When I thought about a meal to honor all the father's in my life, I knew meat had to be a big part of the menu and the flavors had to be bold and delicious. What better way to celebrate father's than with an awesome BBQ spread?! On the menu for our Father's Day BBQ is: Smoked Pork Butt, Smoked Beef Brisket, Baked Beans and Caramel Apple Cheesecake.   So to my father, my husband, my father-in-law, my step father and all the dad's out there, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY and enjoy this menu.   LORINDA’S TOP TEN TIPS FOR SMOKING MEAT I’ve smoked meat several times.   Each time my meat has been better than the last time and these are my tips for flavorful and succulent smoked meat.

KETO LASAGNA

An easy and super tasty lasagna, enjoy all the taste, without the carbs!  Even my picky sons loved this dish. I’ve tried multiple options for a low carb lasagna.  I’ve tried zucchini noodles.  Yuck!  I’ve tried spaghetti squash, still wasn’t what I was looking for.  Then, I discovered konjac noodles and thought this is it!  Sigh, it wasn’t.  After that, I saw a couple YouTube videos and looked into making some kinda cheese noodle in the oven and bake it and cut into strips.  That was a no for me, too much work.  I’ve already got enough to do.  Then, I thought, maybe a low carb taco or pita shell.  That led to cheese slices, then it hit me, deli meat.  Imagine, choirs singing!  Yes, that was it!  Fast, quick and super easy and super tasty.  My husband and sons didn’t even know I substituted the noodles.
