(Don’t miss the health update below!) 🥩 🍗 🥓 🥬 🍓 🥩 🍗 🥓 🥑 🥒 🥓 🍗 🥩 🍠 🧄 🥓 🍗 🥩 One of my favorite video content creators says, at the start of each of her videos, that she eats an “animal-based keto diet”. Yeah. It isn’t the terminology that matters; it …

Are You Screaming for Ice Cream?

Today is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day, and there is no reason that we low-carbers and keto-eaters should be left out, right? By definition, a hot fudge sundae consists of 4 elements (depending on who you ask): ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry on top! For an occasional treat or celebration – …

RECIPE: Inside-Out Breakfast Sandwich Casserole

This delight formed a layer of biscuit-like bready goodness inside when it baked! I was surprised and thrilled…and it was even better the next day! This is what I did, and am looking forward to making it again this week! I was surprised at the “biscuit” inside, and am thinking that the combination of bacon …

VIDEO: Roasting Pork with Garden Herbs

After mere seconds of watching, you will already know this…but I am not a videographer. I just used my phone and did the best I could BUT the resulting “roast” turned out FANTASTIC! So I’m glad I recorded it, so I could share the process with you!

SNACK TIME!

These recipes are all low carb at the very least, keto for sure, and many are suitable for carnivore if you use seasonings. I worked hard to break my snacking habit, especially in the evenings. But as I find my 2 meals getting further and further apart on busy days I often need just a …

Changes Coming Again!

I am a huge advocate of listening to my body and knowing its signals. Every year this seems to happen: though I love my meat-based diet, when spring comes I start craving the bounty of beautiful vegetables and leafy greens and fresh herbs and, occasionally, a little fruit. Through the winter I crave animal-based, and …

Recipe: Courtney Luna’s Carnivore-Keto Dinner Roll

I decided to try this today, but instead made a mini-loaf in my 3×5 glass loaf pan. I doubled the recipe that is linked here and, of course, I didn’t make it exactly as she created it: I added about a tsp of sour cream with about ½ tsp of baking powder. It turned out …

Quick Chicken Wraps

I came home HUNGRY and wanted something NOW! This was my answer. And definitely will be the answer in the future! I like to keep chicken or turkey deli meat when I can find a clean brand, and use them for “noodles” or layers or wraps or other things. This time I wrapped a couple …

KETO: Sunday is PIZZA Day!

At least, when Pete and I are home on Sunday we have pizza; most Sundays we pick our grandkids up, take them to church, then out to lunch, and I don’t eat again once we come home. But today we’re home, and I’m really loving this pizza. I always try a little bit different type …

Some Things Just Hit The Spot!

Though I eat a predominantly animal-based diet, I do enjoy a couple of keto days each week (and even an occasional “day off”). The last few days I’ve been wanting cabbage so today I picked up a package of cole slaw mix as I was in no shape to do all the work of dealing …

Cooking: Animal-Based Snickerdoodlers

I recently bought a whole pork belly with the skin on, and cut it into approx. 1# squares. To prepare them, I roast one in the AFO, wrapped in parchment and then foil, skin-side-up, at 325°F, until done. (This depends on the side of the square, the thickness, etc.) I then separate the skin from …
