Recipe Blue Cheese Butter Recipe (Easy Compound Butter for Steak) Easy blue cheese butter with garlic and herbs. A simple compound butter that melts over steak, burgers, veggies, or baked potatoes for bold flavor. Ingredients • ▢ 

½ cup butter (one stick) salted preferred or add ¼ teaspoon kosher salt if unsalted butter • ▢ 

½ cup blue cheese crumbs • ▢ 

1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped • ▢ 

1 teaspoon basal • ▢ 

2 cloves garlic crushed Instructions • Allow the butter to come to room temperature. You can also microwave it briefly—about 15–20 seconds, flipping halfway.
 • Combine the soft butter with ½ cup of blue cheese crumbles, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of dry basil, and 2 cloves of crushed garlic in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
 • Spoon the mixture onto parchment or wax paper and roll into a log. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours to firm up.
 • Slice into 1-tablespoon pats and serve on steaks, vegetables, or anything hot.
 Notes Pro Tips 1. Use softened butter—it makes mixing easier. 2. Salted butter is preferred. If using unsalted, add ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt per stick. 3. Any blue cheese will work. Crumbles are easiest; ½ cup is about 2 ounces. 4. Store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze pats flat in a sealed bag for 2–3 months. 5. Great on steak, vegetables, burgers, potatoes, or stirred into rice or noodles.

I think that is why it has grown on me. It is easy quick and convenient. Scott

I would go on amazon.com and get 'Common Sense Labs ', a book by ken berry. I do not use any OTC Tests kits, most are expensive compared to: Go online to Own Your Labs (OYL) and oeder the Labs you want. And pay. Go to Lab Corp, make an account, your name must match your OML ACCOUNT. OYL will send u an email, print it and take it to a lab corp for your blood draw, they will email u the results. You can not do this in the states of NY, NJ, RI, AND TWO other states, I forget which. I know A1c and lipid panel are 8 dollars each. I would recommend A1c, lipid panel, fasting insulin, and a Cmp.

God blessed me in mt allergy to Statins !

I chose a pellet smoker for ease and convenience as it is my first smoker. It was super easy, I am looking forward to doing wings and Turkey as well. Smoked is the only way I have ever really enjoyed turkey, my uncle usually smokes one for Thanksgiving.

We cook on wood most of the time. The pellet grill has grown on my but I'm still a wood guy at heart. We do chuck roasts and London broils similar to brisket and they turn out super. We have two London broils going for Football Sunday in the cabin. Nothing like wood cooked food. Scott

The roasts came out great! I cooked them to 204 degrees so they turned out like briskets. I had some plain the first day, in scrambled eggs yesterday and I am planning on making a soup with some today.

I love smoking meats. I’m old fashioned and use what we refer to as a stick burner, also known as an offset smoker. I modified mine earlier this year when I installed a new fire box and turned it into a reverse flow. As I’m typing this I’ve got two tri tips and three racks of baby back ribs on it. Let us know how those chuck roasts came out.

I find it both funny and sad that doctors are so ignorant. I have the same kind of doctor. He thinks I’m killing myself but at the same time praises me for my weight loss, reversal of my crones, IBS and atrial fibrillation. He just can’t get past the cholesterol. Lol. You aren’t missing anything by being allergic to statins. They are worthless and don’t do anything for you. They are nothing but a money making scam for Big Pharma.

Your LDL is a non issue. Mine is the same as yours according to my last blood draw. Your Triglycerides are high. Ideally you’d like to see them under 100. I don’t know how long you’ve been carnivore or how strict you are but if you are eating right that number should come down in time. Your HDL looks good. A good indicator of potential cardiovascular risk is your HDL to Triglyceride ratio. Yours is 2.8 which high. It would be best if you could get it down under 2.

