Avocado mash

This is a recipe in the 4 Ingredients Allergy book. The original recipe calls for an avocado, 2 potatoes and olive oil. I substituted the potato with half a sweet potato (the orange kind) and half a kumera potato. I carefully diced the potatoes (all cubes the same size, very important), boiled them until slightly mushy, then added the ripe avocado and dash of oil as I mashed. I was surprised how good it was. Avocado is creamy, so it's almost like adding milk or cream to the mash but with a different flavour.

Bread free hamburger

I wanted to make a low carb version of one of my favourite meals: The hamburger. This is one of my attempts, accompanied by oven baked potatoes (which I unfortunately left in the oven for too long without oil, which meant overly dry though slightly crispy potatoes and a ruined baking pan). The egg and burger pattie were both cooked in the microwave. You could say I was trying to make this low in fat, but really my aim was to reduce the calories by as much as possible (since fat as the highest density of calories).

This is a high fat version I created for my dad and brother while I stayed in Bateman's Bay. The bacon is streaky and has been fried to a crisp on the stove, as has the egg and pattie. The whole thing is covered in wholesome seedy mustard.

Somehow everything tastes better when fried in cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. Maybe I should compromise and have this instead of wasting my time with eating low fat things 3/4 of the time and chocolate 1/4 of time.
