Great video ❤
Your family is very lucky.
Wow! I love that you used the thin-ish, long spatula to break up your meat! Never thought of using it that way; in fact, just today i tucked mine out of sight and out of the way because i never use it. It's coming back out of the back of the drawer now that you've shown me a great use for it, Kelsey. Thank you!
hey girl- loved the video!😁 yummy food! 😋 Great job Kelsey 😉👍 Y'all have a blessed weekend❤
OH MY! I made the carnivore casserole today! Absolutely delicious! I can not wait to try the egg muffins later this week!
All of these recipes look so good and are so simple. Thanks for sharing ❤
Great recipes!!
I love that Al Fresco brand chicken sausage! Is that really old? I have not been able to find it for years in my area. I must try those granola bars!
I love your idea of cooking dinner three days only, and then eating the leftovers for the rest of the week. I tend to do this also, but cooking every other day. Having a whole block of days off sounds better to me, so I'm going to give that a try. Have you already made a video specifically on your way of cooking and resting? I know all of them will show this, but how do you organize to do this? Also, do you treat the other meals differently? Curious.
You could write the date on the eggs you have collected, like J 17 for January 17th J 18, for January 18th on the wide end of the egg, when you have so many eggs.
Elevendy billion 😂😂😂 love it!
Wow, thank you for the temperature change tip for creating taller muffins! Kelsey, you are such a blessing to me. I look forward to 'joining you' in life every Friday. Thank you for all you do for us.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In my area we are getting hit with a snowstorm. It’s so nice to be able to curl up with some cocoa and watch your videos.
I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen you make egg pudding before, but it’s a great way to use up a bunch of eggs quickly. Maria Emmerich’s original (keto) recipe is:
10 large hard boiled eggs peeled (or scrambled eggs)
14 ounces unsweetened full-fat coconut milk 1 can, (or 10 oz. almond milk) (use half can for scrambled eggs)
1/2 cup Natural Sweetener or 3/4 teaspoon stevia glycerite
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate collagen
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
Blend until very smooth.
It might smell eggy fresh out of the blender, but it doesn’t taste eggy. Best served chilled.
The ingredients and measurements are pretty flexible. You can change up the flavors pretty easily.
Holy wow…. I have a bad migraine… just came to like, share and comment… then hiding under covers till it goes away. Hugs from Esquimalt
I just saw on a food ad she took a can of flaked chicken, dumped in an egg, blended those, she put in a pie pan with parchment paper placed the blended chicken, egg mixture and flattened it out to the edges, she then placed parmasean cheese all on top, blended that and reshaped/ flattened to bottom sides of pie pan. She baked it at 450 for 20 mins and topped it with research dressing and ceseasar salad. But one could top it off with whatever one wants. I thought the base was quite inventive. Meals all look so yummy!
Thank you so much for sharing what you’re eating also. It’s so helpful. Btw, I make that soup about twice a month, it’s my husband’s favorite with some homemade sourdough. I use spinach instead and add some corn. It’s definitely a keeper!
Everything looks delicious! Enjoyed thanks 😊
Eleventy billion🤣🤣🤣Tell me you’re a mom without telling me! 🥰
Love the peacefulness of your videos! I will tell you that I ate Carnivore/ Ketovore for 5-6 years and I had alot of healing! I had irritable bowel and/or leaky gut! I can now eat sourdough in moderation and potatoes and rice and all sorts of carbs I couldn't before. I try to eat only whole foods and only what I can bake or if I can trust someone else's baking. It is possible I was healed before that many years but I did not try to see if I was, so it may be possible that others will heal faster. Also you are young and I was close to 60 when I started. It was worth it!
How can you tell if you're buying coconut oil that tastes like coconut and one that has no taste to it?
👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x
Thanks for sharing this… love seeing your ingenuity in action.
22:56 your apron is precious❣️ did you make it?
I have tons of jams to use ( also Pomona’s or sugar free ) and those oat bars are a great idea!
