Pork on Pork on Pork—and a Little Bit of Beef

June 15, 2025 By elviira 2 Comments

Ever had one of those days when you just stare into your fridge, thinking, “You know what? There’s simply not enough pork in my life right now.” No? Just me? Well, prepare to remedy that situation with what I can only describe as a meat lover’s fever dream.

This little gem of a recipe literally popped into my head yesterday morning as I was waking up. I wasn’t even planning to post anything this week—I’ve been up to my eyeballs in tallow-rendering and jerky-making, not to mention creating content for my Finnish followers. It’s been chaos!

And let’s be honest, with Google repeatedly slashing my blog traffic, sometimes I wonder why I bother. Can you believe I had more traffic back in 2012 when I first started than I do now? Ridiculous. Google seems to have it out for keto and carnivore blogs—probably because these diets actually work for healing all sorts of health issues. Heaven forbid Big Pharma and Big Food lose a penny to people getting healthier through diet!

But this recipe idea was too good not to share. So here I am, Google algorithms be damned, bringing you what might be the meatiest meatballs ever conceived. You’re welcome.

Easy Cheesy Bacon-Wrapped Pounder Meatloaf

June 8, 2025 By elviira 2 Comments

I’m not going to pretend this is some sophisticated culinary achievement (it’s literally meat wrapped in more meat). But what this meatloaf lacks in complexity, it makes up for in pure, shameless carnivore satisfaction.

Here’s the ingenious secret: this recipe doesn’t need any kneading, and you actually don’t need any bowls. Just use a whole brick of store-bought ground beef, cover it with cheese, and wrap in bacon. The meat stays incredibly juicy because it’s not kneaded tight, and the bacon blanket keeps much of the juices inside, preventing the meat from drying out in the oven. It’s culinary laziness elevated to an art form.

This week, I found myself craving something ridiculously satisfying yet effortless—the kind of meal that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum pleasure. Enter this 4-ingredient carnivore meatloaf that’s essentially just a glorious stack of beef, cheese, and bacon.

So I walked to the nearest store and bought exactly what meatloaf should contain: ground beef, bacon, and cheese. I already had salt at home because I’m not completely uncivilized, despite what my plant-based friends might tell you.

This meatloaf doesn’t just feed you; it makes a statement. It says, “I understand that nature designed me to eat meat, and I’ve accepted my place in the food chain.” It’s the edible equivalent of a middle finger to complicated recipes and nutritional guidelines.

The best part? It takes less prep time than ordering takeout. Just slap it together, shove it in the oven, and prepare for a meal that makes you question why you ever bothered with those veggie-stuffed versions in the first place.

Now, let’s get to the business of making meat taste like better meat, shall we?

Creamy Beef Heart Stew

June 1, 2025 By elviira 4 Comments

So here’s the deal—we’re cooking a beef heart today. Yes, the actual heart. Don’t click away just yet because this might be the most delicious thing you’ll make all month.

This recipe is actually a stripped-down version of one I published years ago in one of my Finnish keto cookbooks. Since embracing the carnivore lifestyle, I’ve simplified it to its purest form—meat, cream, salt. That’s it.

My son, who’s always been an enthusiastic meat-eater, loved the original keto version when he was little. When I served him this carnivore edition, he gave it two enthusiastic thumbs up between bites. Nothing makes me happier than watching him enjoy real, nutrient-dense food.

As for me? I’m completely hooked on this dish. It’s incredibly rich and satisfying, with a depth of flavor you wouldn’t expect from just three ingredients. The heart becomes tender after slow cooking, and when combined with reduced cream, it creates a downright luxurious sauce.

Stick around after the recipe for some optional seasoning suggestions and variations, plus the original recipe from my Finnish cookbook if you’re curious about the keto version.

Enough chit-chat—I’m pouring my heart out into this recipe, and it’s about time you took it!
