Keto Meal Prep | Lean Protein PSMF Meatballs (StayFitness), Lasagna Buns and Cannoli Buns

[@indianhippygirl]

I enjoy your program, immensely. Greatly appreciate all the links you provide, equipment and products used, you are so thoughtful. Love to watch as you are very thorough and informative. Thank you, thank you!

[@Aurora3242]

Winner, winner, italian dinner -It all looks so yummy, thanks Anita! 🥰🤩😘

[@KetogenicWoman]

You are so welcome! 😂

[@gayebaxter715]

You mentioned cabbage rolls. Instead of rice I think that would make an awesome psmf meal. Use psmf bread crumbs with lean ground meat plus seasoning. Wrap in cabbage leaves and simmer in tomato/ water seasoned broth. Yummy

[@KetogenicWoman]

yeah, I just love cabbage rolls! My Mom and Gramma (Russian heritage) they never used rice in their cabbage rolls, it was all meat! They were super tender, my Mom would bake them for hours on low in the oven.

[@markiangooley]

I need to try some more of these recipes. I’m doing Wednesday through Friday every week on PSMF, the other days on high-fat near-carnivore, and so far I hate every PSMF day and almost all the low-fat foods I eat.

[@KetogenicWoman]

I cannot do consecutive PSMF days at all. I do alternate days only because then I only have to make it through 1 day and I know the next morning I can have a rib eye or some pork belly.

[@kathy32850]

She did add an egg white to the meat balls but it wasn't listed in her recipe. Thanks for the link.

[@KetogenicWoman]

Oh! I totally missed that! It was great without it but next time I make it I will put it in and see how I like it. Thanks for the info!

[@bonnie8522]

Yes….. cabbage rolls or maybe haluski with cabbage and protein noodles in place of spaetzle.

[@KetogenicWoman]

Yes, will have to plan something!

[@pershabesenfelder7826]

You are my favorite. You are so polite and always give credit to whoever you need too and thanks for the recipes for the PMSF bread. I don’t really like it too much but I have a hard time hitting my protein on those days. I also can not give up dairy totally on PMSF days I just can’t and if I try it makes it worse for me. Thanks for this video I am Sicilian Italian and my mom made home made pasta every weekend and then we had leftovers on Wednesday before church so I love Italian food. I’m going to try every thing you made

[@KetogenicWoman]

Thank you so much for this! I'm with you on the dairy, I sneak in a little here and there and it keeps me sane. I do have a couple of protein sparing pasta noodle recipes on youtube, I think they would go nice with the meatballs and a little marinara! When I was little we had some Italian neighbors and I was jealous of their food! Even though we also had a spectacular amount of great food (think cabbage rolls and peroshki) to me those things were same old same old but my Italian neighbors seemed exotic. Now I appreciate what we had too!

[@pershabesenfelder7826]

@@KetogenicWoman yes I love cabbage rolls as well. I am going to try the noodles. I am not always the best at cooking new things lol. I think I have watched ever noodle video that you do. Keep doing what you do I love the videos

[@bonnie8522]

Thank you for sharing! I never thought of using the PSMF bread to make breadcrumbs. I might slightly toast the bread before running through the food processor. I want to try it in meatloaf as a substitute for breadcrumbs or pork panko.

Sounds great! I'm definitely trying a meatloaf next!

[@tamitarekolayan9918]

Omg Anita! You got my mind spinning about cannoli’s!!! I was going to make in a hot dog roll pan almost like an eclair layer with the ricotta cheese, flavored with almond extract and when cooled dip ends in chocolate or Pistachio nuts. I would kill for some right now!! Lol

Not fond of the egg white bread,I find it chewy and like styrofoam so I will try try to use it to make those meatballs,Thanks for recipe

[@KetogenicWoman]

Hope you enjoy! But give my BBBE Bread a try, it's here on youtube as well. Lots of people are loving it and no styrofoam, no sweeteners in it!

[@RV-there-Yet]

I'm supposing no egg binder in meatballs because the breadcrumbs are egg white? Did you find that was enough to keep them from being crumbly? Considering that sweetener blend is mostly allulose with a tiny bit of monk fruit, it makes sense it would behave the same. =) WONDERFUL "Italian Week" ideas!

[@KetogenicWoman]

They held together really well! I didn't think of it but yeah, I think it helps that the crumbs are egg white.

[@mariannatodd7010]

Intrigued! My mother is Italian, and I would be very interested to learn how to make our favorite Italian dishes low carb.

