  • 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder (technically a plant, but tolerated by many carnivore dieters)

    Slowly add the softened butter, tallow, or duck fat while whipping. The mixture should become thick and smooth.

  3. Mix in flavor
    Add cocoa powder, sweetener (if using), salt, vanilla, and collagen powder. Mix until fully combined and fluffy.

  4. Optional: Fold in cream or whipped egg white

Carnivore Sandwich Bread Recipe

by

Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, this savory, carnivore, pork-based sandwich bread is perfect for sandwiches, spreads, or can be toasted and eaten alone.

Do not skip any of the steps. In the past, I sometimes would not follow the texture instructions (i.e. beat egg whites until frothy, separate these two ingredients into a separate bowl and mix, etc.)

for recipes, and it makes a difference. Each step in the recipe is important for maintaining texture.

Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 lb raw ground pork (Can’t tolerate pork? Make Carnivore Sandwich Bread [Beef Version] instead.)
  • 5 oz pork rinds (pre-ground)
  • 1/4 cup grass-fed ghee (or butter)
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Start the oven.

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Make the batter.

  • Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place the egg yolks in your blender (for later use).
  • With a hand mixer, beat the whites on high until the mixture is very frothy and you have soft peaks. The mixture should be light like foam.
  • Melt the ghee on your stovetop.
  • In a blender, mix the raw ground pork, melted ghee, and egg yolks until a smooth paste forms.
  • Note: the mixture may be a bit hard to blend due to the meat. I usually have to stop my blender, stir the mixture, and turn it back on 3-4 times.
  • With a hand mixer, blend the frothy egg whites and the pork-ghee-egg yolk paste until the mixture becomes smooth like batter.
  • In a blender or food processor, crush the pork rinds to a fine powder.
  • Fold the pork rind powder and sea salt (ASHLEYRfor 15% off) into the batter.
  • Note: if you go through tons of salt in your household like we do, check out this salt purchasing hack that will save you money + make things more efficient. We started this last year, and I’m so happy we did!

Bake the loaf.

  • Pour the batter into your bread pan and bake in the oven for 60 minutes at 375 degrees.
  • Note: You’ll know it’s done when the texture is consistent, dry, grainy, and bread-like throughout. When you cut into the loaf, if it has slimy patches that look like chunks of egg, it’s not done.
  • Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.

Prepare and serve.

  • Slice the loaf into 1-inch thick slices, or whatever size you prefer.
  • Meal ideas: Make a Classic Carnivore Club Sandwich, Pulled Pork Sandwich, or toast a slice and top with Strawberry Glaze and Honey Butter or Onion-Free Guacamole.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!

Steak Bites Recipe

by

These Garlic Butter Steak Bites are quick and easy to make – and they vanish fast! Serve them as finger food on appetizer night, as part of your game day spread or as part of a fun family dinner date.

Steak bites are especially fun for the kids. I know it’s a recipe mostly served as an appetizer (Super Bowl! or any Game Day party!) , but we don’t mind them as a regular meal at all.

They are quick and easy to whip up, and turn out so tender.

Ingredients

  • ▢ 2 pounds steak cut into bites
  • ▢ salt and ground black pepper to taste (season on the generous side)
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon oil
  • ▢ 4 tablespoons butter
  • ▢ 2 cloves garlic or more to taste
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons chopped parsleyoptional for serving

Instructions

  • Prep steak: Remove steak from fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Unwrap, cut into cubes (see notes at bottom of recipe for size recommendation) and season with salt and pepper. Let sit on plate on counter for 30 minutes. (For best results, do not skip this step.)2 pounds steak, salt and ground black pepper
  • Sear steak: Once ready, heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add oil, then sear steak for around 2 minutes per side, until a nice, browned crust forms but middle stays tender. Work in batches if needed, do not overcrowd pan! Set seared steak bites aside on a plate and tent with foil.1 tablespoon oil
  • Make garlic butter: Once steak is done and set aside on a plate, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to empty skillet. Heat about 2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant. Take off the heat.4 tablespoons butter, 2 cloves garlic
  • Finish: Add steak to skillet with garlic butter. Toss to coat. Serve immediately with chopped parsley, if desired.2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Notes

Steak: Use any tender, boneless cut of steak, cut into cubes. Sirloin steak, strip steak or ribeye all work. You can use beef tenderloin/fillet if you want them extra-tender and special.

