Week 2 In The Life Of a Keo Diet

Planning and prepping are key to a successful Keto Diet. Really, it is key to any good eating plan. It’s the biggest mistake to wait until your starving, standing with the refrigerator door open, begging it to miraculously provide something delicious and nutritious and only then to figure out what your going to eat. This usually ends up with cookie dough from the freezer and someone’s leftover pizza being stuffed into your face while you stand over the kitchen sink.

Lynns Creamy Pesto Keto Chicken

This recipe I learned from my mother-in-law Lynn, she was the first to introduce us to the Keto Diet about a year ago. Back then I barely understood the concept, but she has persevered and lost a lot of weight on the Keto Diet. This past week we visited them and spent a week eating delicious Keto meals. From a Smoked Rib Dinner with all of the sides, to Beef Brisket, Jalapeño Poppers, Scallops, Hot Wings and much more. We never felt like we were dieting and still gathered around the table each night to nourish our tummies and hearts. It’s what family is all about, good conversation, good card games and enjoying time around the dinner table.

No Comments
Jalapeño Poppers, easy just remove the seeds, fill with cream cheese and top with bacon, broil until crispy on top!

The first time we tried these Cheese-Stuffed-Bacon-Wrapped-Spicy-Wonders-of-the-Appetizer-World was about 13 years ago in Hawaii. We were visiting friends on the island and they whipped up a BBQ extravaganza including Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers! I’m not sure if it was the friends, the beach scene of the Jalapeño Poppers but we never forgot them and promptly made them part of our cooking repertoire.

A Week Of Keto Meals!

So what exactly does someone on a Ketogenic diet eat? I was a little baffled on this in the beginning too. Is it like the Atkins diet that was so popular several years ago when people ate all protein and could eat copious amounts of bacon and butter? Well, I guess it’s similar but technically the Keto diet should be all veggies and healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, seeds, nuts and a healthy source protein like eggs, fish and meat. What you can’t have is carbohydrates like wheat, corn, rice, potatoes or beans. Most fruits are not allowed either with the exception of berries.

With Keto Version and Gluten Free!

In California it is very common to enjoy all of the many delicious recipes and foods of Mexico. I first ate this soup in my 20’s, it was prepared by a friend who was not of Mexican decent but being from Southern California she always loved a good Taqueria! We were always on the look out for the best nachos or those huge burritos stuffed with carnitas, beans, rice, cilantro, onions and chili.

Cranberry sauce and peanut butter

Wow! This is so easy I don’t even think I should write a blog about it. But it is also so good that I think everyone on Keto should know about it. My husband said it is what made his Keto turkey dinner so enjoyable. Of course, I’m sure my Cauliflower “mashed potatoes” and Turkey helped too!
