Another case of “father knows best”. It’s almost been a year dude: get you one! Or let me get you one! Dude, I woulda been an absolute juggernaut if I was your age, knew what you knew, and was just pounding air fryer chicken and meat all day.
The photo doesn’t do this justice, but I still wanted to share it
KETO/PALEO-ESQUE PIZZADILLAS
Pizzadillas were something I got inspired to make from a facebook post. My kid loved them. Simple enough: take a tortilla, make a pizza on it, fold it in on itself and cook it like a quesadilla. It’s like a pizza pocket.
I then took it upon myself to low carb/paleo it up. Using the following resources
Along with some jalapenos and onions.
Wrapped them up in some parchment paper and cooked them in my air fryer at 350 for about 10 minutes. They were delicious! Not bad for “diet food”

I just purchased my first ever rack of lamb yesterday. Costco had them on sale, and I’m currently on a carnivore “meat on the bone” kick. It looks like this.
Question: How big of a sin would it be to air fry this? That’s been my go to cooking method for just about everything these days.
I’m also partial to pressure cooking, and could be convinced to give that a try.
I’m very much “baking averse”, and find ovens to be the work of the devil.
My grills are all electronic these days. I own an electric smoker that I have yet to even crack the instruction manual on, and feel like I should start with something more pedesterian before I try smoking a rack of lamb, but DID want to list it as an option…
But yeah: reaching out to the real deal chefs here.

standard. That’s how I do it.
Cut it into chops, 375 for 5-6 min on one side, 4-5 on the other (my family likes lamb more well done)

Love it! I definitely see myself not wanting it well done at all, haha. Plan is a short spray of avocado oil and more of that greek gyro seasoning, because goddamn is it amazing and I feel like greek actually makes sense with lamb.
My previous experiences with lamb has been that it can get on the dry side. Do you ever run into that? I know mint jelly is big as a result.

no, even well done, the costco lamb chops turn out very tender

I would highly suggest getting some beef back ribs from Costco. They are usually fairly inexpensive but are easier to learn how to smoke because of the fat and bone. They come out amazing but the trick is to search for a pack that has a decent amount of meat. You can wind up with a package that’s more bone than meat. 1st pic is less meat. 2nd is a good balance of meat and fat

Food porn was the right place to post that, because I am a beef rib fanatic and that is downright vulgar! Haha. Thanks for posting that. I’ll definitely give them a go in the smoker.
How long do you smoke them for? Do you go pure dry rub or use a sauce?

It’s been a minute since I’ve done them but I’m pretty sure I used this video as a guide:
Just had to adjust cook time on the fly for the thinnest of the ribs. I’m a big fan of Texas style BBQ so pure dry rub and maybe some sauce at the end if people want it on there (typically don’t invite these people back lol).
There’s a lot of nuance and trust your got with smoking since every energy and smoke source alters the cook. I never found it hard but it can be daunting for some people
I save some of the trimmings (if you have any) and smoke them to make a smoked beef tallow.
I become more a more a fan of you as time goes on, haha. Thanks! And thanks @anna_5588 as well!

This is more like “food snuff film” vs food porn, but I’m proud of the simplicity
With the Mrs away this week, I’m playing around with diet, and wanted to do “carnivore diet lunches”, and with me being obsessed with “high speed/low drag” as well, this is what I came up with.
Of course, it’s “steak and eggs”, because that’ ALWAYS the answer.
But I air fried 2lbs of piedmontese grassfed steak tips with just a spray of avocado oil and some more of that greek gyro seasoning. The eggs there are some really decent pasture raised eggs. The red thing that they’re in is a microwave egg cooker, which yes, in the nature of this thread, that’s a sin, please forgive me.
But this took 8 minutes to make a week’s worth of lunches, and it will take 80 seconds to microwave those eggs at work. Lunch is made.
No, I will NOT microwave the steak. I will eat it cold. IYKYK.
The OTHER thing I wanna discuss though is “Lightyear Sandwiches”, because my kid has dipped into the carnivore side and didn’t realize it.
If you haven’t seen the Lightyear Movie, minor spoilers, but in the future sandwiches are…different.
The meat is on the outside, the bread is in the middle.
Well, the other day at Costco, they had samples of their Havarti cheese
And they wrapped it around some turkey lunchmeat. And my kid thought it was amazing. And getting this kid to eat ANY sort of protein is a challenge.
So I immediately bought the cheese, got the best lunch meat I could find
Take a slice of the cheese, slice it in half, put it around a few slices of lunchmeat and we have “Lightyear sandwiches”. My kid had one with breakfast this morning, which, compared to their typical breakfast of processed cardboard carbohydrates, was a HUGE win.