[@KetogenicWoman]

I love converting foods over to keto or low carb! Make some suggestions and I'll see what I can do!

[@mariannatodd7010]

@@KetogenicWoman I was so touched by your willingness to share your expertise in this! Once I learned how to make your carnivore egg noodles, it really opened up many of the recipes that I grew up with, that can now be easily adapted to keto and low carb. I do plan on learning how to make the PSMF bread, as soon as I take the plunge and get some powdered egg whites. I plan on making the noodles for my parents and grandmother as soon as I can visit them. I wanted to take time to figure out what has been really stumping me for dishes my mother taught me that I don't know how to keto-adapt. One is ravioli. The other is Easter bread: a yeasty, lemony and very eggy (whole eggs) braided bread. I actually have never made ravioli from scratch, we always got store bought, but I can share the Easter bread recipe with you, if that would help give you an idea what it's like flavor wise.

[@KetogenicWoman]

@@mariannatodd7010 We have some Italian shops around here and I'm sure I've seen the Easter bread. Breads of course are a major challenge! I'll look at some recipes online to get an idea.

[@jillwall9703]

Love all of your videos! You are so creative and smart to think of ways to make “normal” foods Keto friendly. I do have a question about the bread. I have tried several times and mine always come out squishy or eggy. I have tried longer cooking but does not seem to make a difference. Do you think I should add more egg powder or less maybe? Any suggestions will be appreciated. I use your recipe and Maria’s but cut in half.

[@KetogenicWoman]

The bread seems to have a mind of it's own sometimes I swear! Squishy and eggy suggests to me either not baked long enough or not enough dry powder. It seems that we all have our own tweaking to do because what is dry to me might be too moist for another. So play with the amounts! Have you read this article yet that I put together? I'm trying to compile all the things into one place: ketogenicwoman.com/egg-white-bread/

[@jillwall9703]

Thanks for the response, really appreciate it.

[@12850dw]

I don't have an air fryer. Do you have suggestions for oven temperature and baking time?

[@KetogenicWoman]

I would try 375 for 15 minutes, depending on what size you make the meatballs.

[@nannybodynn5244]

Could you link your air fryer please? I like how it opens and how big the basket is. TIA.

[@signalfire6]

Could whey protein powder be substituted for the egg white powder? I've got a whole big jar of the stuff here and it's going to waste. I didn't like it at all for drinking, I'm looking for another use for it, especially since it was expensive and easily available if it works for some recipes. I just found your site last night and I've been watching several - great ideas and I really like your demeanor; calm and not over the top excited about every little thing. The recipes should sell themselves :)

[@KetogenicWoman]

I've honestly really tried to make the PSMF bread videos using whey powder. It's been a dismal failure and I can't get past the smell. I know that there are people who do bake things using the whey protein and it's probably because I'm trying to fit the PSMF macros when I choose my ingredients. So if you are keto and not doing PSMF, look up whey protein recipes on youtube and I bet you will find some good stuff!

[@GIRLINA101]

Once again, thank you for sharing such great recipes!! The one thing that I still find confusing is how to accurately calculate macros for meatballs/meatloaf, since some of the fat cooks out. So, if cronometer says that 1 pound of 90/10 ground beef has 44 grams of fat, how much of that fat remains after cooking?

[@KetogenicWoman]

When I calculate macros I do the macros for cooked extra lean gr beef, not raw. So I'm hoping they have accounted for it. I am not willing to worry about it beyond that effort!

[@scsmiles1]

I love your recipes and your journey toward health.. Do you prepare all your mother's food where she is living or is she eating the standard American diet?

[@scsmiles1]

The way you and I eat are not for weight loss but for health. We all have the choice to have food to be good, better and best.

[@KetogenicWoman]

They prepare all her meals. I try to show up for various meal times a few days a week so that I can see what she is eating. I would describe the cooking there as good wholesome home cooking, there is always a meat protein, vegetables and of course a starch. But all the foods are cooked onsite from scratch, I really can't complain about the cooking there at all. They even get the seniors who are willing and able to come into the kitchen and help cook which gives them a sense of purpose. They do their biggest meal at noon, dinner is usually a home made soup. Yes, she's eating carbs but I was not able to do much about that while she was living here either. My sisters and other family members always loved to bring her favorite foods over.

[@EverythingNice4Dolls]

What kind of ricotta cheese did you use? Low-fat or whole milk ricotta. I was wondering because the low fat has more carbs.
