Cast Iron Mortar & Pestle
I found a really great deal on a cast iron stocking-stuffer or small gift…
It is a cast iron mortar and Pestle, they are perfect for grinding herbs and spices or making pastes in the kitchen. I use mine all the time and this one is very reasonably priced at $14.99. If you have Amazon Prime, there is free 2-day shipping for a few more days so it isn’t too late!
Even if you run out of time before the holidays… It is still neat!

Buffalo Pork Chop Strips and Keto Coleslaw
I am finally able to cook after a month convalescing and not cooking or eating well so I jumped back into Keto this week. For the meal after work, I made Buffalo style pork chop strips and some keto-friendly coleslaw. I also made some green beans for anyone who wanted some carbs just to make sure that everyone was happy.

Anthony Bourdain
I was shocked and saddened by the news of Anthony Bourdain’s passing today. He was/is one of my absolute favorite chef’s.
This picture is quite poignant today.
The Smithsonian Institution declared Bourdain “the original rock star” of the culinary world. He was such a fascinating man. He had so many facets, cooking, writing, television, travel, philosophy, addiction and recovery, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Requiescat in pace Chef Bourdain, the world was a better place with you in it and less with you gone.
Keto-Friendly Pulled Pork Tacos with Mexican Chorizo Cauliflower Rice (With Bonus Meal)

So, I decided to make them using crunchy cheese taco shells instead of carb-heavy shells like are traditionally used.
