While the carnitas burrito bowl can be served hot, this recipe is ideally suited for meal prepping, yielding a generous amount of pork for multiple servings. - Jessica L

Pork scratchings, crackling, and rinds are all pretty similar but the main difference between them is their fat content and in the way in which they are cooked. Pork Scratchings are made from pigskins and always have some fat under the skin. They are cooked once and result in a traditional meaty hard snack. Pork Crackling is also made from pigskin and often has some fat under the skin, but usually less than pork scratchings. They are cooked twice which results in a lighter, bubblier version of a traditional pork scratching. Pork rinds are made from the pigskin only and there is no fat. Pork rinds are also cooked twice, but at a higher temperature, resulting in a lighter, fluffier snack compared to pork crackling. Pork crackling is commonly called "cracklins" in the US, and "oreilles de crisse" in Canada. You can use either of these pork snacks to make this recipe. This recipe calls for skinless and boneless chicken thighs as they hold so much flavor and are more moist in texture, but feel free to use chicken breast fillets if that what you have. Try to source organic chicken as this meat comes from animals that have been naturally fed and raised ethically, without drugs and hormones. This type of meat will always be healthier and more nutritious especially on a limiting carnivore diet.
This Keto fried eggs recipe is incredibly simple and quick, perfect for a hassle-free breakfast. The base recipe includes just eggs, olive oil, salt, and pepper, allowing you to easily log it into your food journal. Feel free to customize it with additions like bacon or Carb Manager Keto Hashbrowns. You can also add your favorite garnishes such as parsley, chives, or sour cream. Frying eggs in olive oil creates a unique flavor you'll love. Cooking times vary based on your preferred doneness: 4-5 minutes for runny, 5-6 minutes for medium, and 6+ minutes for hard-fried eggs. Breaking the whites during cooking can speed up the process. For simple sides, consider fried bacon, sliced avocado, or Keto sausage bites. Low-carb nuts or cubed cheese are great no-prep options. If you have more time, try Carb Manager's waffle, chaffle, or pancake recipes. Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is suitable for light frying at medium-low temperatures in this recipe. Alternatively, you can drizzle EVOO over the eggs after cooking to enjoy the flavor of high-quality oil.
This low-carb bread recipe delivers a satisfyingly crunchy and salty experience. Each slice of this Keto bread is generously filled with pepita seeds and topped with flaky coconut. Pepitas offer a delightful, salty flavor and a boost of Keto-friendly fats. Natural, dried coconut flakes provide a complementary flavor profile and toast beautifully on top of the loaf. Feel free to adjust the slice size to suit your needs. For a snack-sized portion, cut the loaf into four sections, then slice each section in half to create half-sandwich slices. Pepitas, or pumpkin seeds, are readily available year-round in most grocery stores. They typically contain around 6g of carbs and 15g of fat per 1/4 cup, making them an excellent addition to a Keto diet. Other great options for a Keto diet includes sunflower seeds and chia seeds. This Keto bread recipe involves baking in three separate stages. The initial 10-minute bake stabilizes the batter, allowing it to support heavier toppings like pepitas and coconut flakes without deflating the egg whites. After the second baking phase, an aluminum foil hood is placed over the bread pan to trap steam, promoting further rise and preventing the bread from drying out. The extra steps in the baking process are well worth it, resulting in a light and fluffy Keto bread that rivals traditional sandwich bread.
