THE BEST 5-minute Chef "sandwich"!!!!!

Using my "wrap" recipe I mixed up some egg white, grated romano cheese (the same consistency as green can parmesan), and a spoonful of beef gelatin and poured it in the 5MC. It started cooking right away as I was spreading some shredded mozzarella over it, then some roasted/ground/leftover pork "salad" with mayo and seasonings, then more mozz, and topped it off with the "wrap" mixture. When the bottom was browned I flipped the unit for a few minutes on the other side. WOW...it was CRAZY GOOD and I would have made another one if I hadn't already put my ingredients away. I'm ready for more but already 6 hours into my (daily) fast and don't want to start over again! But WOW this was great!

@rachelw @KetoPlus I hope these rolls will work for you! They have way less than 13g at least :). And they look pretty easy to make too!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus oh MY they look so good. I thought I'd found some commercial bread that I could have. It said cabs 13g, sugars was 0.5, but it kicked me out of ketosis fast!! Waaaaa

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus @rachelw oooooooo thank you for sharing this!!!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus This is a great post! I love your tip at the bottom about the beef gelatin powder! I never would have thought of that! Your site is really looking awesome.

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus Let me know how yours comes out. I want to make my own butter mayo soon. I have seen some awesome butter mayo recipes.

@fressgestoert @KetoPlus SWEEEET!!!! Amazing!

Today's measurement with the Ketonix. Everything great :)

#Keto @KetoPlus

@KetoPlus
I'm thinking of taking the dive and making my own mayo...a carnivore version. I have duck fat, and know people use pork fat, so that might work...hmmm...I'll think about it a while longer...

@KetoPlus
I'm not here to promote my website (as I've already proven, I think) BUT I put up a post today that you may find interesting about "carnivorish" recipes...

(Are any KetoPlus folks on Pinterest, BTW?)

@rachelw

Found what looks to be a good recipe for rolls without psyllium husk, Rachel! Looks like they might have taken some inspiration from the fathead dough but it isn't the same... I have all the ingredients and am anxious to try them, will advise when I do - and hope you'll do the same if you get there first :).

@cactusketo You're making my mouth water - YUM!

@KetoPlus

@cactusketo Thanks! Listing my daily food intake is a popular page [https://chia.owly.net/meals-recipes-from-what-i-eat-in-a-day/], it gets a lot of hits. I have noticed, over time, how I've been trending more and more toward animal-based too, which I wouldn't have really paid much attention to without it! As I've gotten busier, though I have kind of (purposely) let go of the indexing and other details that I kept when my site was smaller and less busy...anything interesting I put on the Keto+ page instead. Anyway, thanks for mentioning it, and for visiting!

@KetoPlus

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus mmmm this sounds so good.

@KetoPlus

Maybe I'll have time today...they sound delightful and I have a bunch of havarti to use up here! Also want to try it for "wraps" like provolone (melt it and fold it over something, making pockets), if the little holes will close when it melts would be the biggest thing...just some thoughts I had!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus Awe thanks! And I would share with you guys too! Nice you have leftovers for next Sunday!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus when I first started keto a recipe mentioned a little yeast and I freaked out then I found out not really a thing to worry about.

@cactusketo @KetoPlus That's true, I didn't think of it :).

@cactusketo @KetoPlus If you were a neighbor I'd bring you some! It was so filling I only ate 2 slices, the rest is in the freezer for next Sunday!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus I love that and glad you add the yeast it gives it that wonderful smell. Also I wouldn't worry when using yeast anyways because it eats the sugar. Thanks for sharing this!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus You can't break traditions and you are finding ways to keep them going. I love this! Now I want some pizza I wish I was a neighbor. I'd be asking for a slice!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus wow that came out so nice! I love it!

@KetoPlus
A bonus today, too - GARLIC BREAD!

