Carnivore Egg and Smoked Salmon Frittata

July 13, 2025 By elviira Leave a Comment

This week, I managed to collect a grand total of 90 eggs. Yep, ninety. And just to keep things interesting, I still had 20 eggs left from my last egg haul, sitting in the fridge and giving me that “well, what now?” look every time I opened the door. It was clear: I needed a recipe that would put a serious dent in my egg stash.

Lately, I’ve been on a bit of a beef and bacon streak (if you’ve read my recent posts, you know what I mean), and honestly, I was ready for something different. After a little kitchen brainstorming, I landed on this frittata loaded with eggs and smoked salmon—and wow, it hits the spot.

Here’s a fun little backstory: I first realized how crazy-filling eggs and smoked salmon are during a Mother’s Day buffet with my mom a few years back. I was already deep into the carnivore lifestyle, and I basically just loaded my plate with boiled eggs and smoked salmon. I didn’t get hungry for over 24 hours! If you’re looking for a meal that keeps you full and happy, this combo is the real deal.

So, if you’ve got eggs piling up or just need a break from bacon, give this frittata a try. Let’s get cracking!

Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Beef Sticks

June 29, 2025 By elviira 2 Comments

Ever had one of those middle-of-the-day culinary epiphanies that makes you wonder if you’re a secret genius? Well, that’s exactly what happened with these Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Beef Sticks!

So, I was just sitting there, thinking of my previous creations (the Easy Cheesy Bacon-Wrapped Pounder Meatloaf and those crowd-pleasing Bacon-Wrapped Pork Rinds: Breakfast Edition) when lightning struck my brain. Why not combine these carnivore masterpieces into something even more magnificent—yet simple enough with a maximum of five ingredients?

And thus, these beef sticks were born! Taking the best elements from my previous recipes and transforming them into handheld sticks of pure carnivore bliss. The result? A creation so delicious it borders on the supernatural—crispy, crunchy exterior giving way to juicy, savory beef, all wrapped in nature’s candy: bacon.

The beauty of these meaty magic wands is that they’re universally loved. My son practically growled like a little carnivore while devouring these, while I maintained slightly more dignity while secretly contemplating licking my plate. Who needs civilized behavior when food tastes this good?

Perfect for family dinners, party appetizers, or just because it’s Tuesday and you deserve something amazing, these meaty marvels deliver satisfaction that stays true to carnivore principles without sacrificing an ounce of flavor.

Now, let me show you how this carnivore dream comes together!

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 4 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!

Carnivore Flatbread Hearts with Lox Roses and Cream Cheese

May 11, 2025 By elviira Leave a Comment

Happy Mother’s Day, fellow food enthusiasts! We can all celebrate Mother’s Day because we all have—or have had—a mother. Even if yours occasionally used your full name when you were in trouble or insisted that “hunger is the best sauce” while serving something questionable for dinner.

These adorable heart-shaped appetizers are a perfect—and ridiculously easy—way to show your mother (or any important woman in your life) your appreciation without setting off the smoke detector or requiring an emergency pizza order. Because nothing says “thanks for putting up with me for decades” quite like food shaped like a vital organ, am I right? And let’s be honest, these are also perfect for Valentine’s Day when you want to impress someone special without spending three hours in the kitchen or making a reservation six months in advance.

Made with a carnivore flatbread of your choice, cream cheese spread thicker than the excuses you gave for missing curfew, and surprisingly easy-to-make roses from lox (or cold-smoked salmon), these little beauties take approximately the same amount of time as your mom spent listening to you explain why you weren’t technically lying when you said “everyone was doing it.” They’re ready in a minute and suitable for serving at any time of day, any party, or special occasion. Or just make them for yourself while binge-watching shows your mother would probably disapprove of. Self-care is important too!

Let’s dive into these fancy-looking but actually-so-simple-you-could-make-them-half-asleep treats that will have everyone thinking you suddenly developed culinary skills overnight.

Despite the name, this meaty masterpiece doesn’t check its watch; it’s equally delicious at 7 AM or 7 PM (or at 2 AM for you night owls out there).
