Instructions
- Peel the onion and chop finely.
- Melt the butter in a pot on medium heat, and sauté until the onions are softened.
- Add the ground beef and fry for a few minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Slice or dice the mushrooms, and add to the ground beef. Sauté for a few minutes more, or until lightly brown.
- Season with thyme, salt and pepper. Crumble the cheese. Add and stir.
- Add sour cream and bring to a light boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Zucchini fettucini
- Estimate one medium-sized zucchini per person.
- Split the zucchini in half lengthwise.
- Scoop the seeds with a spoon and slice the halves very thinly, lengthwise (julienne) with a potato peeler, or use a spiralizer to make zoodles.
- Toss the zucchini in a hot sauce of your choice and serve immediately.
- If you aren’t serving your zucchini with a hot sauce then boil half a gallon (a couple of liters) of salted water in a large pot and parboil the zucchini slices for a minute.
- Drain the water and add olive oil or a knob of butter. Salt and pepper to taste and stir.
Tip!
Switch it up a little! Shredded chicken makes a great substitute for ground beef.

Embrace the bacon, nuts, avocado, coconut butter, olives,...keep the carbs low, get your natural fats high up, and your sugar cravings will go away.
Admit it, girl....you are a sugar addict. Come clean...get the sugar out of your life. Get the sweet taste out of your life. Start to try to enjoy other flavors...like full fat cream in coffee...or just plain herbal tea without anything else.
I'm going to a get together in a couple of days. They're having pizza. Should I just eat the toppings?
Input appreciated.
Yes, the topping should normally be OK...avoid the rest. :)
I used just half tbsp of thyme and Greek yogurt mix with cream instead of sour cream because I didn't have available at home.
No extra salt, the feta cheese has enough for my taste.
