Pork
Bacon and Eggs
Simple works really well on a low-carb or keto diet. Here we have scrambled eggs cooked in butter (don’t over-cook, they should be a little moist, not dry!), air-fried bacon purses (i.e., folded bacon strips) and red pepper slices. Incredibly good, so simple, so easy! And it only takes a few minutes to make! No…
Read MoreTuna, Salami, Konjac Noodles, Alfredo Sauce
A very simple, easy low-carb meal! One can of Rio Mare tuna (drained), konjac noodles (one serving; be careful with konjac noodles as they can cause intestinal issues if you eat too much at once!), diced salami (I was just trying to use this up, so it’s optional), minced green onions, cherry tomatoes, 1/2 pkg…
Read MoreScrambled Eggs, Bacon, Roasted Veggies and Tomatoes
This is a filling meal for those days when you are hungry, but need something simple to prepare. The root veggies and potatoes only took 15 minutes in the air fryer. The bacon was pre-cooked and heated for 30 seconds in the microwave. I scrambled the eggs and cut up a few cherry tomatoes while…
Read MoreSimple Meal or Filling Snack
Sometimes you’re just not very hungry or sometimes you’re hungry even though you’ve had your one-meal-a-day! Either way, a small meal or a substantive snack is quite all right! This is one of my favourites: Kirkland cheese and bacon egg bites from Costco and a few baby tomatoes with salt and pepper. Lots of flavour,…
Read MoreMeat Sauce and Brussels Sprouts
I often make a sauce with ground meat and veggies. This one is lamb, Italian-seasoned sausage meat, cauliflower rice, diced canned tomatoes, spinach, onion and seasonings. I also steamed some Brussels sprouts, which I absolutely love, and slathered them with butter.
Read MorePork Chops and Spinach
A very simple and typical low-carb meal: air-fried pork chops and steamed spinach with butter.
Read MoreSalad, Egg Bites and Bacon
A simple meal since the salad was made ahead. I heated the bacon and the bacon/cheese egg bites (Kirkland brand from Costco) in the air fryer. The salad looks kind of muddy in the photo as I mixed in some leftover sweet and sour red cabbage which always turns whatever it’s added to pink!
Read MoreDeli Ham and Egg Bites
An easy, light meal using Kirkland’s Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites from Costco (heated in the air fryer) and Piller’s Black Forest Ham slices. I added some leftover roasted parsnips (reheated in the air fryer) and some tomatoes. The parsnips are not super low carb, but they work for me as an occasional treat on…
Read MoreSausages and Pink Coleslaw
Good price on a large pack of nice, big sausages at Walmart! Here are three of them next to some homemade pink coleslaw. Yummy!
Read MoreBratwurst and Sauerkraut
A delicious Instant Pot meal. Simple, quick and easy! Sauerkraut, onions, garlic, bay leaf, salt and pepper, a cup of water and chunks of sausage. Pressure cook for 15 minutes (add 10 minutes natural release). I used this recipe. Here’s another similar dish. Note: I used only 1/2 tsp of salt.