Parsley: Totally optional, but highly recommended by my entire family, save the picky 5 year old who thinks the green bits are a waste of space ?

Bite size: You can really cut these as large or as bite-sized as you like. Smaller bites cook more quickly and are more done, larger “bites” stay more tender and have a more medium middle.

I cut mine just under 1 inch, and cooked them for around 2 minutes per side, plus some extra tossing around for 30 seconds to get the edges charred.

Searing time: 4 minutes yielded just under 1-inch bites with a medium-done middle. If you want yours more rare, stick to 1-inch cubes and go with a short and blazing hot sear.

For more done bites, sear them a little longer on medium-high heat instead; and/or cut them smaller. Just make sure you don’t overcook them, or they may turn out chewy.

Loaded Tater Tot Breakfast Bowls

by

Golden, crispy tater tots loaded with savory sausage gravy, melty cheddar, and perfectly cooked eggs — a hearty, diner-style breakfast you can make at home.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25–30 minutes
Total Time: ~45 minutes
Servings: 4
Dietary: Comfort food, Make-ahead friendly

Ingredients

  • Frozen tater tots (32 oz / 900 g) – baked until golden and crispy

  • Beef breakfast sausage (1 lb / 450 g) – casings removed, crumbled

  • Unsalted butter (2 tbsp) – for the gravy base

  • All-purpose flour (2 tbsp) – for thickening

  • Whole milk (2 cups / 480 ml) – preferably warmed

  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper – to taste

  • Large eggs (4) – cooked your way (scrambled, fried, or poached)

  • Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (1 cup / 100 g) – for melty, cheesy goodness

  • Fresh chives (2 tbsp) – chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bake the tots – Preheat oven and cook frozen tater tots per package directions until golden and crisp. For extra crunch, use convection or broil settings for the last few minutes.

  2. Brown the sausage – In a large skillet over medium heat, cook crumbled sausage until no pink remains. Transfer to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

  3. Make the roux – Melt butter in the same skillet, stir in flour, and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.

  4. Make the gravy – Gradually whisk in warm milk, scraping up any browned bits. Cook 3–5 minutes until thickened. Return sausage to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm on low.

  5. Cook the eggs – In a separate pan, cook eggs to your liking (scrambled, fried, or poached). Season lightly.

  6. Assemble bowls – Divide crispy tater tots among 4 bowls. Top with eggs, ladle sausage gravy over, sprinkle with cheddar, and finish with chives. Serve hot.

Quick Notes & Pro Tips

  • Make ahead: Cook the gravy and sausage up to 2 days in advance. Reheat gently over low heat.

  • Milk tip: Warm milk before whisking into the roux to avoid lumps.

  • Eggs: For poached eggs, add a splash of vinegar to the water for perfectly set whites.

  • Extra crispy tots: Broil for 1–2 minutes after baking.

  • Assembly: Keep components separate until serving to maintain the best textures.

Why You’ll Love It

This dish is diner comfort food done right: crunchy tots, creamy sausage gravy, cheesy goodness, and eggs made just how you like them. It’s indulgent enough for weekend brunch but simple enough for a make-ahead weekday breakfast bowl.

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

1. Baking the Tots

  • Bake until deep golden brown — a crispy base is key for holding up the gravy.

2. Making the Sausage Gravy

  • Cook sausage until browned. Use its drippings for the roux for maximum flavor.

  • Gradually whisk in warmed milk to create a smooth, thick gravy.

3. Eggs Your Way

  • Scrambled for easy eating, fried for a runny yolk, or poached for elegance.

4. Building the Bowl

  • Tots first, then eggs, a generous ladle of gravy, and a cheesy-chive finish.

Ingredient Details & Substitutions

  • Sausage: Use pork sausage for classic flavor or turkey for a lighter bowl.

  • Cheese: Swap cheddar for pepper jack for a little heat.

  • Eggs: Try soft-boiled eggs for a runny, jammy yolk.

  • Milk: Substitute with half-and-half for an extra rich gravy.

