You are flippin funny. I laughed so hard. Don't ever change your style.

[@aweeks6649]

I love that you aren't a chef and experiment! That is where most of us are 😂

[@mikedonaldson8898]

I have a "breading" I use with the pork rind panko. 1 cup panko, 1/2 cup pre grated parm cheese and 1 Tbsp of beef gelatin powder. Season to taste. The beef gelatin seems to hold the breading on whatever you're coating after cooking.

[@almostoily7541]

Oh, I hadn't thought of adding gelatin!

[@teddibear1850]

Great tip!

[@Time_Traveler_Karen]

I can't wait to try this. Ty for the recipe

[@KarenWimberley]

Thank you for sharing Mike.

[@andreaarmatage7695]

Hi Dave ! Just want to say I really appreciate your use of imperial rather than the metric measurements and temperatures. Its a pain to juggle through conversions, and as for My height and weight I don't even care to learn those in cm.'s and kilos....Great Show, You are a Pleasure to tune into 😊

[@lesliebooth2833]

Agree. If folks can do YT they can find conversions.

[@adriennepyle7625]

We aren't on the metric system😂 you don't need to talk in grams. Half of us in the US, especially down here in the South, still measure a pinch, a dash, a little in the palm of our hand, a smidgen, a spoon, a tad......we eyeball it. And Southern food is BOMB. So cook on, bro!

[@bjrgstre-mauger5398]

I am a norwegian watching from Australia...both metric countries. We use cups and spoons but grams would be really appreciated instead of ounces etc. Sometimes I have to google multiple times to find the metric version in a recipe 😂 I think the U.S is the only country not on metric

[@stevestogsdill5791]

Awesome. My wife likes to make the meatballs with sausage instead. Great snack and for breakfast.

[@vdublady]

Loving your low carb (keto) recipes!!! Thank you!!

[@CookingWthDave]

You are so welcome!

[@CandyLindTX]

PS DON’T CHANGE! I love coming here to get a laugh when I can’t find one elsewhere.

[@HarmonyQueHolm]

Love these ideas! More please

[@desi_vintage]

These look great, Dave! Im most excited for the pickle and bacon ones, yum! 😋 Thanks for always coming up with good recipes!

[@mgaddini8363]

Looks good!❤

[@daveandellenbartlett8725]

Love all the Keto recipes!

[@joanbrinton]

Dave, don't listen to all of those naysayers! You are charming, funny, and most importantly authentic! I cook just like you, but without the aid of A.I. Keep up with your way of cooking & sharing 😋! Your cooky way of approaching recipes is inspiring cause you aren't afraid to fail even on tv. If more of us were as honest as you about our abilities in the kitchen we would be less critical. Chin up & keep sharing !🎉

[@terianderson9959]

You are so funny 😂❤

[@heavyq]

Hey I have that same Airfryer. I guess we're best friends now.

[@Kro_man_tx]

Maybe take the cottage cheese/mozzarella mix press it into a silicone baking mold and place the tray in the freezer to get the mixture to firm up. Then you could coat and fry!

[@CookingWthDave]

Good idea

[@TheMotownPhilly]

Man, you sound like Cartman when you struggle, lol. Very entertaining video. Thanks

[@CookingWthDave]

I try

[@NilaRegenstein]

Looks yummy! Love the easy recipes. 😊

[@CookingWthDave]

Glad you like them!

[@cindydemanche3839]

Interesting ideas! Loving you doing the keto recipes for sure!

[@pamsury3969]

Get you some paper liners to put in your instant pot and that will help with clean up but also keeping a mess from sticking on the tray and it’ll be easier get out. Thank you! You’re so entertaining of watching you.

[@Unconventional_wisdom_au]

Hi Dave! Sunny from Australia! Living your content! 🥳 For those new to keto On a well formulated ketogenic diet/lifestyle the desire to snack disappears but these recipes are great to take with you or serve up at a gathering. Let’s show the naysayers how deliciously we can eat! 💪🏻

[@adriennepyle7625]

If you don't like pickles, we can't be friends. 😂 Claussens specifically, are the BEST PICKLE ON EARTH.

