Vlogmas Day 17 ~ Cooking a Carnivore Budget Meal (Beef, Bacon, Butter & Eggs Skillet) Chatty Vlog!
On Vlogmas Day 17, I'm cooking a carnivore budget meal - a little something I like to call "Beef, Bacon, Butter & Eggs Skillet." I made it up, but it was really good. Also, I'm talkative today, so I hope you're ready for a chatty vlog. Thank you so much for hanging out with me!

Thank you so much for watching! Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment to let me know what you think!
Honestly the early morning shots of you guys all grumpy on the couch makes you guys so relatable I love it. ❤️
OH and I guess it's a scientific thing that women in their late 30's, early 40's are more likely to have twins. ❤️
I love Early Morning Andrew 🤣🤣 I love seeing Andrew in general. You two are my favorite internet couple ❤
Aww, thank you so much! 💜💜
We love early morning Andrew! Make sure he knows we love him
I will most certainly let him know! Lol
Are you American by any chance?? Genuine question? It’s just most people are brought up knowing you should never speak for other people. It’s just a faux pas that most nationalities know not to do as it is rude. So you can say “I love early morning Andrew” but don’t say “we”. But I’ve realised everytime I’ve come across someone who go doesn’t know this very basic manners, they are American. Which isn’t surprising at all. As they are known for having no manners. And you’re just another example clearly. (iF you are American. But I’m sure you will be. Or Canadian) and you say you’re “part…” some other nationality then you’re the biggest American stereotype there is. 😂 standing joke that you guys all are desperate to say you are ANY other nationality than just plain old boring American.
I have no words to describe how much peace your vlogs bring me. I also lost a baby to IC and I have struggled for the last 4 years to find someone to relate to. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I love watching your daily Christmas vlogs. Thank you for continuing to vlog for vlogmas. Baby dust to you and Andrew✨🖤
I'm so sorry you had to go through that, Kat. I know how lonely and isolating it can be. I'm glad I can bring you a little bit of peace. I feel like it's something that will never heal, no matter what you do. But it gets easier to deal with as time passes.
My mother drank at least 5 cups of coffee a day when she was pregnant with me! I am sending you all my love and prayers to you and Andrew. I love you both so much!
Thank you so much!!
When I was at my grandma's house while pregnant and said I couldn't have anymore coffee for the day, she looked at me like I had 3 heads! She said there were no coffeine limits back in her day and women drank like almost a whole kettle full of coffee throughout the day haha. But I sticked to quite close to my country's recommendations, drinking max 2-3 cups (2 was the recommended max amount here) 😅
@@larbakatariina1912 Wow tbh that is really sweet
I LOVE ANDREW! We need to see him as much as possible 😂
I just want you to know I have really been enjoying your videos, and I have been looking forward to them everyday. I appreciate all then time and effort you take to keep them coming. Coffee and Carnivore!
Thank you so much! Coffee and Carnivore, yes!! Lol
Here in Belgium we have a supermarket who works with some sort of baskets for delivery or ordered groceries. You pay a small fee for the amount of baskets you get, but you get that fee back if you return the basket to the store or with a future order/delivery. It's a pretty solid and environment-friendly system.
As a native Californian I remember my biggest culture shock traveling/then moving to a diff state was the amount of plastic bags 😂 I also worked as a grocery store cashier throughout college and there was always an air of shame around people who forgot their resuable bags haha. Nothing forces you to remember like the potential for public humiliation 😂 Anyways, delivery orders depending on the store will come in either paper or reusable bags (I have like 100s of reusable bags now I really need to recycle lol).
I always feel shame when I forget my bags even if I don't have to - because people around here don't care much. But I do!!
Don't give up hope! There is always hope, and good things tend to show up when we least expect it, at least in my experience. It's so good if your body is having a regular cycle!That is wonderful!
I have been living for your daily vlogs ever since you got started with them! I’m a long time viewer and never comment but I felt the need to today to say thank you for them! Your personality is just so enjoyable to view! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! 💜💜
Sleepy Andrew and Cindy are adorable 😩🫶🏻 I love y’all so much
Glad to hear you'll be filming you and Andrew opening gifts, that was so fun last year!
That meal looks so good! I watch your vlogs when I wake up in the morning and that looks like such a good breakfast right now. I think I will try it!
yayyy after a busy saturday with no time to watch youtube, a dose of Cindy was the perfect thing to come back to!!
