Carnivore Diet - Holy Week Menus

  • After a year of healing from mast cell activation and severe histamine reactions I restarted the carnivore diet a month ago.  My family is ketovore.  I thought I would share my menus for Holy Week to inspire ideas.  I'd love to hear others carnivore/keto recipes.  Items marked with a K are keto not kosher! :jester:


    Holy Thursday
    Antipasto
    Roast chicken
    Cheese broccoli - K
    Salted caramel mousse


    Good Friday
    Grilled  salmon
    Keto fried cod - K
    Shrimp Caesar salad - K


    Holy Saturday
    Broiled lobster tails
    Crustless cheese quiche
    Keto cheddar biscuits - K
    Keto peanut butter cookies - K

    Easter brunch
    Bacon
    Sausage
    Scrambled eggs
    Keto cheddar biscuits - K


    Easter dinner
    Deviled eggs
    Roast lamb with garlic rosemary sauce
    Greek meatballs w/tzatziki
    Creamed spinach - K
    Keto Cheesecake

    Hey thanks!  It's been rough because every time I tried to just eat meat I had severe histamine flares.  I did have to get a Rx antihistamine which seems to have settled things down.  It's taken me a month to get back into ketosis.  But I've already had massive reductions in inflammation and increases in energy and mental clarity.  And it makes fasting much easier.  Fridays continue to be a challenge but we are figuring it out.  

    I spent a bunch of $$$ of unaged beef and what a waste...  Maybe it's the supplier I chose but the steaks were mostly gristle, even the ribeyes.  And I can get the same type of ground beef at Aldi for much less. They seem to be on the carnivore bandwagon with lots of selections.

    Swapping recipes is greatly appreciated.  Oh, I also got a Blackstone griddle........what a game changer!

  • You are absolutely correct, Fridays are definitely a challenge; I have a local seafood restaurant/market that I buy royal red shrimp from and it’s the best I e ever had, has a lobster type texture to it.
    I have a Fresh market that blends me up a 50/50 mix(50%fat trimmings) of ground chuck that is a go to throughout most of the week at 4.99/lb, better than the average 80/20 I get at the big market stores.

    But doesn't the fat melt away and leave relatively little meat when you cook it?

    That's one reason why I no longer buy it.  The other reason is it makes us gag....too much fat.  80/20 works well for my family.  But some people really do well with more fat.

    Anyone tried tallow?  I haven't yet.  Bacon grease and butter are my primary cooking fats.

    I haven't been able to find a cheap source. I think when we go through buying a cow, could make our own. Same, I use those as well as lard.

    Not at all, it's cooked at a low temp, I haven't noticed any loss of meat but definitely superior flavor.

    I use tallow quite frequently, love it as it's a healthy fat and obviously far superior to the poison canola, sunflower, seed oils. I actually have found a wagyu tallow that is amazing!

    I've thought about that.  We do have local organic/hormone/injection free cattle producers.  I may have to go that route.

  • Carnivore/keto religion will only make you fatter and, potentially, send your soul to hell as you rationalize your gluttony for fats with "muh keto".
    Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so his rider falls backward. ~ Genesis 49:17
