buffalo, gals

Have some buffalo, gals! And guys.... of course!
It's a red meat that is lower in fat than beef.
Well, that "fact" varies greatly - from brand to brand.

The web site said 9 grams of fat per serving -
The box said 19 grams of fat per serving... 
I called the company - because I am a nerd
curious.  They said the correct answer is 19!

For the ground bison. Not the steak-like cuts.
Those are more like 3 - 5 grams of fat per serving!

19 grams of fat - a little more like lean beef.
I cooked it, and refrigerated it -
skimmed off the excess fat.

Put it in the crock pot with onions and cabbage.
Some beef stock and chicken stock...
Also some red wine. Spices, too!

I got to use my special wood-smoked salt....
Smells like a campfire! omg!

Over-night in a slow cooker -
Just what the Nurse ordered!

In the meanwhile - I had this little flounder
with very little fat. I'm still doing well on the less fat.
But it's still probably a lot more than most of you get!

Couple of grilled 1015 onions on top.

I love the protein smoothies - I have 3 or 4 of them a day!
Low Fat, LoCarb... about 25 g of protein each.
And then one or two  "solid" meals.
Perfect for hot weather... like a shake!
I just re-discovered the joys of ice in a blender..
Today I had one cherry-banana.
One pina-colada. mmmm.
And one coffee-praline-caramel.
All Sugar-Free DaVincy syrups!

I had the ringer off - and missed a call to go to work.
And here I thought they didn't need me.
First time that has ever happened!  grrrr.

Hope your day is great!

  6. Hungry hungry hungry is what this post leaves me. But I already ate today, so I will have to wait a day to eat my cereal and imagine it is bison stew.