Yay! I hope you enjoy your donated coffees. Also, we love early morning Andrew & Cindy! 🥰
I love the excitement on your face when he said the name of the coffee🥰
i love to see you both early in the morning. its just real and we all knoe that its not a normal thing on social media 💜 i just love watching your vlogs cause you can tell the effort you put in it. so much love to you both 💜
It’s always so enjoyable watching your videos Cindy, thank you for being yourself and sharing life’s ups and downs. Appreciate everything you do ☺️❤️
Thank you so much Josh! I really appreciate that! 💜
I saw you have a mashed potato masher in your kitchen. That works so well for ground beef. Give it a try. :) your vids are my first watch after a long days work. Such a comfort for me
Early morning Andrew is very relatable 😂
I can tell you felt so much better after your coffee and shower haha literally me. Sorry I'm late! I fell asleep early yesterday 😩. But now I have a vlog to watch after this one too so yayy.
A new Cindy vlog! Time to relax ❤
Thank you so much for watching Jordan!
@@LifePlusCindy thank you for the awesome videos!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been out with some friends and get back to already having the next one to watch!!! Yessss!!!🎉
P.S. I think we’ve all made mistakes like that. I accidentally put through my takeaway order the other day as collection when I don’t drive, luckily I was able to cancel and reorder though 😅
Love these vlogs 💖 I feel like I'm there. Just listening to the good and bad. It's feels warm 😌
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you like them! 💜
@@LifePlusCindy ur welcome keep it up
Awe. Extra hugs for Andrew. ❤❤
💜💜💜
I think it’s nice to you make muffins for Andrew coworkers, bcs you will be using the flour and sugar and not trowing it away. I know it’s hard to not slip on the diet, but it’s a cool way to use these ingredients that otherwise you will be throwing on the trash. And I want a muffin recipe :P
Lol! You may be right about that! I will consider it!
The temptation! I'm like that, I'm such a sweets fiend, especially when I'm stressed.
I reuse greasy paper towels as a fire-starter for the grill since they catch and burn so well
Yay more cooking! I love watching you cook 😊There are lots of good low carb baking websites/channels that make some really delicious stuff and anything like cheesecake tends to taste no different to regular ones and since they are mainly animal products, should fit carnivore as well, I hope you find some recipes that you like!
Maybe the 2 babies were August AND the little girl you’re going to have in the future! Let’s hope and figure out later!
I thought of that too! It might be!
yes we love early morning Andrew ! And early morning Cindy ! I feel like i can do relate w u guys as a university student who has to do all nighters and then go to classes early the next day 🥴
It's the worst!!
Love you two in the beginning 🥺🤣 so adorable 💕💫
Getting to the end of this one and sending all the baby dust and good vibes your way. You would be such a wonderful, loving mother and I hope it's soon for you guys! Love you Cindy! 💓
Thank you so much!!
Hey Cindy, I know you're doing carnivore now, but for what it's worth many keto/carnivore people I know, myself included, take a break around holidays. Don't beat yourself up over it if you do. The way I look at it is that out of an entire year, it's not going to compromise the bulk of the progress, especially if you bake keto friendly stuff. The last thing you want is to burn yourself out, which is equally important. I usually take a week off keto, however it's completely understandable if you don't trust yourself to get back on track as soon as the days are up, because I've been a food addict, struggled with weight, etc. so trust me I'm not being flippant I realize it's easier said than done in the beginning. However, maybe just allow yourself a day or two this year to start, don't completely deprive yourself. Treat yourself for doing well, so long as you know you have the discipline to get back on the horse, that is the only caveat, and only you know what you can handle. There's another Blogger/KZheadr, her name is Carolyn Ketchum, and I believe she is either pre-diabetic or has type 2, but she's been keto baking for over a decade, and I've bought most of her books because she is that good. I learned how to substitute refined carbs and sugar in all my favorite recipes thanks to her, so I highly recommend checking her out. I believe her channel is called "All Day I Dream About Food".. a name which basically sums up my existence lol. Much love, hoping you will progress beyond your wildest dreams which I'm sure you will manifest. Most importantly never give up, you hold the key to solving any and all problems, let the synchronicity flow. Xx
Thank you!! 💜
I look forward to your vlogs so much every day Cindy! Long time viewer and first time commenter, I just wanted to say thank you for doing these daily vlogs for us ❤ also so inspired by your Wicca channel, I’ve bought the first book you recommended from eBay and a gorgeous Llewellyn’s witches calendar for 2023. Was so interested in Wicca when I was a teenager and so excited to dive in again. I was looking for witchy KZhead/blog content just like yours! All the love to you and Andrew ❤
That's awesome, Katie! Thank you so much!
Girl the ground beef tool changed my life lol… you need one!
