Cream cheese with ground lamb??? That sounds... bizarre. I'd have to

skip the bread, though. And find grass-fed cream cheese, since

conventional dairy aggravates my asthma.

You mix the butter into the peanut butter...?

At any rate, I'm definitely gluten-free as a consequence of eating low-

carb. No grains, no starchy foods whatsoever.

Do you just mix cooked (or raw?) ground lamb with cream cheese? Do

you season it?

Well, I've never had the facilities for drying sausage, so all my

sausage is fresh, and perhaps more to the point, while I can't afford

not to eat the remaining pork I have in my freezer, my present goal is

to lower my total PUFA consumption past 4% as far as is reasonably

possible, so sausage of any kind (unless I find a source of pork

that's not raised on PUFA sources like corn and soy) isn't a viable

option in the long term.

I thought I was the only one that ate that! I coat two pieces of bread

with pats of butter before spreading on PB (or high oleic sunflower

butter). Yummy goodness which has the bonus of the butter preventing PB

from sticking to the roof of my mouth.

I've been making the almond bread in Dr. -McBride's GAPS book:

2 1/2 cups almond flour

3 eggs

1/4 cup butter (or duck fat, chicken fat, beef fat, coconut oil, etc.)

Mix together, spread into a greased (with butter or other fat) bread

pan or mold on a cookie sheet, bake at 300 degrees for one hour.

Add sea salt to your liking before baking (I put in a pinch or two --

and whatever else you want to add (rosemary, cheese, etc.) It tastes

very good -- and it keeps a few days -- you can also freeze it. I eat

it with butter, peanut butter, or chicken liver pate or cheese.

I also love liverwurst on bread with butter and/or cream cheese (I

make the homemade cream cheese out of cow or goat yogurt).

Makes a decent pizza crust, too.

My other favorite lunch lately is leftover roast duck or chicken. I

roast one every weekend. After roasting, I remove some of the fat

(save for later), then deglaze the pan with chicken, beef or duck

stock (which I make from the leftover bones). Just cook it on a low

boil until it reduces by half. Add a little raw butter at the end for

extra flavor. This makes the most delicious gravy.

For lunch leftovers, if you make enough gravy, you can just warm some

of the meat in a pan with some of the leftover gravy. That would keep

warm in a Thermos.

I like it much better than chicken salad made with mayonnaise

(although that is good too). It is very filling, because with the

gravy, you are getting more fat -- and it's easier to digest since the

gravy also contains bone broth.

If you can find good pastured duck, I think it is better than

chicken. Duck is also so easy to roast -- no basting required (as

with chicken). Just stick it in the oven. And you'll get quite a lot

of fat -- 1-2 cups usually.

mentioned ground lamb and cream cheese, but you can take any

kind of ground meat, mix it with any kind of grated cheese, the oil of

your choice, a few spices and you have a quick and energetic meal.

Tastes very good dipped into butter.

A twist on the coconut candies/bars is to add egg yolks. Just make

sure the bar is super stiff from the coconut and mix in the yolk.

Fatty, good protein, and fairly low carb. When I did the Atkins Fat

Flush I had the candies at every meal.

Thin slices of raw beef soaked in oil until ready to consume. Slices

of cheese soaked in oil until ready to consume.

Creamed coconut - milk cream blended with young coconut meat, egg

yolks and a berry fruit. Tasty.

Any meal prepared beforehand, put on a plate, and then sealed in a

food saver bag. Freeze it and then let it thaw while playing tennis.
