Rolls carnivore


 So tasty. Here is the YouTube link that shows how to do: https://youtu.be/1N0E0ip6RIA?si=R9AgmSCPzV5b9L8B

However the way she makes them are not very low carb- about 14 carbs each for the milk powder I used. If you want them about 1 carb use Anthony’ heavy cream powder:


Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 tablespoon of baking powder (I used a grain free one)

1 and 1/2 cups of either dry milk powder or cream powder (or 150 grams it said--that is what I used)

       NOTE: IF YOU WANT LOW CARB USE THE CREAM POWDER! THEN IT IS ABOUT 1 CARB PER ROLL.

Directions (see video for more details and the comment section of the video).

Mix eggs. Sprinkle in the baking powder. Mix well. Sprinkle in the milk powder a bit at a time.

Preheat oven 350 F

Place batter in 6 lumps to make six rolls. on parchment lined sheet. I used a silicone scoop which worked well. The video does it differently--wetting hands and so forth as the batter is sticky.

Bake 13-16 minutes. I did 12 to avoid the over browning on the bottoms she mentions.

Note: some say to flip 1/2 way through which I found too difficult so I didn't do it. I did use an air bake cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Next time I will try the convection . 

In the comments one mentioned air Fryer--set on bake at 325 for 5 mins and flip and cook another 5. This person added 2 tablespoons of melted butter to their batter however.

The video comments are very interesting as some make pizza dough and some cook in an 8 by 8 pan and different ideas.

Ginger cookies keto




 I made 1/2 of this recipe which I found on Pinterest. I used a bit less of allulose. They came out a tad dry as I cooked for 12 minutes and I could have done less. But I was craving something like this 🤣. It hits the spot with a cuppa. The total recipe would make about 16.

2 ounces cream cheese, softened 

1 tablespoon pumpkin puree ( unsweetened and not seasoned)

1 tablespoon allulose sweetener ( can use 2- I like 1)

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice


Topping:

( whipped cream for topping)

Blend cream cheese. Then add the other ingredients but not whipped cream. 

Grease a mug. Pour into mug and microwave 90 seconds ( if you have a lower powered microwave you may need up to 2 minutes). Or bake in 350 oven for 25 minutes.

Place in refrigerator or freezer for 15 minutes then serve with whipped cream if desired.

Chicken waffle sandwich keto





The last 2 photos were after buying a mini waffle maker— much better for chaffles 
Good use for left over chicken! (My only problem was my Waffle maker was more of a Belgium style so it made this pretty thick in the original top 2 photos. Now I have a mini.

1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 egg
1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1/4 cup either Parmesan or Mozzarella

Mix  the above ingredients in food processor, and place in your preheated waffle iron. Cook until done to your liking--my waffle maker is big --it only took a few minutes 3-4?  I cut mine in half to make the sandwich.

I placed lettuce and bacon on mine and topped with a sauce made from Primal Kitchen Mayo that uses Avocado oil, plus adding Bubbies Kosher dill relish, mustard, and paprika (this mixture makes a sauce similar to McDonald's Big Mac)
 

Lemon pound cake keto



 Very nice treat!


Mix wet ingredients:

(Mix cream cheese and butter first and then add eggs and lemon extract):

4 oz cream cheese (softened)
4 tablespoons butter (softened a bit)
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons lemon extract

Add dry ingredients to the above one at a time:

1 & 1/4 cup almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
sprinkle of salt
3 tablespoons allulose powder (sweetener)

Pour in a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan that has either been oiled or lined with parchment paper (I did the paper)

Bake at 350F for 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting if adding frosting.  NOTE: I let mine cool ten minutes before removing the parchment paper , but I lifted it out of the pan first using the paper--

Frosting:

4 ounces cream cheese softened
4 T. butter softened
1-2 tablespoons of allulose or more to taste (or whatever sweetener you use)
2 t. lemon extract

Beat until fluffy.

