Carnivore Dreams – Taking stock – recipe testing

If you've been following me, you know I'm testing recipes for the Carnivore cookbook.  YES, that first picture is TOTAL CARNIVORE!  And so is the second. The first is a waffle made out of pork rinds, cheddar cheese, an egg and a bit of salt.  I need to revise but I already know what to …

Carnivore Dreams – Sugar???

This is a quick note. And ok, this post may be blasphemy for the carnivore/keto types like me, but this is something I noticed.   Something I noticed by accident, obviously.  (I also noticed another person or two say so in blogs). This is what I noticed:  If I cheat from straight carnivore and I …

Carnivore Dreams – Under Weather

Yep, that's been me for a few days.  Sick as a dog yet again--worse than the strep. So the start of this happy new year has been a little less than. I think it might be that Costco doesn't have those cart wipes most of the other stores have, though perhaps it was touching the …

Carnivore Dreams – Resolutions

I talked a bit ago about resolutions in a recent blog and several of my friends (and other bloggers I follow), I could tell, had shall we say "reservations on resolutions."  I am sure this comes from a combination of perceived self-imposed pressure and past failures. But this seems to me to be passing up …

Carnivore Dreams- Reset

Summer at camp -- not sure who took this one.  But like to see those steaks sizzling there. I've been reading some blog posts from people claiming not to have any New Year's Resolutions.  No plans at all.  Refusing to.  That seems strange to me even if were it not this time of the year.  …

Carnivore Dreams – Cookbook Endeavors

Hilary Fay photography I'm working on a few different books here.  One that I should have published soon is a Wood-fire cookbook/memoir thing.  It's mostly carnivore/keto--all food cooked over a woodfire or in a lodge pot.  I don't have an exact date on the release of it, but should be within a couple months here.  …

Carnivore Dreams – Shopping Day

  Today I'll head to the Cheese Lady, stop by our coop, Burritt's Fish Market, Costco, and on to our small super market in search of a few good things:  chicken livers, Irish cheddar, smoky blue cheese, a sheep's cheese, Manchego I think it is. Smokey blue: Some sparkling water, shrimp, good organic dark roast …

Carnivore Dreams – Cioppino

Cioppino-- Ok, so it has a few tomatoes in it, but otherwise, it's perfectly carnivore.  Salmon, mussels, Andouille sausage, shrimp, scallops.  It has ouzo, clam juice, wine, tarragon, basil.  It's definitely keto and it's good.  And it was Christmas Eve. I've been pondering doing an Amazon cookbook since so few carnivore cookbooks are out there.  …

Carnivore Dreams – Merry Christmas

Have a peaceful and joyous day! I forgot to get pictures of the roast beast last night and/or the Yorkshire pudding!  Heavens!  And what a beast it was.  I had gotten a bit disappointed with all our prime ribs of recent Christmases--no matter the method, the roast turned out either a bit tough or a …

Carnivore Dreams – Dreams, eh?

Dreams -- according to WebMd: Dreams are basically stories and images that our mind creates while we sleep. They can be vivid. They can make you feel happy, sad, or scared. And they may seem confusing or perfectly rational. Dreams can happen at any time during sleep. But you have your most vivid dreams during …
