(Pronounce Po’ boys – shorten from Poor Boys. It was originally named this for the men who were on strike, who had no money, who originated these sandwiches) This week we both have New Orleans on our minds and in our hearts. I (Mira) went to Tulane University in that amazing city that is full of life and culture and yes… perhaps the most delicious food in the USA. With the rain and flooding that is devastating New Orleans we wanted to share a little taste of that great city in hopes that people will remember to do what they can to help the people living there. This recipe is not our own… or at least it didn’t start out that way. It comes from one of our favorite ketogenic chefs, Maria Emmerich. It appears in her book entitled The Ketogenic Cookbook, which is just filled with fabulous and flavorful options for those choosing the low carb lifestyle. In this book, she highlights our SKINNYFat oil as the best cooking oil, the best source of MCT oil to be used in the kitchen. In this recipe, we are taking the liberty to tweak it a bit to utilize SKINNYFat in the mayonnaise rather than bacon fat, as SKINNYFat will boost the metabolism while reducing the omega-6 greatly. Bacon fat has approximately a 10:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 and using SKINNYfat mayo eliminates nearly all, 98%, of the inflammation-causing omega-6! FYI… if you are in search of super simple and quick recipes she has yet another cookbook that we know you will adore! This one is called Quick and Easy Ketogenic Cooking and it is perfect for those who don’t have too much time to spend in the kitchen.  So, let’s turn up the Cajun music, take an imaginary ride on the streetcar and create some Rich Food approved po’ boys the whole family will love.