#carnivore #Keto #lowcarb #GarlicBread

@KetoPlus
As promised here is my "pizza in pictures" - it is mostly animal-based, except for the sprinkle of yeast I added to the crust for aroma and flavor. I was very pleased with the result other than it was quite salty...due, I'm sure, to the prepared alfredo sauce I used, and the proscuitto. And there's a bonus as well!

(If you can't read the print - I did my best but there was probably a better way to do it - there is a slide show with these photos at https://chia.owly.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/IMG_20230910_132232507.jpg )

@KetoPlus

Sunday is pizza day in our house...a tradition started when we would pick up a pizza on the way home from church so that we'd have a day off from cooking and cleaning up after eating. As this week has been filled with collywobbles (set off, I believe, from the high-fiber salad I made on Wednesday), I've been leaning more animal-based. And today I am planning a white pizza with a chicken crust.

I have always loved white lasagna (clean deli chicken slices make great "noodle"s!) but this will be my first time making a white pizza. Unfortunately I have a partial jar of prepared alfredo sauce to use up; I'd rather make my own but so be it. Waste not want not.

And while I'm at it, I'm going to try my hand at making my own chicken flour out of the roasted leftover chicken breast I stuck in the freezer. Not a fan of white meat but if this works, I will have a nice use for it in the future!

I will report back later, you can be sure! Pictures 'n' everything!

@KetoPlus

So I tried a new snack tonight, based upon a blog post by Inspirational Momma - https://www.inspirationalmomma.com/2-ingredient-egg-cheese-chips/ - I made these crispy snacks, which I ate with a little dollop of full-fat sour cream on each one. I didn't make them exactly the same as the recipe, however; I added a sprinkle of beef gelatin to the eggs to make SURE they'd be crispy! But these are great even for carnivores (at least, those who eat dairy)! Quite good!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus Sounds so delicious! I could eat that for every meal ha ha

@KetoPlus
Delicious lunch - will probably be my supper also...

A can of chicken, drained + a thin slice of onion, finely chopped + a small cucumber, diced + 6 HB eggs, chopped + seasonings to taste + "healthy noodles" chopped + mayonnaise.

This made a FANTASTIC salad!

(https://healthynoodle.com/products are the noodles, and I find them to be the best of any other low carb noodle substitutes I have tried. Others disagree in the reviews - but I love 'em!)

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus I have never had HB eggs that way. Seems interesting I will have to give it a go. Looks delicious. I love all the different ways we can have our eggs!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus Sounds exciting and fun! 😍 My mom bought some of her best kitchen giz from thrift stores. Our blender was a thrift store find. It was a strong beast! Cool on the substitutions you made! I once tried to do some of the same changes to a banana bread recipe and it was a disaster haha 🍌😂 #thriftstorefinds #kitchengadgets #bakingfails

@KetoPlus

So I, hate processed foods (though I have some lunch meat I'm trying to use up...but I digress), am making "keto friendly" brownies. From a mix. It was a buck at a local Amish store. Pete can't have eggs so I subbed shredded zucchini, and he can't have dairy so I subbed coconut oil for the butter...and added some SF chocolate chips for good measure. Today is the last day of our 2-weeks of anniversary celebrations and I wanted to do something special. So I blew the cobwebs off the box and got out the mixer...(my new stand mixer - from a thrift store - it is ROSE GOLD! Can you even...?!?) and in about 11 minutes a bell will ring we'll see what happens. I will add a photo and a review to the comments herein. But it smells good.

@KetoPlus

Have you ever fried HB eggs in butter (or other healthy fat)?? If not, you should! Eggs are great but can get tiresome, this is just a different texture and they absorb the fat really well this way too! I smash 'em first, or sometimes I cube them, but today I chopped them up and mixed them with some pork sausage, fried them in a half-stick of butter, then melted colby-jack over the top. Delicious!

@DianaSez @KetoPlus I see them at the thrift stores all the time...brand new, or like new. One was $3.00 yesterday at the Good Will.

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus I have been so thankful that Costco has had their own Kirkland brand of grass fed butter. Because it saves so much money compared to the big brand names.

