Perfect Pemmican
Pemmican is a concentrated food consisting of powdered meat, dried berries, and rendered fat. It was invented by the Native Americans and was widely used during the fur trade and Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. Pemmican can be stored at room temperature for several months, but I like to keep it in the refrigerator so it remains solid during warmer months.
Pemmican is the perfect food for humans because it's a very close analog to mother's milk (even whole cow's milk). One of these patties eaten mid-afternoon will hold me between lunch and dinner with no other snacking.
Ingredients
- ½ pound tallow or suet
- ½ pound bacon fat
- 1 pound completely dried beef (follow any jerky recipe, but use no marinade or seasonings)
- ½–1 cup dried blueberries (optional)
Instructions
Put the suet and bacon fat in a heavy oven-safe pan and bake at 250°F/120°C for 2 hours to render out excess water. If fat begins to smoke, turn the heat down until it stops. Slowly and carefully stir with a whisk every 30 minutes to ensure even melting and rendering.
Using a food processor, grind the dried beef into a powder.
Mix the beef powder and the blueberries (if used) in a heat-resistant bowl.
Once the 2 hours is up, add the liquid fat to the beef powder mix and combine completely.
Scoop the mixture evenly into the cups of a muffin tray and place in a refrigerator for 30–60 minutes to harden.
With a butter knife or spatula, dislodge the pemmican patties and wrap individually with wax paper or plastic wrap.
Comments
If you don't like the flavor of bacon fat, or you cannot eat pork for religious reasons, just substitute an additional ½ pound of tallow or suet. I personally just like the smokiness, which adds another level of flavor to the patties.
Please note: Lard and tallow bought from most big-chain groceries almost always contains partially hydrogenated lard. Do not eat partially hydrogenated ANYTHING if you have a choice. Be sure to check the ingredients label before purchasing. Alternately, get your lard/tallow/suet from a real butcher shop, and if you're unsure, ask them directly if the fat has been partially hydrogenated or not.

Craig's Sugar-Free BBQ Rub
Do you like BBQ sauce? Unfortunately, most sauces sold in stores are loaded with sugar, so I concocted a dry rub that gives the BBQ flavor, while requiring no sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 parts dry mustard powder
- 2 parts ground cumin
- 1 part ground cayenne pepper
- 1 part ground black pepper
Instructions
Place all ingredients into an empty salt shaker. Cover the top with a piece of plastic wrap, and shake to combine.
Comments
Just awesome. Shake a little bit over your meat 10–30 minutes before you go to cook it, and it'll get that BBQ flavor with no guilt. It's also good on potatoes.

Craig's Chocolate Milkfake
One of the biggest problems people have with low-sugar diets is the craving for something sweet, especially things like candy, chocolates, or ice cream. To alleviate this urge, I concocted a shake that satisfies my sweet tooth, yet is agreeable with the diet at the same time.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup lactose-free whole milk
- 4 egg whites or ½ cup liquid egg whites
- ½ tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Several ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Place all ingredients (except the ice) in a blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender at least once (cocoa powder doesn't always want to mix well).
You should get a thick liquid similar to cream. If you want more of a milkshake consistency, start adding and crushing some ice cubes into the shake until it reaches the thickness you desire.
Comments
The shake contains hardly any sugar at all (only from the banana and the little bit in the milk) and plenty of protein (from milk and egg whites). Bananas are loaded with all sorts of essential vitamins and minerals, and cocoa is good for your heart.
Keep in mind one of these fills your fruit allowance for the day, so adjust the rest of your meals accordingly.