Sort of the same boat with my primary doctor. And it is sort of ironic. "I'm super happy with your positive results without medicine but I would still like you to try a statin on non-stating for cholesterol". My Neurologist is totally impressed with my results but not ready to use carnivore as a recommendation or a prescription for other patients similar to me. But he did say he wished a lot of his patients would contact me and try my path for their health. Maybe somewhat ironic too, the difference being he suggests I continue what I am doing. It is working and working well. Scott

WOW! on the 11 lbs in a week. I did 8 once but that included a fast as well but 11 is super impressive. I don't think there is any cookie-cutter advice on satiety and when someone will be hungry. We are different and our daily outputs are different. Hunger can come at just about anytime for anyone. What helped me during the early months was drinking water. If I felt the least bit hungry I would drink some water. Most of the time the hunger subsided with water. If the hunger persisted after the water I would eat. Those times varied and in time the hunger stretched to 24-30 hours. I didn't really snack after I started carnivore. Maybe the water counts? not sure. LOL. I would say a spoon of peanut butter is not going to be the end of the world as long as it does not trigger the cravings for more carbs/sugars. Almost like a gateway drug. I have read where people cook hamburger patties and leave them in the refrigerator for snacking purposes. Great progress. Good luck as you continue. Scott

Yeah Quest seems to be the one that most use. I personally don’t get mine done on my own. I just go through my doctor. He’s not hip to what I’m doing and keeps asking me if I’ll go on a statin but I keep telling him no. It doesn’t bother me and in fact I get a kick out of trying to educate him. I did think I’m having any success but it’s still fun trying.

Wow! 11 pounds in one week? That’s wild. Generally 2 to 3 pounds is a good average. Congratulations on beating those cravings just don’t let that peanut butter bring them back. Eating until satiation is different for everyone but the standard thought is to eat until the food isn’t tasting good anymore. Eating plenty of fat is the key to satiation. I’ve found it hard to over eat as a carnivore. As long as I’m eating enough fat. Congratulations on doing so well.

So I started OMAD last Monday because I was eating too much still and the junk and sugar cravings were gone. It worked well, down 11lbs this week! I am pretty sure that is my biggest loss in a week ever. Most of the days I was not hungry until it was time to eat again but twice I got really hungry about 4 hours before it was time to eat. I am still figuring out how much to eat to keep me satiated. I obviously have not over eaten this week. My only cheat this week has been a small spoon of peanut butter after my meal. I know I need to eliminate that but its kind of been like a signal that my meal is over, kind of like a dessert. Very happy with the result though!

I use Quest Diagnostics. As far as bloodwork I get tested every three months between work and my Neurologist. I see him every six months and work requires a physical every six months. For the longest they landed about three months apart. I would just ask the Neurologist to add the lipid panel and testosterone. When my immune system numbers started to improved, I wanted to see them more regularly, so I contacted Quest Diagnostics for my ImG and ImA numbers. It was pretty simple. We have two in a couple of WalMarts near me so access was easy enough. Good luck and continued successes. Scott

Good day Carnivore friends, I have a very important question. My wife and I have been Carnivore for 4 months now and we have not done any bloodwork, we don’t trust our general doctors because they just want to load us up with pills. Allot of the Carnivore influencers we follow suggest doing at home testing, but we don’t know which ones are reliable or best, some that will let. You know exactly what we need to take and do to better our natural healing. Can some one recommend what truly works for you in terms of getting reliable bloodwork.

Activity level also plays a role. There is more fat in the blood at any given time but it is moving and being used for energy. Increase the activity with things as basic as walking and those numbers can adjust some but within the numbers there is a lot more efficiency of fat intake/fat used/fat stored. Scott

True.

Well, IMHO, not super bad. In part it depends where u at on your journey. If you earlybin your journey you got numbers to compare to next blood work. If u can eat close to zero carb. Retest b in 3 to 4 months.

That is what I mean by sky rocket.

HDL 87, TRi 59, LDL 161, TOT 260 Are from 2 months ago, Triglyceride abd HDL are very nice. I not worried about LDL. Some go up. Some down, some no change. I am allergic to ststins, so no dr discussion. Not sure what change is 'sky rocket'

Most of ours do but since cholesterol is an essential component to the human body and has very little if anything to do with cardiovascular disease it’s not something we concern ourselves with.

My hunger ebs and flows. A few weeks eating more a few weeks eating less, I never force it. Be well
