Easy Ketovore Breakfast Casserole

Easy Ketovore Breakfast Casserole

Are you looking for a way to cook a delicious breakfast for a bigger group of people? Look no further! This delicious meat and egg breakfast casserole is the perfect dish!

Loose recipe/directions:

  1. Cook the bacon, ham and pork ground sausage on stove, then put cooked meats into casserole pan first (never hurts to have more meat than egg)
  2. Add in some pepercinis and green onions finely chopped (ratio of these is a lot less than the eggs and meats)
  3. Eggs (ratio should be try to use two eggs per person eating it) add a little bit of heavy cream to make it more fluffy if you want (just a bit)
  4. Colby jack cheese 1-2 cups on top (I like cheese so I put a good amount)
  5. Cook on 350 until light golden brown on top! Depends on size and depth on pan so it’s hard for me to provide a cook time, but golden light brown on top is best way to tell!
  6. Don’t forget to serve with SOUR CREAM!

4 Minute Ribeye w/ Video cook along

4 Minute Ribeye w/ Video cook along

4 Minute Ribeye – watch the video on my YouTube channel and cook with me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcH-XT319ZE

Ingredients:

2 10 oz ribeye steaks (from Certified Piedmontese)

Salt and Pepper, Garlic, 2-4 tbsp butter

Directions:

1. Before you cook the ribeye’s, salt both sides on the steak, place steaks in a plastic bag and keep them in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour and/or up to 24 hours.

2. Place a skillet on the stove. Put the stove to high heat. Once you can see the heat coming off of the skillet add 1-2 tbs on butter to the pan.

3. Carefully add the steaks to the skillet with tongs. Keep each steak on one side for 1 minute and continuously flip the steak until you have reached the end of four mins. OR keep the steak on each side for two minutes each. During minute three and during minute four add 1-2 tbsp of butter on top of the steaks. You may scoop the extra butter on sides of pan onto the steaks (just like basting).

4. Use your meat thermometer to do a temp check and if it is at or close to reaching the final internal temp desired remove from stove. I like my ribeye around 140-150 degrees, so I will take it off once it reaches 135-140 degrees internal temp.

5. Let it sit on your plate for a few minutes and then enjoy!

Salmon roe, the superfood!

Salmon roe, the superfood!

Salmon roe has been part of my life since I was 4 years old! I remember trying it for the first time at a sushi restaurant where they call it “Ikura”. It was salty heaven and I didn’t mind that is was fish eggs and would continue to ask for it 😂

It wasn’t until years later than I realized salmon roe was an absolute superfood. I remember Dr Rhonda Patrick talking about how good it is for pregnant women to eat salmon roe because of how nutrient dense it is. Specifically, the DHA folic acid found in salmon roe is extremely important for a fetus’ brain development. You can’t find that level of DHA in anything else with the same level of absorption.

My relationship has continued with salmon roe. I now try to eat 4-6 oz per week to get the nutrients it contains which include Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Omega 3s, DHA folic acid, thiamine and selenium. Since it is a superfood for brain development, it has been recommended for women to eat salmon roe while they are pregnant and to try to introduce to your kids at a young age!

Anyone else love salmon roe? 🤍

Eggs: Cost effective and 11 different nutrients

Eggs: Cost effective and 11 different nutrients

When following an animal based or carnivore diet, eggs can be a cost effective meal for each day and a great source of 11 different nutrients including Vitamin D, Iron, and B12 (to name a few, look it up! It’s a long list!)

Egg yolks, are one of my favorite things to add on top of my meat and are the most nutritious part of the egg. Some days for whatever reason, the whites of the eggs gross me out so bad, I’m repulsed by them. I thought I just might not be into eggs but turns out it was the whites not the yolks. Am I the only one? What is your thoughts on eggs? 🙌🏼🍳🥚

Keeping it simple & the occasional Cheat Meal on Carnivore

Keeping it simple & the occasional Cheat Meal on Carnivore

Month 9: We’ve been doing carnivore since April 2020, and wow has it changed my life for the better in so many ways. One of the ways I think that people don’t talk about is just how SIMPLE it makes eating and cooking meals. Eating simple creates a positive relationship with my food not only in the sense that it loves me back (relieves my health issues) but for example, I don’t track anything, I don’t have to look at my macros to make sure I’m hitting certain numbers. When I did keto I was just obsessing over how much fat I was getting and what I had to eat next or if I was counting net carbs correctly, etc. it’s pretty simple when you eat an animal based diet. I eat till I am full. THAT’S IT!

I think a lot of people also wonder about if we “cheat” and yes we sometimes do, and EVERY single time I regret it. I get very sick, it’s like being on an elimination diet and every time you try to reintroduce sugar or gluten (& some vegetables) you realize how shitty those things are for you. But yes, so we do have cheat meals, we try to have cheat meals instead of cheat days so it still follows some discipline and you don’t go off the rails in a way that’s too hard to recover from. I will admit every time I do cheat here is what happens: bloating, stomach pain, feeling like you have IBS, sometimes throwing up, acne that pops up, irritability, headaches, bad sleep, bad mood, brain fog, you name it. So yeah, NOT WORTH IT.

I am very thankful to have found carnivore and I would’ve never realized how bad my body was reacting to sugar, gluten, soy, vegetable oils, some vegetables, etc unless I went down this path.

Butter-poached Lobster Claw & Knuckle Meat

Butter-poached Lobster Claw & Knuckle Meat

Made butter-poached lobster claw and knuckle meat last night and it was delicious 🤤 “Loose” directions below!

You can use my butcher box code to get $15 off your first box and add this lobster meat to your box. We have been using Butcher Box since March 2020 and we absolutely love it! It is where majority of the meat we eat comes from.

Link: http://fbuy.me/pRRfM

Loose Directions:

In a pan add about 2 inches of water. Turn the stove to high and add 2-4 tablespoons of butter. Bring both to a boil.

Once the butter is melted in the boiling water, turn to medium-low heat and add the lobster knuckle and claw meat.

Make sure to flip the meat on there every once and a while. Cook until internal temp reaches 145 degrees (yes use your meat thermometer!) once it hits that internal temp you are good to go. Lobster meat will start looking flakey and fluffy once it is cooked to this internal temp but definitely use a thermometer.

Serve with butter.