[@vivianspringer5142]

I woukd use the small sweet peppers that come in reds, orange, & yellow...I found some seedless! Cut in half, remove the stem, cut string cheese to fit into each pepper half, wrap with the bacon, cook & enjoy. My Daughters use jalepeno, bit too spicy for me. Thanks Dave (about to put my Husband on a Keto diet with me for Health reasons! I'll keep watching...need a guy's recioe suggestions!

[@lesliebooth2833]

100% best!!!

[@mystix008]

Hi Dave! Love your recipes and experiments. Maybe look around for "dry curd" cottage cheese which does not have the liquid. It could work for your recipes instead of straining?? I use it for cottage cheese flatbread. Just an idea. The bacon wrapped pickles look pretty good 😍

[@ChandaWisdom]

I’ve been watching you for a few months now. I laugh so hard because you’re about as hot a mess as I am in the kitchen 🥰. Definitely trying the pickle bacon situation!

[@CookingWthDave]

Oh thank you!

[@cc2020-d4w]

Dave, thanks for these. I'm always looking for great tasty & easy Keto & Carnivore airfryer ideas! I always laugh watching you experimenting in the kitchen. Don't change. It's what makes me return to your channel. It's unique.

[@BitsySkittlesPryss]

Great video! I love fast, easy snacky-type keto recipes.

[@bonnietagliarini9885]

Dave, I getting worried. You're starting to improvise like a real chef. That would spoil your videos. We need to start rating the amusement level of each video. This was a solid 8.5 out of 10. Best from Cleveland! 😂

[@kimhr1069]

Thank you for another great video. You could just take some string cheese and bread it like the cottage cheese bites. That would be quicker and would be actual mozzarella sticks. I really love watching you. You cook like I do. ☺

[@Dawn-MarieMiller]

I like the quick and easy multiple keto recipe videos. The pickles looked really good 👍🏼

[@julieoelker1865]

Dave, you're fun to watch. I might just try one of these, maybe the pickles. Yum!

[@garycarter3109]

Don't worry about it man, you keep doing your cups and spoons. If people are that concerned about the measurements they can ask google to translate for them.

[@race2finish777]

you go through the same issues we all have while we're trying new recipes! HAHAHA!! Its awesome!

[@starfire8221]

You just made my morning again. I love watching you and I love your recipes. Don’t ever stop being you.😂😂

[@CookingWthDave]

Thanks so much

[@wingsandbeaksbirder2312]

Great format with the 3 recipes.😊

[@stephenrobb8759]

The bright yellow apron makes me think, "Gordon's Fisherman " .... I miss good fish sticks.

[@lesliebooth2833]

You are awesome! Had me chuckling the whole time! Im looking forward to making these.

[@AccioPadfoot12]

Thanks Dave! I'm actually intrigued by that cottage cheese egg bite one and might have a go with a couple of modifications. I have egg bite molds I can use so they'll keep their shape. Having a think on it.

[@ChrisRedheart]

I really liked this episode!! I think its great to have these types of shows/recipes.

[@CandyLindTX]

Buy a strawberry huller. I’ve never used mine to hull strawberries, but it is GREAT to remove seeds and membrane from jalapeños (or any kind of pepper), and would work just as well for removing seeds from pickles (cucumbers) and zucchini, as well.

[@geemare]

Spoon is fine

[@lisah.8653]

Get you some Reynolds pre-cut parchment paper, love it, no cutting, ripping or tearing.

[@almostoily7541]

Something I didn't think about for years was to use one hand to dip in wet ingredients and the other to dip food in the dry ingredients. Then you don't have the clumpy hands. Now I just use forks or tongs. Not sure why it started bothering me as I've gotten older to have stuff on my hands in the kitchen. I mean, I garden without gloves 😂 My nephew loves everything pickle. I may have to try those for our next cookout!

[@juliettewannet6594]

This Chanel is for my senety ❤ sorry English is not my native language ❤❤❤ love you Dave

[@roseannem.tockstein8140]

Dave using a cookie scoop will make the meatballs easier to form and more uniform. Thanks for the entertainment along with good keto recipes.

[@Lynniescorner]

Dave, I love these ideas. I'm searching for these very types of things right now. I have some issues that currently restrict what I can eat. What I was wondering, what about these, but including veggies some how? That's where I'm lacking and ironically craving. By the way, love the ai. Because of finding you, I have started using it to create or alter recipes. You can alter the recipe. Have it check it. For example. I have a nut allergy. So, if I sub coconut flour in, I know the liquids need to be adjusted. The other day, it told me as much in our little discussion. But when it went to rewrite it, it neglected to change the liquids. So I pointed it out and it did. I've learned a lot from it. I've learned from you. Thank you for the time you spend making these videos.

[@whatmattersmost6725]

Very nice Super Keto Cooking with Dave!!!

[@keinohrtini]

awesome video idea! I will try your recipes! Looking forward fo the fast dessert munchie recipes!!

[@lisagalloway9864]

I enjoy your videos.....reminds me of when I try new recipes. Hahaha Myself, macros don't matter. I am like a foodaholic....so I have to just eat it and not think too much about it. 😂😂😂

[@robynmanuel3839]

hey Dave...where did you find your cutting board. I love the size of it .

[@NormaDelRizzo]

Keep those keto snacks coming!! Going to try all these. I bought dry curd cottage cheese to try. If we have to strain the cottage cheese anyway, why not go straight to the dry curd? I don't know, I'll let you know:)

[@bjrgstre-mauger5398]

Love your channel! I have made a lot of your recipes!! An a norwegian living in Australia...both metric countries I would really appreciate metric when you are using pound and ounces. We use spoons and cups so that is not a problem. Sometimes I have to google a conversion to metric multiple times in a recipe! So thank you for considering metric 😊 Just a thpught, is America the only country not on metric? Are there other countries?

[@Smooshmouf]

With the first recipe, you can also use cream cheese and they are fantastic!

[@AlohaPrepper]

Im going to make those meatballs but use sausage. You made me hungry! You could get a yogurt strainer or just sa e one of hour cottage cheese containers and drain it in the fridge using the cheesecloth to strain it overnight or whatevef.

[@ksacosta69]

When I was in high school, I'd get the jumbo style dill pickles, squeeze (or suck tbh 😂) the inside ojg, then stuff cheddar cheese down the middle of the pickle and eat it. It was very tasty and reminds me somewhat of your recipe. 😊

[@Julym00n]

Loving your videos... I use to watch your pod cast with Commonwealth picker... yeah I do EBay and Keto. I enjoy watching you cause I wing it a lot like you lol

[@tanyaflynn4908]

Looks so good! I have a food scale, but I prefer the American way. Lol. (Winter Garden, Fl)

[@maryh7134]

Thank you. Love your channel.

[@jessicacollier2499]

Ohhhh you are doing the thing!!! Nevermind what I said, proceed

[@CatIndovina]

Love the video! I can't wait to try these!

[@esther.f.g]

I like your ideas, I am going to start with the cheese bites, excellent idea, thank you, you are becoming a referent for keto ideas

[@jillbarnettstadler]

Hi Dave-/I think you are supposed to hollow out both the pickle halves, add mozz stick, add top with other half of pickle, **then**wrap in bacon. It should stay together and hold the melted cheese. .

[@CookingWthDave]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ThriftedSpirit]

Nice new cutting board!

[@dutchgram3799]

I would like to check the cutting board (work mat) out. I'm always running out of room on cutting boards etc.

[@ThriftedSpirit]

@@dutchgram3799 it might be in the links. I need a bigger counter in my mini kitchen LOL

[@TrippNBalz]

I have some of those gigantic dill pickles! All look so delicious and easy. Thank you

[@LadyBug..Reseller]

Great recipes save the cottage cheese juice and make a nice keto dressing groceries are to expensive to waste ❤

[@CookingWthDave]

Great idea!!

[@DanInDemand]

I felt like the AI was messing with you to see if you would try to make the cottage cheese balls but they look good. The other two I’ll definitely try.

[@FreeYourMindArt]

Not too pickl;y, it's more cheesy and bacony. What do you do with the cottage cheese 'slurry'? surely it can be used for something?

[@Orangepower222]

you lost me at pickle *bleh* but i'll still watch you are entertaining and I have a good time here :)

[@Fair-to-Middling]

I would think you don't need to worry about gram conversion. I really don't see other recipe channels that do that. People can look that up if needed.

