Evan's Plate...A Simple Sunday

Today has been one of those Sunday's where I just didn't feel like making anything complicated for any meal.  Rather, the sunshine and blue sky were calling us outside to play.  SO... Evan's meals have been a bit boring by most standards.  But...wanna know the funny thing???  HE doesn't think so!!  When I told him what I made him for dinner...he pumped his fist and said "YES!!!"

His breakfast:
1 egg omelet-style filled with some cream cheese.  SO quick and easy!!  

Of course such a meal doesn't fill a kid for long...so he had a snack of 10 almonds followed by 10 pistachios and a 0g carb cheese stick.

His lunch:
Keto-Nachos - basically nachos, but with MAD friendly ingredients.  I admit...perhaps I was wanting nachos and an excuse to eat them for a meal.  For Evan, I used pork rinds instead of chips, then we build on from there.  Co-jack cheese, 0g carb pork sausage mixed with ground beef (80/20 for the fat for my little man), topped with some diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream (full fat baby!!) and a bit of salsa.

His dinner:
1 egg omelet-style filled with some cream cheese (ringing a bell??) and pork sausage, a side salad and some dipping veggies with a Ranch dressing I just can't get enough of!  AND...some fluff for desert.

BUT...back to the Ranch Dressing!!!  This ranch is AWESOME!!  Most of the ingredients for the dry mix many of us have in our pantry...and, once you have that, it is a SNAP to mix up a batch of this herby, creamy, deliciousness!  I found the recipe on Pinterest.  Yes, My name is Andrea, and I'm a Pinterest addict.  ("Hi Andrea!").  I cannot claim any stake in this recipe...I just make it, and love it, and make some more, and love it some more.

**NOTE:  When the ranch herb mix is mixed with the mayo & sour cream, there will be a carb count due to the sour cream, so be sure to take that into account.

ALSO...the recipe includes a "make your own mayo" recipe that uses honey.  I opt for the easy route and just use store-bought mayo, but if you want to give making your own mayo a try...be sure to replace the honey with stevia as there is a ton of sugar/carbs in honey.

To give credit where credit is definitely due, here is the link to the brilliant person who developed this amazing gift of ranch-y flavor:
