Mini Keto Pancake Donuts | Ruled Me

It’s a cause for celebration! Not only is it Friday today, it’s also National Donut Day. Time to whip out the donut maker and crank up the heat, because it’s donuts for breakfast this morning. These donuts are so incredibly simple. All in all, it takes about 5 minutes to get the batter put together, and around 20 minutes to cook all of them – 25 minutes from start to finish and you’ll have a plate packed full of delicious, decadent morsels. These little guys taste fantastic. Though I do recommend pairing them with something. A little sweet kick, maybe slightly..

These look delicious!

Question of the day: How come all the Keto, low carb pushers are still fat, overweight and unhealthy?? Look at Loren Cordain, Sally Fallon, Andrew Weil, Barry Sears, William Davis, these are all people who are overweight themselves and tell Others "don't eat fruit, it'll make you fat, have a glob of butter and some chicken fat instead!" ... So are these "obesity experts" over-dosing on fruit?? Or is it their high FAT diets that are making them FAT? Tim Noakes is a type 2 diabetic!!!

Answer: idk, why are you a cowardly troll that hides behind anonymity to bitch about other peoples’ lifestyle choices?

Maybe the real answer is that nobody is perfect. You are obviously not perfect. I am not perfect. Keto is not perfect. In fact, no diet is perfect. Some people (myself included) have lost weight through a low-carb lifestyle; but it doesn’t work for everyone. Weight Watchers works great for some people, but not for others. Jenny Craig works for some, but not others. Calorie counting and exercising every single day works for some, but not others. And so on, and so on. Guess who else has Type 2 Diabetes? People who adopt vegan diets; people who adopt low fat diets; people in general.

Instead of being a tiny-minded troll, perhaps consider this: what works for some people might not work for others. The fatness, or lack thereof, of anyone doing any type of diet or lifestyle change does not affect you in any way. As long as people are trying to become more healthy, I applaud them, regardless of what lifestyle choices they make - whether it be to slather their chicken in globs of butter or eat nothing but fruit.

I feel a profound sadness for you and all of the anger and hatred you seem to have. I hope that whatever it is that makes you hate yourself so much that you feel the need to lash out at others can be resolved so that you can be a happier, kinder person. But just in case it can’t...

Oven-baked bacon over the fluffiest omelette ever, bar none.

I watched Jean Imbert making his version of the Mère Poulard omelette and despite using nothing but eggs and seasoning, the mix was as thick as batter. Oh my god, it’s perfect. Kinda feels like I’m eating some sort of cake or souffle ‘cause the consistency is so airy. (I’m totally adding cheese next time.)

If you’re making an omelette any time soon, you need to try this method. So. Good.

Keto cookies

Played around with the crust I used for mini key lime pies, and came up with chocolate chip cookies.

6 Tbsp coconut flour 4 Tbsp butter 2 eggs 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 2 packets stevia Pinch salt 2 squares 100% dark chocolate

Baked at 350 degrees about 8 minutes I rolled the dough in parchment and froze it before slicing the cookies. I’m not sure that this would make a difference. This made 24 “2 bite” cookies.

Per cookie 37 cal 2.8g of fat/ .6 g carb/ 1.9g protein

***Note*** depending on the scoop size of protein powder the dough may be slightly dry. Next time I may try adding 2 Tbsp almond milk.

Makes sense to me.

Fat acceptance and me.

I hit the 40lb weight loss mark. I’m happy but need to say something. I’ve been over weight for over 7 years now. Since I married my sweet, handsome, loving, perfect in every way for me husband I have gained 100 fucking pounds. ONE-HUNDRED. I went from 167 to 270. I’m not going to pretend this 270 thing is recent, because it sure as fuck isn’t. I have been over 200 pounds since about a year in, around this weight for probably the past 3 years. He gained weight too, around 60lbs, but when we did low carb a couple years ago he lost it, and has kept it off. Meanwhile, I stay the same. Constantly fidgeting with my clothing, going through 10 outfits before we go out so I don’t look like I’m wearing clothes too small for me. I dress for my weight. I have not worn shorts or a tank in a couple of years, we live in Washington so the summers don’t get too hot so I can get away with it. I’ve dieted many times, my husband has never told me to, I know he knows I am unhappy, but every fucking day he tells me how beautiful I am, how much he loves me, and how he just wants me to be happy.

Never once has he ever mentioned my weight, fuck knows he thinks about it, who wouldn’t. 

So why can’t/couldn’t I lose the weight? 

-Because I can’t stop popping shit into my mouth that is absolutely horrible for me, and eating more than a person should in a god damn day. 

I can not emphasize enough how this is my own fucking fault. It is not society, it is not Mcdonald’s, it is not my parents. IT IS ME that keeps putting this shit into my body. I could blame someone all day for why I eat as much as I do, why I don’t exercise enough. Or I could create a movement that makes society love me and accept me for my body type…and totally rip on girls who are ‘skinny’ who work their fucking asses off at the gym. Oh wait I forgot, they are naturally skinny…right? That is how we are doing this? I was born with big bones, right? It is perfectly to gain weight as you get older right? Big is beautiful? There is a huge fucking difference between being a little overweight, or curvy. We all realistically know what curvy is, so please, don’t call that fat roll you and I have hanging over our pant waste a curve, because it isn’t. 

Big is beautiful. 

Can I just for one moment please tell you why big is not beautiful, why big is not fun, why being OBESE (because that is what this is) is not sexy?

I can’t pick shit up, I have to do a mean weird legs spread squat to pick shit up because my stomach gets in the way. My husband picks stuff up for me when he is around, he fucking knows.

When I walk too much (too much, HAH) my LOVE HANDLES start to hurt and get sore. 

The inner thighs off all my jeans maybe last a month. They rub out due to the friction

Wearing a dress? Chaffing to the point of blood due to the thighs touching if I walk around longer than an hour. 

My hair falls out more than it should, because of my diet

On hot days, my beautiful wedding ring doesn’t fit my finger, it fucking hurts because my fingers swell up really bad…this also happens if I walk around a lot. 

Buying clothes is awful, I know I’m big. What is the point in buying something to dress up how awful I feel inside. 

Sometimes I get so upset about being overweight and not making a change I take it out on those around me, namely so, my husband. 

I just flew internationally on a 787, the seat belt, barely, and I mean barely buckled. I kept checking online at the seating arrangement and kept moving to where no one would have to sit next to me. If I cross my arms I don’t pour into the next seat, but 10 hours like that would have sucked. 

I’m out of breath, a lot. It is embarrassing.

When I am out in public with my husband I feel embarrassed for him. He is a great looking, sweet guy, with the fat wife. 

Why did it take me so long to finally dedicate myself? I really can’t tell you why before none of the reasons listed above, and reason why I did not even mention were not good enough. Being overweight is really weird, you would love to lose the weight, but then you…I… see a taco or something and eat it..okay like 8 of them.

But then this movement came along

. Obese people started putting skinny people down. Started demanding as if it would brain wash the nation, that big people are the new standard, the new beautiful. Inspirational quotes started popping up all over facebook to justify the reason why no one wanted to lose weight. It was a huge “We don’t want to lose weight, we are not going to change, so we are going to make thin people feel bad about being thin” Only it didn’t work…well for some it has…but it sent me running in the other direction. Nobody has to accept me. No one has to love my

rolls

…oh sorry…curves.

I don’t want to be apart of that crowd

, I don’t want people to think that I am some fat person who refuses to change, and puts down any other type of healthy body type because I don’t love myself enough to stop putting burgers in my mouth. I’m terrified to be in that group, I want out, I want out as soon as I can. Being fat isn’t just about being fat anymore, they made it something more, something that everyone could take notice and hate, rather than something that simply existed. Those are things that effect me as a person about my weight. I’m 27 years old, I can’t keep going like this, the health risks that are involved in being overweight have been proven, they are showing, so why is this lifestyle being encouraged? I can’t understand it. There is nothing healthy about this, mentally and physically. I can’t believe someone could be this weight, and still function normally as a human being day to day, without once thinking that all this extra fat is getting in the way of something for them. 

How my life is

My husband and I have two dogs, and they are my whole world. I have such a happy life, I can’t believe how much I love my husband and how much he loves me. Our money problems went away in the past year, we have a savings and extra to just mess around with. We go camping, we go for walks, we get out, we travel. I don’t live a sit down lifestyle, but due to the things I eat and the amount, it isn’t enough to sustain a weight loss. My heart is full at every moment and I know that I could have never imagined such a happy full of love life that I have here in front of me, I’m aware every single fucking day of how much I have, and how I never want to lose it. The only thing wrong is how my weight effects things in our schedule, our relationship. Even if he didn’t think about it, and again he never tells me, I do. We still have sex regularly, but I’m conscious of my body I created. When the weather gets warm it gets really bad, I just want to hid inside if the temperature gets too hot, and get irritable at him if he suggests doing anything out there. I love my job, I love my home, I love my tiny family we have together…I just don’t love myself…well I’m starting to. I’m starting to better my decisions. It takes seeing progress, it takes time, and it takes a supportive community to get going. I still slip up, I always will…but I don’t want to go back to being the way I was. I’ve lost a little, and want to keep chugging a long. The Keto community on reddit is amazing, and I often lurk there for support, and have posted a couple of times. I will continue to write about my struggles and my weight loss but I just wanted to rant about this movement and why I think it is bad for us as adults, and children who grow up to think that being overweight is a something to be proud of. 

If you are happy with yourself, go on being happy, but please recognize the risks and health issues associated with being overweight. No one has to accept us, no one has to think we are beautiful, so quit pushing it. You shouldn’t have to tell anyone that you are beautiful, they will figure it out for themselves, I promise. 

Quit saying bones are for dogs skinny/healthy people are people too….it is just mean.

Salmon and Cream Cheese Frittata

So, I had a can of salmon, a bunch of eggs, and a need to make a dinner that 1) I could take to work for lunch the next day (non-kosher/meat products aren’t allowed there) and 2) could also have for dinner the next evening since my hubby would be working late. I also had some chives, and decided, hey, maybe I could make something with these ingredients. I did. And it was tasty - and held up very well over the following 2 days.

Ingredients

6 large eggs

4 oz, Cream Cheese

5 oz, Atlantic Salmon (Canned In Water), drained

½ cup Low-fat Half & Half

4 g, Chives - Raw

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9" pie pan. Drain your can of salmon (or cook your salmon filet if you’re much fancier than I am) and crumble it at the bottom of the dish. Break up the cream cheese and arrange the chunks on top of the salmon. Chop up your chives into desired size. In a small-medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half & half, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and chives until nice and frothy. Pour the egg mixture over the salmon and cream cheese. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes until set. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Alternate directions: If you have a skillet that is oven-safe, and want to make this more of a “true” frittata, you can follow these directions. Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a non-stick skillet and heat on medium-low heat. In a small-medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half & half, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and chives until nice and frothy. Drain the salmon and crumble into a large bowl. Break up the cream cheese into chunks and mix together with the salmon. Fold the egg mixture into the salmon and cream cheese bowl until everything is mixed together.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and stir lightly to spread the filling around evenly in the pan. Cook until the bottom is set, but not brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is set, about 8-10 minutes minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and set aside for 5 minutes. You can then invert the frittata onto a plate and cut it into wedges.

Makes 8 servings.
