Keto Meal Prep, Week 3

I'm pretty happy with how things turned out last week, but if I'm honest the sausages were a bit of an underwhelming meal. Nothing wrong with them, just nothing right really. Could be the brand of sausage I was using (it was from Woolworths, so yeah...)

This week I've decided to slightly switch it up. We're bringing back the roasted garlic chicken thighs (yum) and adding a new meal to the mix for dinner: Ketogenic friendly chili.

The chili itself consists of

• 300 grams of Chorizo sausage.
• 2kg of beef
• diced tomatos
• tomato paste
• garlic cloves (crushed)
• about 1 onion
• about 1 green pepper (capsicum)
• chili spices (my personal blend)

When we plate it up to serve after reheating we'll add a small dallop of sour cream and some cheese to melt on top of it. Overall it should weigh in at around 500 calories with garnish and less than 7g of Carbs (we are splitting the above recipe into 12 portions).

Chili... of a sort. 

It may be hard to tell from that picture, but it's mostly meat! It's in a crock pot on my counter right now and I have about 4 more hours to go before I can dish it out.

In other news, I've been keeping track of our grocery bill through these last three weeks and I estimate that once we get past the start-up costs (a lot of containers and kitchen tools), I am spending approximately 15 dollars a day to feed 2 people. Now, depending on where you live that might sound like a lot, but here in Australia... that's not a bad deal at all. Particularly since we aren't purchasing cheap bulk food like macaroni, pasta or rice and with how heavy our diet is in protien and meats.

I mean, really, at $2.50 a meal, we're really saving some money. You can't even buy a decent sausage roll at the servo for that here and we're eating way healthier than that.