The pizza crust is interesting to me. I’m trying to get 30 g of protein per meal because I’m in my 50’s and although I lift weights, the thought muscle loss concerns me. I’ve been making egg white “ tortillas “ lately and then using the yolks for pasta for my husband. I like adding spices and herbs to the “ tortillas or wraps “ whatever you call them and making quesadillas out of them. Have you tried making them? I use egg whites and beef gelatin and seasonings, that’s the only ingredients.
I really love your channel. I know you’re not a doctor, but do you follow a particular carnivore diet? Where do you get your recipes for it? I really need to do this, but don’t know where to start.
All those recipes look so very good. Gonna have to try several of them have the recipes on hand, and we are trying to do the pantry challenge, this is the second year we’re trying it. We did ok at it last year. Doing good so far!
When I bring my eggs in, I write the date in pencil on top. That way I can make sure I’m using the oldest ones first.
Yummy 😋
Awesome recipes! Love how you try n use up what you can on hand n the creativity!
Everything looks so yummy! I'm coming over!! 🤣🥰
Hey Kelsey! Have you tried making pizza crust out of ground chicken? Super easy, just a lb of ground chicken, half a cup of mozzarella, and Italian seasoning. Mix it up, press it on the pan into whatever shape you want it and then bake it. I bake mine for a few minutes at 400 just to get the chicken cooking, then add toppings and put it back in until it is all cooked through. I like it better than the other high protein crusts I have tried. Love your videos! I look forward to them every week.
Loving the carnivore or keto recipes.
As costly as eggs are today I'm sure you're thankful for all those eggs!
All these recipes look delicious!!
Thats a good idea to cut the potatoes in half to bake, that would be faster. Why have I never thought of doing that?
JAM packed video!!! Everything looks so good.
I'm new to your channel and loved seeing your carnivore recipe's. Looking forward to the next video.
Glad you have all the eggs as well and great seeing you in the video… voice overs are good too. 😊 I'm getting baby chicks this spring, so if you want to do any chicken content, i know i would love it. Thanks again for another awesome video!
can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?
Do you not freeze dry your extra eggs?
Hi Kelsey! So nice to hear your sweet voice this morning. I make assorted options of breakfast food that I can freeze. My husband then chooses one from the options each day to take to work for his breakfast. He leaves for work very early so he doesn’t feel like eating at the time he gets up. He has a small oven in his semi that he plugs in and puts his breakfast choice in. The temp only goes up to 300’ and it perfectly warms up whatever he has chosen (he also takes dinner leftovers for his lunch). I think I’ll try baking the quiche as muffins too! I try to have an assortment, breakfast sandwiches, burritos or a protein rich muffins so he doesn’t feel like he’s eating the same thing everyday. Bananas are something I sometimes want to get old lol, because I like to turn those into muffins and bread too! A sweet muffin with hard boiled eggs is also a good option for him. It’s a great time for your chickens to be producing so well. The pantry challenge here is modified but going well so far. I have to go pick up my Azure order this morning and will also be picking up some fresh produce (one of my personal exceptions) on my way back.
Great ideas today, thank you for sharing. 🤗
I have been using whats in my pantry and freezers during this challenge. I'm not a homesteaders, we are a family of 3. So using this challenge has shown me to utilize whats here.
I had rotisserie chicken carcass in my freezer. I made homemade chicken broth. Simmered that for 4 hours to get out all the nutrients. I had orzo pasta, the only thing I needed was celery and carrots. Bought those. Plys I had purchased 8 pounds of chicken breadt recently from a farmers market. Chicken soup was so good, we have enough for today's lunch or dinner.
Since using whats in my freezer I am making room for new meats as they go on sale . Later today I will make some breakfast burritos , I have bacon, eggs and Tortillas, just need to see if I have cheese. Oh and dehydrated hash browns I found those in my pantry. Going to make about a dozen burritos for the next few days meals.
Family requested them.
❤
I will be trying that tip !! Thanks 450 degrees for the first 5 minutes and reducing it to 350 degrees for the rest of the time !!!
