Late to the thread here.
Katie and I began cooking heavily at home at the beginning fo the year. We have both lost substantial weight and are continuing to do so. Years of prednisone post transplant and I was creeping into diabetic range regarding my blood sugar. Recent tests show I am reversing that trend between diet, weight loss, and a medication that helps with blood sugar. Early signs are very promising but this is a lifestyle change, so there's no going back. I am eating low carb, but not no carb. High fiber, high protein, and lots of veggies.
I really got into cooking after my divorce in 2016 and being a little bit of a geek, decked out with high tech food equipment.
We now have a sous vide, an instant pot with air fryer attachment, an indoor grill/air fryer, a George Forman Grill, and of course the normal stovetop and oven, microwave, but also a convection oven/broiler/toaster.
The other night I made Honey Dijon Pork Chops in the instant pot along with some broccoli and cauliflower rice. We cheated with the cauliflower rice and got a steam bag.
