Waffles mini keto

Delicious and easy— mini waffles— made 3 in mine. Nice snack or breakfast.

1 egg

1 tablespoon full fat yogurt or sour cream

1 tablespoon almond flour 

Pinch baking powder 

Mix and cook as usual

 

Chicken waffle sandwich keto

Good use for left over chicken! My only problem is my Waffle maker is more of a Belgium style so it makes this pretty thick. I need a smaller one! 

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.

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.

Ingredients 

16 ounces cream cheese (full fat) softened 

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. 

Here is the original recipe https://www.lowcarbsosimple.com/carnivore-cheesecake-in-the-oven/#mv-creation-212-jtr

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..

Directions:

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.

 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

Great served on egg cloud rolls --recipe found here: https://nannykimsrecipes.blogspot.com/2025/10/egg-cloud-rolls-carnivore.html

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.

Salmon in creamy sauce

 Poached in half and half on top of stove covered. Took 5 minutes after the liquid started to simmer. Very good.

I spooned the cream over the top a few times.

Temperature when done around 145F

Chicken wings air fryer

Pat wings dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, white pepper.

lamb air fry bone in chops

 Tasty. I sprinkled rosemary, garlic and salt before cooking. I used the thermometer to test each piece while cooking. I did not rub mine with oil. Just dried them then seasoned them.

Google directions I used :

air fry bone-in lamb loin chops, 

preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through. The exact cooking time depends on the chops' thickness and your desired doneness. Using an instant-read meat thermometer is the most reliable way to check the internal temperature. 

Air fryer instructions

1. Prepare the lamb chops. Remove the chops from their packaging and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps the chops achieve a good sear.
2. Season the meat. Rub the lamb chops with olive oil and your preferred seasonings. Popular options include kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh or dried rosemary and thyme.
3. Marinate (optional). For enhanced flavor, you can marinate the chops at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator for up to a few hours.
4. Preheat the air fryer. Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange the chops. Place the lamb loin chops in the air fryer basket in a single, even layer. Do not overcrowd the basket, as air needs to circulate for proper cooking.
6. Cook. Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping the chops once halfway through the cooking time.
7. Check for doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature by inserting it into the thickest part of the meat without touching the bone.
   • Medium-rare: 125–135°F (52–57°C)
   • Medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C)
   • Medium-well to well-done:145°F (63°C) and higher
8. Rest the meat. Once the chops reach your desired temperature, transfer them to a plate and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender and juicy result.

waffle keto quick

Quick easy!! Makes 1 waffle— just 2 ingredients 

1 heaping tablespoon of peanut butter

1 egg

Mix well and cook. I had unsalted peanut butter so it did need some salt.
 

Carrot mug cake

Note: it really needs more sweetener than I give it— I am trying to cut back on my sweet tooth . I actually like this with just 2 tablespoons of coconut flor no almond flour.

Ingredients 

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon almond flour ( or coconut flour)

1 tablespoon coconut flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder 

3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice( or close to 1 teaspoon is nice)

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla 

1/2 -1 teaspoon allulose powder ( or more depending on desire) or sweetener of your choice- more would be better.Better with 1 tablespoon of allulose!

2-3 tablespoons 1/2 and 1/2 (or milk of choice)

1 tablespoon grated carrots 

( ( for topping afterwords cream cheese and coconut flakes or whipped cream)

Melt butter in mug. Then mix rest of cake ingredients folding in carrots last. Microwave 50-60 minutes ( carefully checking until desired doneness).mine was better at 69 minutes 

Top with whatever- sour cream mixed with vanilla makes a nice topping.

Note: raisins would be a nice addition 
 

Zucchini hamburger casserole

 

Found this easy casserole at the following link;

https://deliceflash.com/cheesy-beef-zucchini-casserole/

But I only had cheddar so I just used about 100grams . I used a can of fire roasted tomatoes, 1 pound of hamburger, 1 large onion, some garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, one good sized zucchini.

I cooked onion and meat and garlic in the iron skillet- 5-8 minutes. Added tomatoes and diced zucchini and seasoning. Cooked another 5 or until squash started getting tender.

Sprinkled cheese on top and transferred the skillet to the oven cooking 30 minutes at 375

Note: Would be good served over mashed cauliflower 

Cottage cheese pumpkin breakfast

 Used this spice from target plus some cinnamon 

Nice fall dish for Breakfast or whatever

What I used:

1 cup of Nancy's probiotic cottage cheese (organic 4 Percent from whole foods)

1 egg

3 tablespoons unsweetened pumpkin puree

*pumpkin pie spice (I just put about 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon, I think) and I added some cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon vanilla

(me-no sweetener--but you could add some)

* some like 1-2 teaspoons of the pumpkin pie spice--I used less but added cinnamon. Then I sprinkled more pumpkin pie spice after cooking.

Blend ingredients well in food processor. Pour in dish (I didn't grease) My dish was the 6 inch round one and some people use a smaller size. My oven seems to cook slower than a lot of folks. Many people cook theirs 20 minutes , but mine needed longer.

Bake in 350 F for 20-30 minutes depending on the size of your dish. You want the center a bit jiggly so it doesn't come out dry. 

Mine came out very creamy--but the brand of cottage cheese makes a difference. You can serve warm or refrigerate first.

When serving you can top with added spices, and/or yogurt or whipped cream if desired.

PS You can google and find variations.