Variations & Serving Suggestions

  • Spicy kick: Add hot sauce, jalapeños, or Cajun seasoning to the gravy.

  • Veggie boost: Mix in sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach.

  • Brunch spread: Serve with fresh fruit or a simple side salad for balance.

  • Crowd-style: Make it in a casserole dish with layers of tots, gravy, and cheese.

Storage & Make-Ahead

  • Refrigeration: Store components separately for up to 3 days.

  • Freezing: Freeze gravy and sausage mixture for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge.

  • Reheating: Warm gravy on the stovetop; bake tots in the oven for crispness.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this vegetarian?
A: Yes — use plant-based sausage and veggie gravy.

Q: How can I make this for a crowd?
A: Double the recipe and serve “buffet style” with toppings on the side.

Q: Can I use hash browns instead of tater tots?
A: Absolutely! Shredded or diced hash browns work well.

Personal Note

Oven-Baked Cabbage Burger

by

The other night, I prepared these cabbage burgers, and they were a huge hit! Delicious, cheesy, oven-roasted delight that fits perfectly into a low-carb or keto lifestyle—without the buns or the guilt. This is how I went about it:

🛒 What You’ll Need:

  • 1 medium green cabbage (cut into thick slices,0ne inch)

  • 1 lb lean ground beef

  • ½ cup tomato sauce/sugar-free ketchup

  • ½ cup shredded cheese

  • ½ tsp salt & black pepper

  • ½ tsp red chili flakes (for a little kick)

  • ONE tsp grated garlic

  • ½ cup chopped green onions

  • ½ cup fresh chopped parsley

👨‍🍳 How to Make Them:

Step 1: Prep
Set your oven’s temperature to 400°F, or around 200°C, first. Arrange the pieces of cabbage on a baking sheet (if you like less cleanup, use parchment paper). Drizzle them with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. To slightly soften them, roast them in the oven for ten minutes. They cook more evenly with the meat later on thanks to this process.

Step 2: Beef Mixture
Take out a large mixing dish and start roasting your cabbage. Grated garlic, chopped green onion, parsley, chili flakes, salt, pepper, half of the shredded cheese, and ground meat should all be added. Combine the ingredients and form into four burger patties.

Step 3: Assemble
Remove from the oven the cabbage. Spread a dollop of tomato sauce over each slice. Place a beef burger directly on top of it after adding a little cheese. Add a final little grating of cheese on top of the meat.

Step 4: Bake
Place the tray back in the oven and continue baking for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbling and the beef is cooked through. If you want that cheesy crust, you can broil it for the final one to two minutes.

Step 5: Serve
Remove them, garnish with more parsley if you want to be fancy, and serve hot. They taste fantastic by themselves or served with cauliflower mash or a side of salad.

Oven-Baked Cabbage Burger

💡 Bonus Tip:

Feel free to add hot sauce or jalapeños to the meat mixture if you prefer your burgers hotter. If you don’t like beef, you can also use ground chicken or turkey.

TIPS:

  • Use an airfryer to have the extra crispy cauliflower corns
  • You may use the leftover/rotisserie chicken for the quick work.
  • You may use the chipotle/jalapenos for the spicy version.
  • Longer marination of chicken & longer refrigerating of crema will give you deep flavor.

HOW TO PRESERVE(LEFTOVERS):

NOTE: Never store an assembled rice bowl

CHILLING:

  • Save every component individually in the containers(sealed). Refrigerate them all for ~four days. Bring all components to the surrounding temperature while rewarming the rice & chicken. Then assemble them for quick serving.

FREEZING:

  • You may save the chicken & rice of cauliflower individually in the container with sealed lids. Freeze them for ~sixty days. Never freeze the crema & topping. Defrost & reheat the chicken, prepare the lime crema & toppings fresh. Assemble them all to serve.

FAQs:

What can I use in place of the dairy cheese?

  • You may use extra cream, paste of avocado, or almond-based crumbled cheese in place of dairy cheese. You can also skip the cheese if you want.

Will the frozen cauliflower rice work?

  • Absolutely! You need to defrost & drain extra water properly, then your cauliflowers are good to go.