Noodles carnivore/keto



 

These are very tasty and I should’ve cooked mine a hair less, but I did what the recipe called for. I really like them and you can use them for noodles or for lasagna noodles or for a flatbread. I made mine the size of egg noodles ,wider ---here is the recipe below, and I will give a link to the original



Preheat oven 350 F


Place in food processor:


4 eggs

4 ounces cream cheese

2 tablespoons plain gelatin

1/4 cup pork panko (I used the above Epic Pork rinds--just grinding enough)


Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet (air baking sheet would have been better). Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes (me possible a bit less as mine was fairly brown on the bottom but it still tasted really good!).

Let cool so you can handle it. If making noodles instead of flat bread you can roll and cut it or you could cut it from the flat condition .   


Here is a link that quickly demonstrates the method. The lady has a cookbook coming out soon , also.

https://youtube.com/shorts/kHPIRllmwwg?si=pZAZldu1PUzh0JVM



Great for wraps. After making the way above, I put cooked beef and mozzarella cheese inside of the wrap and baked it in the air fryer on a rack at 400 for five minutes. Nice and crunchy and good.

Cheesecake carnivore or keto



 Very tasty- quick to whip up, but time to bake.

2 large eggs

4 ounces sour cream 

Butter for greasing 

I added: 2 tablespoons of allulose powder and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract— 

Oven only at 300 F and you use a container of boiling water on bottom rack and place cake on middle rack cooking until edges start to get firm . About 45 minutes in 8” springform pan that has been greased.

Then turn off heat leaving everything in the oven with door shut for an hour. 

Then remove and cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Pancakes one ingredient Carnivore!


 So easy and tasty. After cooking these, I sprinkled them with pumpkin pie spice since it’s fall this recipe makes 5 pancakes.

2 eggs  yolks and whites separated

Salt and pumpkin pie spice optional 

Separate egg whites from yolks. Meanwhile heat your pan with a little butter if using cast-iron

Whip egg whites until very stiff— you can turn your bowl upside down and they won’t fall out. 

Next whip your yolks in separate bowl with a little salt if desired.

Slowly fold in your yolks to the whites a little bit at a time using silicone spatula. 

Cook as usual, feeling sides to make sure they are done to your liking. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon or whatever..

Crème brûlée carnivore




 Very rich and creamy


4 egg yolks OR 3 egg yolks and one whole egg (that is what I did)
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla (you can do less--but I like more than the 1/4 teaspoon it called for) or you can omit.


Preheat oven to 325F

With a mixer or blender, blend egg yolks and heavy cream adding vanilla if using. Blend just until combined.

Pour into a medium sized bowl (mine was 7 inches in diameter) or individual ramekins.

Place bowl or ramekins in a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with about an inch of hot water--making a water bath.

Bake for 30-65 minutes until internal temperature reaches 170 F.  Mine took at least the 65 minutes.
However I did not put hot water for the bath, I used cold.  Also if you use smaller individual bowls it reduces the time. It still should be jiggly in the center .

Let it cool at room temperature about an hour. Then refrigerate fro 2-4 hours---this solidifies as it cools so is necessary

PS This would also be good with a bit of allulose sweetner.  Some sprinkle this sweetner on top after the cooking and  cooling and torch the top.

Mac and cheese carnivore

Tasty and a nice change for a carnivore or keto diet. It is hard to stop eating 🤣

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Cheddar cheese 3/4 cup shredded or as much as you want 

2eggs

1 pound ground chicken breast 

Optional pork rind chips

Salt and pepper to taste


Take ground chicken and 2 large eggs blend this in food processor. Place in ziplock bag and put in freezer for ten minutes.

For creamy sauce place inch of water in a pot and place another pot inside this pot ( making a double boiler). Place cream inside top pot. When warm add the cheese in portions stirring to blend. Add salt and pepper.

Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to boil. Take the bag of chicken cut the corner and squeeze chicken mixture in balls the size of gnocchi. Cook for 3 minutes— they will float to top.

Place gnocchi in broiler safe bowl. Add your cheese sauce. You can add more cheese on top. At this point you can place it in the broiler for a few minutes or you can spread crumbled pork rind chips on top with added cheese then broil. Watch carefully or the pork rind chips can burn. 

Here is a link with video https://youtu.be/kix3rR3DNp0


 But do not microwave leftovers!!! It turns the sauce into a liquid-y mess! Probably would work slowly heated on stove top.