[@maryr7256]

I agree

[@maryellenschlaerth6217]

3rd recipe, maybe just use the egg yolk? Just thinking... Thx Dave

[@cryptobot5146]

The easiest way is to put college cheese in to a strainer and rinse it under water no mess and it’s pretty fast

[@stay-salty43]

Try adding some “sawdust” Parmesan to the cottage cheese as a binder maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@joanshelby8786]

You could do the pickle cheese bacon wrap with beef hot dogs

[@CookingWthDave]

Oooo yum

[@guyneace]

Hey Oh!!

[@arlenebrooks5163]

I watched a woman rinse her cottage cheese to get all the liquid off. You just put it in a strainer and run it under water. I have not tried it but it worked for her.

[@Unconventional_wisdom_au]

Cooking tip: blend cottage cheese then strain cheese overnight.

[@pterrydactyl]

Instead of cottage cheese would Rocotta, being drier, work?

[@shanonxoxox4007]

Add cream cheese to bind the ball

[@shanonxoxox4007]

Also you could add chopped jalapenos and or bacon crumbles into the cottage cheese/cream cheese mix and tht would be amazing

[@stormet54]

I weigh everything. I never use a measuring cup. The package will usually say 1/4 c (28g).

[@debbyblack8410]

I can’t wait to try

[@ccfd4813]

Sorry for the thumbs down but I am trying to stop KZbin from putting you on my list of recommended content. I never subscribed- I don’t know what you have that is impacting the algorithm but you come up more than the content I have subscribed to. You’re okay - just not my preference.

[@Robinw661]

Hi Dave- liked the meatballs.. Just fyi...a 'mistake of speaking' is called a 'Faux Pas'... Just put it in your pocket for next time😂 Great show

[@cheryldelacruz7731]

For the third one maybe you needed to squeeze more liquid out of the cottage cheese. Or like use another piece of cheesecloth and do it a second time. Possibly it was just still too wet.

[@KarlaLahue-q8r]

what about using a very large "cookie" scooper

[@gaurishukla376]

Can you please do a vegetarian version of this?

[@jessicacollier2499]

Add keto friendly bread crumbs or almond flour

[@aweeks6649]

If you start doing grams, you will need to give us ounces too....Some of us are in the US.

[@juliettewannet6594]

Also Grams please 🎉

[@amesstoday]

Everything looks good

[@patti-hk2pe]

dont put the egg in with the cc. instead, put a little of the porkrinds for the binder. all look good. try the chaffle next, if you havent already. my go to since im carnivore.

[@ellendevault4909]

In the U.S. please use cups or ozs.

[@lenalyles2712]

Instead of pickles I would try whole pickled jalapenos!

[@Unconventional_wisdom_au]

The cottage cheese chunks won’t bind. Next time use a small ice cream scoop to create the balls

[@gaylegooding2436]

I was sitting here tonight wanting something to snack on that was also high in protein so I tried making cottage cheese chips using nothing but cottage cheese (drained) and spices. FAIL! 😅 Why do all these cottage cheese recipes turn out great in the videos but not so much at home!😠 Another cup of cottage cheese in the trash! 😠 I do enjoy watching your loss carb videos and I'm def going to try the pickle thing (you can get huge pickles in a 1 gal jar at Walmart). The meatball thing looks great too, if I happened to have some ground meat sitting in the fridge.😅

[@jessicacollier2499]

MORE RECIPES

[@kerriemcelligott7604]

🤣🤣🤣...love your videos

[@CookingWthDave]

Thanks

[@ellceez]

Maybe fresh grated full fat mozzarella would’ve held it together without the egg binder? Hmmm

[@mariehoney31]

Dave, where do you get your aprons?

[@LadyBug..Reseller]

Use silicone ice cube trays or any mini muffin silicone mold to freeze your balls 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂

[@jessicacollier2499]

Or do the egg, but keep the mozzarella shredded (both responses are for the cottage cheese bites, my bad lol)

[@muditahobbs1771]

Thanks for the cup measures. I'm in Australia and also 70+ years. So no grams, cups and spoons please

[@trinade3732]

Try testing recipes before videoing. It took you longer than 4 mins to open the bacon package let alone whole prep time. Use a fork to take out pickles, just the oils and bacteria on your fingers will contaminate the juice. You might have washed your hands before you started but you touched jars, packages and other things.

[@elizabethh7614]

Add some almond flour or keto bread crumbs
