My Continued Efforts to Cook Meat Without Making Myself Sick
LatestWelcome to Better Than It Looks, a series in which we discuss the recipes we tried (and maybe failed) to execute, and the foods that were served to us by someone perhaps more talented than ourselves. This week: two different adventures with meat.
Ok, just to get this out of the way, I don’t really make a habit out of undercooking meat and sickening myself. To be honest, I can’t remember ever actually doing this. That’s largely because I’m so paranoid about making myself sick that I’ll overcook something just to be sure.
This is relevant because this week I bought a ton of brussels sprouts and needed some sort of protein to go with them.
The first attempt was with this recipe for (gluten-free and paleo!) crispy chicken legs and brussels sprouts from So…Let’s Hang Out. After a period of ignoring my doctor and assuming I’d be fine, I’m back to heavily cutting back on my carbohydrates intake to make sure I don’t give myself diabetes. Apparently my body is just very sensitive to carbs and sugar AKA everything that tastes good.