Egg cloud rolls carnivore







 So easy just eggs and salt. Takes 15 minutes from start to eating!

3 large eggs separated

Salt— sprinkled into yolk mixture


Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F.

Separate the whites from the yolks.

Beat whites until very stiff so that if you turn the bowl upside down they don't fall out.

Next add salt to your yolks. Beat yolks.

Now gently fold the yolks into the whites using a silicone spatula, or whatever you like using.

Place mounds of this on a parchment lined baking sheet (I used an air bake pan).

Cook ten minutes.

I took them out and ate one, and then let the others cool a bit and sliced one to make a sandwich. Great with pork tenderloin, cheese , and a bit of Primal kitchen mayo (Avacado one). But to keep it carnivore you don't need the mayo--could use sour cream or yogurt or nothing.


Pork tenderloin in air fryer

Love— I  did add rosemary and garlic powder along with the salt. For the oil I used some grease left from some pork belly. Found the recipe below from AI

To cook a pork tenderloin in the air fryer as part of a carnivore diet, focus on a simple preparation using only animal-based ingredients. For the purest carnivore approach, use only pork and salt, or include animal fats and minimal spices for added flavor

. 

Ingredients
  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1–1.5 lbs)
  • 1 tbsp pork lard, tallow, or bacon grease
  • 1–2 tsp high-quality salt (such as Redmond Real Salt or Himalayan salt) 
Equipment
  • Paper towels
  • Air fryer
  • Instant-read meat thermometer
Instructions
  1. Prepare the pork. Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator about 20–30 minutes before cooking. This helps the meat cook more evenly. Pat the entire tenderloin completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Coat and season. Rub the tenderloin with melted pork lard, tallow, or bacon grease. Then, sprinkle the salt evenly over the entire surface, pressing it gently to help it adhere.
  3. Preheat the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Air fry the tenderloin. Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the air fryer basket, ensuring it has space for air to circulate. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes.
  5. Flip and finish. After 10 minutes, flip the tenderloin over to ensure even cooking. Continue cooking for another 8–12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
    • The USDA safe internal temperature for pork is 145°F (63°C) for a medium-rare finish.
    • For medium-well, aim for 160°F (71°C).
  6. Rest the meat. Once cooked, transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board. Cover it with foil and let it rest for at least 5–10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender, moist result. The internal temperature will continue to rise slightly as it rests.
  7. Slice and serve. Slice the tenderloin into medallions and enjoy. You can pour any juices that collected on the cutting board over the sliced meat for extra flavor.

Pizza crust from chicken/ carnivore



 Although this isn’t my favorite pizza crust, I do like it when it’s left over the next day for some reason. It seemed to have less of a chicken like taste to it the next day anyways I wanted to save it. It’s a good way to use up some leftover chicken. Here is the link.  I did add two tablespoons of tomato sauce ( so a keto version 🤣)

Carnivore pancakes!!





 Makes about 6 pancakes. So good!!!  When served with whipping cream they taste like cream puffs!


Found this on Steak and butter gal's youtube. Go there for complete directions: https://youtu.be/zVUHEV3GRdY?si=o1pfnFHg5nhpQjFp


These cooked up fine in my iron skillet with a bit of butter in the pan. You do need a cover. 
Mine cooked faster than hers. Mine were about 5 minutes on one side, and about 3 on the other side.

Here are the ingredients for about 1 serving of 6 pancakes.

3 eggs separated into whites, and yolks
1 tablespoon of unflavored Gelatin
2 and 1/2 tablespoons of collagen (or one packet of the above if you buy packet kind)

Separate your whites/yolks

Beat egg whites slowly while adding the gelatin (I accidentally added the collagen too, it still was fine).

Beat for about 5 minutes until the whites get stiff enough that you can turn the bowl upside down and they don't fall out.

Next add the collagen to your yolks (as long as you didn't do my mistake) beating well.

Then carefully fold the white mixture into the yolk mixture.

IN preheated skillet add a bit of oil of choice--I just used butter. Scoop out between 1/4 to 1/3 cup for each
 pancake. ME: cook 5 minutes COVERED on one side, flip and cook about 3 minutes Covered on the other side.

Serve with whipped cream or whatever.