Canada has bagless Walmarts and they just give out re-useable bags if you forget yours. It’s pretty cool!
Everyday I look forward to your vlogs Cindy (: You’re such a strong woman and I admire your strength and positivity. Side note, I bought the book you recommended for beginners to Wicca, and I’m subscribed to your new channel. I look forward to more content and learning a thing or two from you!
Aww, thank you so much Evelyn! I appreciate that! 💜
haven't commented yet, but i am so glad youre on yt again! i loved listening to your winter vlogs everyday on my way home after work (i really like the fact that you always describe what you're doing when doing it!) - today i actually sat and watched the whole thing and oh my, your hair looks so pretty! such a nice shine.
Thank you so much! 💜
Don't throw the food away, spread it in the woods for the birds and animals!
When I lived with my parents they had one of those ground beef tools. They were a PAIN IN THE ASS to clean! 😂 I've been loving your vlogs Cindy!! I hope you continue when Vlogmas is over! 😄
Oh, then I think I will stick with my rice paddle! Lol. And thank you!!
Hugs to you and Andrew, Cindy. Somedays are worse than others. These past two days have been completely awful for me, and maybe things are getting worse. I'm happy to see you smile tho! Thanks for posting consistently, it's honestly one of the few things that I can do everyday.
🤗🤗🤗
The food looks delicious Cindy!!! Love your videos 💜
Thank you so much 🤗
I need to try this dish! Thanks again for vlogging, I love your personalities so much 💜 also a gift opening vlog would be great!
Thank you!! 😊
Wait, I'm not even carnivore but ground beef or homemade beef patties is like all I wanna eat! When I was doing lower carb, all I craved were eggs all the time hah. I feel you on the flour and sugar bit, my s/o has a eat-whatever diet lol and we live with his immediate family, so I can't throw away things and I gotta try to have tunnel vision in a sense (mostly I do fail) that I pretend I don't see bread etc in our communal pantry.
I feel you about wanting to have less waste. We have smaller tupperware we use just for dry crackers and stuff for my mom's lunches, plus a silicone bag for sandwiches lol. You could get a small rack and put the bacon on that to drain. Have it over large plate or something to dump off into the trash and wash later! If that helps? I started baking bacon on a rack in the oven for less mess. But yeah, trying SO hard to remember to bring reusable bags anytime we go out shopping lol. I hate having a huge pile of plastic bags. Anyways goofy rambling attempt at being helpful aside, best of wishes to you in your progress and journey 💌
First again finally!! love the vlogs keep ‘em coming!!! 🫣💗
Thanks so much Alexis! I appreciate you!
Hoping the best for your next cycle for trying for a baby 😍 just binged some of your older videos and I love that you had midwife care! I had a homebirth with my first and it was magical ✨ sending you all my baby dust 💫
Thank you so much!!
My favorite bacon cooking technique is to twist it into a stick and bake it. It tastes soooooo good that way.
Oh, that's a good idea!!
Hi Cindy! I think I understand what you're feeling when you talked about throwing out the sugar. I love to bake as well and I've not had a lot of time to do it this year...I miss it. Personally, I don't have a sweet tooth, so I actually enjoy baking things for others that I don't want to eat. I'm sorry you're struggling with this!
my heart aches for you a bit every time you apologize for not feeling well that day, it’s not something you need to say sorry for no need to be sorry about how you feel. anyway, as always i’m wishing you all the best and hopefully things will be better going forward. i’ve been really enjoying the vlogs and i find myself looking forward to them everyday now 😊💜
When it comes to your flour and sugar, maybe you could bag them up in one of those Ziploc bags and put them in your cupboard? That way you’re not throwing them away, but also not seeing them every day on your countertop.
That Beef, Bacon, Butter, & Eggs Skillet sounds so good! I have to make me some of that! 😋Thank You Cindy for another lovely Vlogmas video! Also, I just want to say you and Andrew make such a cute couple, especially in the mornings! 🥱😴💜💜💜
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching! 💜
You could use the sugar for face scrubs and such 😊 could go well with your soap making projects. You could make a whole set with the same scent, like a lavender soap and a lavender face scrub for example 😊
That's a good idea! I'll have to look into that!
This is the first or second vlogmas i watch so you probably already talked about it but oh my that stove is soooo hiiiigh
Hang in there Cindy! My husband and I are also trying for a baby and it is definitely a rollercoster ride. We’ve been at it for 7 months now but we are still hopeful. I’ll be finding out if it worked on NYE so we are about a week apart! Good luck! I’m sending tons of baby dust your way! ❤❤
Crossing my fingers for both of us!
