Carnivore Meal Ideas

 

Sliced short ribs from Costco- bake at 350 for 45 min then broil to make crisp. 

Deviled eggs with butter mayo are super yummy.  Butter Mayo: Whip a large egg yolk (I use the whole egg). Add salt, a touch of onion powder and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and a squirt of mustard (opt or try mustard powder).  Slowly add a stick of melted butter. Whip until creamy and thick. 


About chris cooking nashville:

don't do his carnivore buns. they taste like egg hockey pucks. definitely a miss.
what's great: Carnivore tortillas. increase egg white powder to 3 tbsp for more stability, put everything in the nutribullet and cook on a griddle instead of one pan. i also swapped the sour cream for cottage cheese to lower the carb count.
carnivore mashed potatoes and potato salad. incredible and just like the real thing.
carnivore gravy - this is a STAPLE in my house. i eat every day over chaffles or over indigo nili's butter bread in hamburger bun form. they are a great sub for biscuits.

**********************************************************

for breakfast every day i have : either a chaffle with carnivore gravy, (chris cooking nashville's recipe)
or Indigo nili's yeasted butter bread in roll form. (i put in a hamburger bun pan) you cook them for 25 minutes., they make GREAT biscuit substitutes the 2nd day. the first day they are a little more dry. but you can do the first day too. 🙂 they are just better the 2nd day as biscuits.
her butter bread also makes AMAZING sandwiches. i would just suggest you reduce the egg white powder to 1 cup. less chance of getting too dry.
now - if you watch her video - she will tell you the non carnivore (more keto) ingredients are optional. the allulose is for browning, the inulin is just to feed the yeast, but you can leave out the yeast entirely. the arrowroot is for stability but also optional.
dinner - lazy lasagna. cottage cheese, meat sauce, carnivore noodles.
Noodle revolution noodles - great to add to soups, put under sauces. they have no flavor on their own and don't really absorb the sauce, but it's like having noodles.
Other staples - Chris cooking nashville's tortillas 2.0 > this is the best recipe. but do the following changes : Increase egg white protein to 3 tbsp. it adds stability. Swap the sour cream for cottage cheese. it lowers the carb count and ups the protein. Blend it all in the nutribullet. pour it on a griddle and smooth with a spatula. (he uses way too many unnecessary steps)
these tortillas - make great tortillas, wraps, crepes, and i'm told make a passable pancake although i've not tried them that way.

Hamburger mixed with boursin cheese is fantastic as a beef stroganoff substitute. you can put on a chaffle, or if you're making indigo nili's bread it would work over that also. i suggest as an open face sandwich topped with mozzarella. if you're ketovore - you could add some onion/ peppers for a philly steak vibe.
how about pork? I love me some pork cooked with some hawaiian salt, liquid smoke and a bit of liquid aminos. (yes, those are a little dirty. )
chicken - fried in bacon grease - you don't' have to coat it in anything. just fry it. wings work too this way.
also -chicken breast, pounded thin and pan fried, or pork chops - try the following toppings -
Carnivore gravy - white gravy with cream, or use chicken stock to make a meat gravy.
shoyu cream sauce - cream, 1/4 cup liquid aminos, butter powder. if you need to thicken, add 2 egg yolks, scrambled. then temper with hot cream before adding to pan.
piccata sauce - 4 tablespoons butter divided, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon lemon juice + zest of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon brined capers drained, 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
