Crispy Chicken Thigh Recipe

Leave a comment

Ever since I was a kid I absolutely loved friend chicken. Something about the crisp with the chicken was just amazing. Fast forward to adulthood where I’ve learned how fried food can be the worst for you 🙂

So, here’s a recipe for Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs, no breading included. This recipe is super easy and is ketogenic and low carb friendly! Bonus, my kids loved them & my husband even took cold leftovers to work and enjoyed them!

Recipe

  • 10 Chicken Thighs, skin on & bone-in
  • 4 TB Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • 21 Seasoning Salute, Trader Joe’s (Italian Seasoning Optional)
  • Cayenne Pepper, optional (not shown in video)

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, and on a lined cooking tray coat them with olive oil, skin side up. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, & additional seasonings. Place in oven for about 60 minutes, longer if you like the skin very crispy and the chicken more well done.

Serve with sautéed veggies, mashed cauliflower, zucchini noodles, and more! Use whatever you have in the house and enjoy a simple and easy dinner night at home.

Can you maintain weight loss after a ketogenic diet?

Whenever we start a new diet we’re told the same thing by people, “Once you stop you’ll gain all the weight back!” I’m sure it’s true for most diets and most people, but I’ve experienced something different with the keto way of eating!

Due to crazy summer life, amped up time at work, two productions, and just lack of planning, I’ve been off my keto way of eating for a few months. Guess what? I have not gained ANY of it back! How in the world does that happen? I contribute it to a few things:

  1. Keto helped me learn to make better choices
  2. I drink keto kreme with my coffee for breakfast each day
  3. A slight increase in physical activity
  4. Including ketones in my day, keeping me fuller longer
  5. My cravings have significantly changed.

Now that it’s fall and my life is coming together again I’m going to get back to my way of eating. Why? Because I feel absolutely GREAT when eating keto and feel absolutely HORRIBLE when I’m not. Want to join me? Comment below if you’re ready to dive into a healthier fall!

Nutty in All The Right Ways

I have to share the exciting news with you! Nutty Ketoman Kreme is back for a limited time and I don’t want you to miss it. For the majority of my adult life now I start my day with a coffee, as most people do right? Well for the past 8 months or so I’ve removed all cream and sugar from my coffee and instead add a packet (sometimes 1/2 a packet) of Kreme instead. Why? ↓

So yeah, it has DNA repair, reduces joint pain and inflammation, strengthens hair & nails, and so many other things. BUT what does it taste like? I think the Nutty Ketoman tastes like an Italian Praline Cookie, basically an Italian pastry, a Christmas cookie, etc. And what Jersey girl wouldn’t love that right?

How to Make It:

Personally, I mix mine in a shaker bottle with hot black coffee. But you can also mix it with iced coffee, or blend ice & milk of your choice with it for a yummy dessert!

My Reboot Story

Leave a comment

In January I started ketones and in March I did my first ever Keto Reboot! My transformation picture below is actually old now. I’ve personally lost over 30lbs. While I’m not trying to lose major weight anymore I am trying to stick to good habits and stay healthy, not go back to my old way of eating and thinking about overall health.

January // March
July

The Keto Reboots have done a few things for me:
1. Taught me about my relationship with food (MAJOR)
2. Removed Cravings
3. Broken Plateaus
4. Taught me about my own self disciple and control
5. Burned stored fat
6. Improved my skin (both breakouts & elasticity)
7. Shown me my strengths & weaknesses
8. Removed inflammation
9. Healed my digestive system
10. Gave me the confidence to charge after my goals

So I guess that’s more than a few, but you can see why I’m so passionate about not only ketones, but these monthly reboots!

The Reboot is done as a community. We grab the kits while available (JULY 5, TODAY, IS THE LAST DAY) and then all start together the night of the 15th. We support each other, encourage each other, and even have doctors and coaches that guide us along the way. I would love for our Reboot Community to grow! Are you in?

A Full Day of Eating Keto | Low Carb

Leave a comment

When you first start thinking about a ketogenic way of eating you can get quickly overwhelmed with the idea of “What do I eat?” and after eating this way for awhile you may even get bored of the same old things over and over again.

In this video I document an entire day in my life and show you what I chose to ate while sticking to a keto/low carb way of eating. This lifestyle can be super easy if you don’t over think it and just go for it.