I love when the vlogs are chatty,❤❤
I'm glad, because I have a lot more where that came from! 😄
Yes I love Andrew too! he's a good guy. You are doing amazing Cindy! I'm so happy for you. Just always do you know matter what. :)We all have bad days, and it's OK not to be strong!! big hugs.
Watching this after waking up and trying to start my day and I see ‘early morning Cindy & Andrew’. “Hi guys!” Sorry you are having a bad start of the day, but thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.
Thank you Mary!! Hope you're having a great holiday season so far!
My local grocery store delivers groceries in cardboard boxes, super convenient to carry inside! They can be folded too so they’re super thin, and some stores will accept the boxes back also so you can leave them next to the door and the delivery person can pick them back up.
Im jealous of you and your gas stove!! anyhoo, love you and your videos!!
😊 thank you!
I won't watch until tomorrow morning but i got the notification and had to say hi right away! Hi!!!
Hi!!! And thank you for watching tomorrow!
I can't wait to see y'all open parents!
You mentioned liking to bake muffins, have you tried using your muffin pans to make little baked scrambled egg cups? Since you use milk and cheese in moderation, i dont think the texture will be that off and you can probably change up the spices and add a meat to it to make it less plain. I know its not a perfect substitution for baking sweets, but it might be a good way to adapt the activity to your diet.
The dollar store has a tool called a meat masher that is awesome! Ope.. you just mentioned it lol
Yummy opening! 😆 😋 Sending you hugs Cindy. Be patient with yourself, it is a hard, big loss and you are still healing. 🤗 I have a container made for saving your bacon grease and when I fry things I use the bacon grease. It makes everything taste better 😋 (I am on the carnivore diet) When you are ready, you will be able to get rid of it, whether it is throwing it away or baking for a friend or someone 😊 I am going to make that dish! When you went to seal that I was saying, no the note! 😂 Have a great rest of your day!
Haha! Thank you Freya! And that's a great idea about saving your bacon grease. I used to do that when I ate bacon more often. Our griddle has a little grease collection pan, so it's really easy! I just don't cook it much anymore.
dude your hair looks awesome
Oh thank you!!
I've been letting go of a lot of my baking supplies this year by making Cookie in a Jar and Pancake in a Jar kits to give as gifts. I also used to give a lot of food gifts for Xmas and doing it this way has saved me a ton of money on eggs and butter (yowza right now) and a lot of the people I am giving them to have kids, so they get a fun activity to do with the kids... and in the end less work and temptation for me. You can find recipes for these everywhere.
That's a great idea!
Sul Sul Cindy!
I saw the Dr. Bronner's on the counter! Love that stuff, been using it for my dishes for years. If you haven't tried putting in a foaming soap dispenser you're only cheating yourself, it's so luxurious! I use it for hand soap too now, although it can be quite drying on the hands.
I use it for everything! Gonna make my own dishwashing liquid soon in a vlog and also start using it again for homemade herbal shampoo. I never put it in a foaming dispenser before, but that's a GREAT idea!
Hi loves! Just wanted to leave a comment telling you how much I appreciate you and all your videos! Your sim playlists are my go to when I'm stressed, bored, or can't sleep haha. I've watched your videos for years lol. So it's really cool to finally get to know you a bit more! I have liked, subscribed, and rang the bell for updates! If you see a lot of likes from me all at once, I'm not stalking you, I'm just catching up haha. Anyway...keep your head up girly and I wish you nothing but the best on your weight loss & pregnancy journey! Don't lose hope. Happy Holidays to you and your family! Stay safe!💙
Thank you so much! Happy Holidays to you too!
Hi Cindy! Grocery pick ups will most likely come in paper bags as least that's why they do in my state. Get ready to do the walk of shame back to the car to get your reusable bags lol
Dang.... now I'm hungry. I have to try making this, it looks good. Lol
Have you thought of making clay with that flour? There's a bunch of recipes usually containing salt and some kind if acid to make decorative items!
Oh, that's a good idea!
Cindy! I totally understand not wanting to put yourself face to face with a temptation. I was going to suggest baking as gifts for family and friends or a bake sale/give away to beggars as a Christmas/Yule gift, but if that can't be the case maybe you could give away the ingredients as is? if you guys have any young neighbors or co-workers they may not have stocked up pantries, baking supplies and nuts could warm their shelves. also if your city has a local freegan community you could give the supplies to someone through that? that may be the best bet and is a very supportive move in the no waste lifestyle!
i harvested some real mistletoe today
Oh, that's awesome! I wish it grew around here!
You might try putting the greeting cards on top of your tape. Make them be in the way so that on your way to get tape to seal packages, the cards are there. Or pre-fill packages with cards so they're in your way when loading stuff and you can pull it out if you don't need one. Maybe if they're an obstacle, you'll gain muscle memory for them? Anyway, that's what I would try!
Oh, that's a good idea!! I probably should put them on top of the tape!
THIS IS SO YUMMY! I HAVE TO TRY THIS! Have you ever considered doing meat roll for carnivore? It's literally ground meat seasoned and boiled eggs in middle and pop it in oven until done
No, but that sounds so good!! I will have to try it!
In the UK our grocery deliveries come in plastic crates and they bring you them one by one for you to empty out while they get the next one, they're so fast I end up just dumping it out in the kitchen
Oh, maybe they will do the same thing here! I'm ready because I'm sick of trying to recycle all these plastic bags they bring!
About the plastic bags: try beeswax sheets they’re in different sizes u can easily shape them to fit as you want with the warmth of your hands and easily wash with cold water. If they’re to expensive there are a lot of easy tutorials on how to make them your own and cheaper:)
Oh, thanks for the tip!!
I made stuffed peppers while watching today's vlog!!!!
Yum! That sounds great! And thank you for watching!
All the baby dust!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
We make that dish! We make "Mountain Man" in the cast iron dutch oven with potatoes on the bottom.
I freaking love ground beef, it's a comfort food for me.
I have Hope For You like I've Said Before And don't Stop Hoping I believe it will happen for You 💜 Also I love your shirt It's so cute!!
Thank you so much!! 💜
@@LifePlusCindy You're Welcome 💜😁
My grandma on my dad's side. Did not have kids until she was 39 had my dad and few years later my uncle.
I get it. Unfortunately grief just hits with no warning sometimes and an idle mind just isn't a friend. I started a couple of repetitive hobbies like crochet that help me blank my mind when it starts to get bad. You definitely aren't alone.
🤗🤗🤗
Love your shirt☠️
I agree I dont like super crispy bacon. My husband almost burns it when he makes it and I feel like I'm gonna break a tooth lol. I love your skull top, it's super cute!
Thank you!! 💜
Omg your Wal Mart is sounding like here in Hawaii with our full on plastic ban.
Maybe I'm crazy...but it looks like your hair is growing back into that spot. This diet is doing you do good !
Thank you! I really hope it is! I can see some tiny baby hairs where I didn't before. It's a slow process, but it's definitely getting better.
Eggs never last us long either. Used to be our cheap protein but they are so expensive where we live right now that they feel more like a luxury.
I like to use Stasher to store my frozen foods. There might be similar silicone products that are cheaper idk
I also order Dropps for laundry detergent. I prefer that to using plastic bottles.
In NYC they have stopped using plastic bags. They use paper bags for deliveries.
I would definitely prefer paper bags - or no bags at all!
Cindy, you should have a package in you P.O. Box, it said it was delivered yesterday!
Thank you! I just picked up a package today that I'm opening for tomorrow's vlog - and I have 3 more packages that were delivered after I left I will have to pick up tomorrow!
Yesterday's video about the burned meat my dad almost did that today he was making fajitas for dinner for my little sister who was coming from Germany for Christmas break and she in time we were done grilling.
Hi Cindy i love following ur videos every night! :D Do you have a schedual of how long u fast and when u fast? Or do you just do what you feel like? :)
I try to vary it up every week. I think it makes it more effective because your body doesn't get used to it. I fast daily from 14 - 24 hours, then once a week (most weeks) I do a 36 hour. I didn't make it to the 48 hours! Lol
@@LifePlusCindy oo okay thank you for sharing! ♡
Cooking bacon in the oven keeps them nice and flat. Also, if I plan on having cut up bacon in something, I usually cut it before I cook it, and it cooks a lot faster and easier.
I'm not sure if your Walmart is like mine but they told me they will hold the groceries for like either 24 or 48 hours after your pick up time. I too have accidentally scheduled pick up😩
Oh, I didn't know that! I will have to check. I think they should have some kind of prompt asking you if you're sure you want deliver/pickup because it's too easy to make that mistake!
Just got home from our family Christmas party.. only had ham didn't crave Ny sugary treats that were out.. I was going to let myself eat some just because but I didn't want any 😍
That's awesome! And I love that feeling! I had the same experience at Thanksgiving. I was just sitting at the table in front of a bunch of pies and didn't want any of them. I ate ham and turkey and it was great!
Andrew has the best mustache 😁
I read him your comment and he said, "Now that's a compliment I'll take." LOL