@cactusketo @KetoPlus YES, me too! :) It makes "regular" butter taste not like butter at all to say nothings of the nutrition of course

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus Your doing an amazing job! We all have to do what is right for our bodies. It's amazing me at how changing some little things change a lot of things. It's all a balance we have to find for ourselves. Keep up the awesome work!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus I bet it's so nice and fresh. I would love to be able to shop at an amish store. You have me drooling over here thinking of that cheese.

@KetoPlus

A PERSONAL NOTE:

I just want to put a reminder out there that I eat to control disease processes in my body and not for weight loss (though that's a side effect that makes my doctor happy, at least). I started low carb in April 2004 for weight loss but in the intervening years I have experimented and tweaked as my health dictates, and as I find things that work best, or aren't worth doing. As an example, I will get a high inflammation response from certain grains - but could eat a half-dozen potatoes without an issue, which wouldn't be how I'd be doing it if I were actually trying to lose weight.

That said, I will likely, after this lovely summer produce season is past, do a trial month or two of a totally animal-based diet. A very conservative carnivore WOE is absolutely not out of the question in the near future, either, for healing reasons. (Frankly I can't wait until all of this processed meat is gone!)

Please remember as I post some of these things that my goals may not be the same as yours, and how to achieve them would naturally vary as well.

@cactusketo @KetoPlus Yes, otherwise we couldn't afford it. We live in the midst of an Amish community and so do most of the grocery shopping at their stores which tend to be much less expensive :). The Boursin comes in different flavors, we got the garlic and herb and it is great to melt over burgers, vegetables, make sauces, create creamy soups, add to eggs...it is great stuff!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus wow that looks great! I wish we had an amish store here. Did you get the Boursin cheese at the amish store? I don't think I have ever had that cheese before.

Question for the #carnivore and #keto community! Is there any better way to refilter your used beef tallow? This is my method and it’s slow. Thanks in advance! 🤓 I’ve been using coffee filters over cups and keep warming up. @KetoPlus

@KetoPlus
After eating more carbs than usual (I eat 50g or less/day, though it is more about the type of carbs than the number of them) the last couple of days in restaurants, I'm now doing VLC; it's the only way I have found to prevent the carb cravings after a planned "binge" - very low carb, very high fat, plenty of protein, and not worrying about IF. So today this is my first meal of the the day, a 5-Minute Chef meal, with the crispy crust made of pork panko and shredded (not canned) parmesan. In the middle is proscuitto, turkey, and Boursin cheese. We got a 2# tub of it at one of our local Amish stores for $5 and I use it for a lot of things! Delicious meal, as satiating as it gets, too!

@ChiaChatter @KetoPlus I love that grass fed butter 🧈

@cactusketo And I thought *I* was eating enough butter...love the stuff and going to use more. Fantastic breakfast!

@KetoPlus

@KetoPlus
A couple of lovely meat purchases from yesterday and today. Is it just me, or does anybody else just get an "all's right in my world" type satisfaction when buying healthy fresh foods?

@KetoPlus another video showing them expand while cooking. It’s so much fun to watch 😂

@KetoPlus I chose to season mine with really good Redmond real salt flavoring chili lime! I plan on making cheese ones , garlic ones etc.

@KetoPlus Here is a great video on the whole process. Very good watch if you're interested in doing this. It's what I watched to learn how to make etc. Demonstrates how to do in air fryer too! Enjoy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mIIP-oVCrA

Wanted to share this one! @KetoPlus - This is for people that are like me and love pork rinds. You can make your own. Your choice of fat. Bacon fat or beef tallow or even do in air fryer. Flavor how you like save $ it's super easy. You can buy pellets here: https://store.rudolphfoods.com/pellets-rudolph - 10lb can last a year+ #keto #ketodiet #carnivore #carnivorediet - Made these fried in beef tallow last night. So amazing and so happy with results. No more expensive store bought. CLEAN INGREDIENTS!

@davevons @KetoPlus check this out it looks delicious!!!
