Paffles (Pork Rind Waffles)

Hands down the best vessel for sandwiches when you’re trying to CUT THE CARBS but not the crunch. Paffles have a special place in our hearts because they have connected us to so many keto baes. We love seeing all of the variations in the wild. This is the OG recipe that came together when we were transitioning off the egg fast and into keto carnivore last year.

Some notes:

  1. We like using neutral tasting pork rind crumbs, like Aldi or Mac’s brand. Pork Panko is also a really great pre-made pork crumb product as well if you’re not trying to DIY everything.
  2. Our cheese of choice is organic valley brand mozzarella. It’s 1g total carb per serving or zero net carbs per serving.
  3. People have used other cheeses, such as cheddar, which we have been told helps it crisp up more – but the jury is still out on that.
  4. You do not have to include the garlic, but it helps mask any kind of pork essence.
  5. If you do not eat pork, try using fried chicken skins.
  6. If you make these and they are not crispy, thin out how you spread the dough onto the waffle maker and cook it longer.

Low Carb Vietnamese Caramelized Pork Belly

This recipe is super easy to make and uses asian pantry essentials. Make sure you open your windows while you cook this LOL. This is a really easy way to prepare pork belly – we like to buy the pre-cut strips from Costco. The pork is super tender, salty, sweet, and has this great umami element. Pair it with pickled greens, boiled eggs, boiled cabbage, cauli-rice, or any mild tasting vessel to balance out the flavors

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat a large pan with 2 tablespoons of oil on medium high heat. Once heated, add the 2 pounds of pork belly and garlic powder. Cook until the outside of the pork is no longer pink.
  • After about five minutes, add fish sauce and soy sauce and stir. Cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Add brown sugar replacement and stir thoroughly to coat all of the pork. Cook for another 5-6 minutes to let the sugar caramelize over the pork. Once the pork belly is a dark golden color, drain excess fat ( you can save this for future cooking or put it in a container, let it harden, then discard it).
  • Sprinkle black pepper to taste and adjust the sweetness based on your preference. Add chopped thai chilis as desired, I do this once the pork belly is caramelized.

Low Carb Banh Mi Pockets

These are some of our favorite ways to enjoy one of our favorite sandwiches when we are craving the real deal. “Banh mi” literally translates to “bread” and Vietnamese. Hopefully, someone comes up with the billion dollar idea how to keto-fy french baguettes soon – but until then, these are the best we’ve had get our fix.

Some notes:

  1. The absolute EASIEST WAY to make these is to purchase the cold cuts, Vietnamese mayo, pickled veggies, and paté from your local asian market or Vietnamese deli. You can make your own fixins’ but it’s a process.
  2. If you have a Banh Mi shop near you, like Lee’s Sandiwich, Tip Top, Banh Mi Ba Le, or similar – those shops will have the ingredients ready for grab and go.
  3. The key to a crispy wrap is the lavash that you use – our absolutely favorite to use for these are CutDaCarb flatwraps. You can ONLY purchase them online directly from their website cutdacarb.com. A close second is low carb lavash bread you can find at specialty markets or Middle eastern grocery stores. The third option is Josephy’s lavash bread that can almost always be found at Walmarts across the country.
  4. I have only fried pockets but you can air fry or bake them to your liking. Try 375 degrees for 4-5 minutes.

Sugar Free Bacon Jam

If you’ve never heard or had bacon jam before, prepare to have your mind blown. It is just as it sounds, a jam made from bacon except this one is sweet, salty, garlicky, and all the good stuff in one. The recipe itself is super simple but you need to bring patience and some time to kill because this one’s low and slow. Use bacon jam on burgers, eggs, as a spread, dip, or mixed with cream cheese. You could honestly just eat it with a spoon it’s so good.

Keto Sausage McGriddle Pancakes

There are two things that have been floating our boat lately 1) pancakes 2)tiny ass kitchen gadgets. We got a mini griddle yesterday and HOLY SHIZ it is amazing. We knew that this was going to be the perfect contraption for our sausage stuffed pancakes. Pour, stuff, cook, eat. It can’t get simpler than that. We partnered with our ketobaes over at the Sola Company to incorporate one of our favorite sugar replacements into this recipe. We recently made churro pancakes with the same sweetener and really really liked how it blended with the batter so we had to try out another type of pancake with it.

These pancakes are stuffed with zero carb breakfast sausage patties and griddled to perfection. It’s like eating flattened McGriddles from good ole Mickey D’s without the guilt. Tuck in a fried egg and you’re GOLDEN. Check out the steps below and let us know how it goes for you!

Keto Hacks Galore

One of the things that we love about the Keto lifestyle are the substitutions or modifications we can make that can realistically be sustained long term. Like will cauliflower rice ever be able to fill the void of jasmine rice for us? Probably not, but it serves its purpose as a flavor neutralizer underneath whatever flavorful dish is on top of it.

When we first started Keto, there weren’t many tips and tricks floating around at our disposal – luckily, we came across a super awesome Instagram account that offered many hacks to get us through this new way of eating. @ketohackershop is one of our favorite accounts to follow because the information is easy to process and it’s presented in a simple, yet effective way. We’ve noticed that people who are new to this way of eating can get very discouraged or overwhelmed at the beginning due to the amount of information being thrown their way. This account simplifies the concepts and lays out a lot of information for the masses. There are many recipes for keto versions of comfort food and tips on how to order fast food, the keto way. If you are just starting keto or know someone who could use some guidelines, this is just a highly recommended resource.

Below are some examples of the helpful content that can be found on this account:
