. What is keto? How does it work? And what are the benefits of a ketogenic diet?
Today in the project reboot kitchen, Monica takes over the kitchen and whips up the best cheesecake we've ever had. In true project reboot fashion, her version just happens to be low-carb and gluten free, but I'd take this over anything at Cheesecake Factory any day.
