Keto Inspo

for brunch! One of the most beautiful things about chaffles is that they can be as little or as much fuss as you’re willing to make. This morning, I stepped up my game a little to add 1T almond flour, 1t baking powder, a squeeze of vanilla extract, and 1/2t @oooflavors maple syrup. I topped them with @kerrygoldusa and @choczero Maple Syrup and they were truly next level. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2vIcDts

@modernimages and I are lucky enough to have a full freezer, fridge, and cart full of food and pantry items. I decided to make meal planning a game with - pull the most accessible item from your freezer/fridge/pantry and make a meal out of it! (Oh yeah, and make it and friendly, too!) Tonight is Teriyaki Chicken and Cauli Rice Stir Fry. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/33EGUpP

Since my job is still open and I’m still reporting to work, I can’t call this a so it’s more of a instead. @friendshipdairies Keto-Friendly cottage cheese, a handful of sliced almonds, 2 tablespoons of @lilys_sweets dark chocolate chips, and a packet of erythritol. It’s packed with protein but tastes just like cannoli filling. Win! posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/392qBUF

One of my favorite mealtime secret weapons is the Pork Belly from @traderjoes. It comes already cooked, so I just slice it and fry it up in a pan until crispy. The rendered fat make a perfect base for sautéing up your favorite veggie. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/3b2xRkF

I have spent more nights than I care to admit coming home after a long, stressful day and stuffing myself with Taco Bell. My urge to swing through the drive thru was purely out of habit tonight, since I’ve been doing and feeling SO well on keto lately, but I also kind of felt the need to prove to myself that I could resist the temptation and stick to plan. It’d definitely not clean, healthy, or a staple in my diet. But it’s nice to know I can still get down with Taco Bell every once in a while. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2w5JuIK

One of my favorite drive thru treats: Diet Dr. Pepper with diet cherry flavor added. Drinks are half priced when ordered ahead with the @sonicdrivein app, so this baby was just $1.85! Admittedly it’s not the cleanest treat, but way better than a sugary smoothie or coffee drink! posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2W03De2

Maple sausage patties and eggs scrambled in butter: and oldie but goodie. It was so delicious and filling enough to hold me over through work. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2TD3yeA

Love that my air fryer can do double duty to make lunch before work and dinner to bring along with me. I put 2 @butcher_box salmon portions and 1 @lidlus cod portion in the air fryer to cook up. I put a piece of salmon over kale salad topped with cucumber, pumpkin seeds, EVOO, and lemon juice to make a filling and nourishing dinner tonight. I’m pairing the rest of the fish with some air fried sprouts for lunch to hold me over. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2In9YrZ

Breakfast (which I remembered to photograph halfway through 😅): 2 eggs scrambled in a tablespoon of @kerrygoldusa butter and a mini avocado, all with some @traderjoes EBTB seasoning on top. I’m currently processing a whole metric ton of sh-tuff right now and will elaborate soon, when I’ve made a little more sense of it myself. Until then, I will continue to use this platform for the same reason I came to it nearly 2 years ago: to hold myself accountable to my guidelines and goals, to keep myself motivated when things get tough, and to connect with like-minded people. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2VkBYnB

I’m back! After working 5 days of open-to-close shifts (53 hours total 😫) I took yesterday off for some retail and smoked BBQ therapy. This morning, I’m embracing my inner Norse with 2 @traderjoes GF Norwegian Crispbreads topped with cream cheese and EBTB smoked salmon and a few cucumber spears, and a cup of @nespresso Nordic Black espresso. So savory and satisfying! posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/326rv0D

Catching up from Monday night’s dinner: lamb chop and a Greek salad. I used @daksspices Super Greek and @redmondrealsalt Garlic Salt on the lamb chop and air fried it at 400 for about 18 minutes. The salad is lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sliced onions, kalamata olives, feta cheese crumbles (thanks @wholefoods and @traderjoes for enabling my and @primalkitchenfoods Greek Salad Dressing. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2w61pia

My last indulgent meal of the weekend: surf and turf enjoyed with wonderful company at a perfect table overlooking the Great South Bay to celebrate my mom’s birthday. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/38e4qeD

Ribeye perfection with a side of béarnaise for dinner last night with friends. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2HaUjLQ

Tuesday morning after we got back, I asked my husband if he had any ideas for dinners to help us meal plan for the week. My jaw dropped when he said salads. (In all fairness, I think he surprised himself too 😂) Last night we did a southwest steak salad with romaine lettuce, bell peppers, cucumber, tomato, cilantro, and @primalkitchenfoods Cilantro Lime Dressing (which was outstanding). I added avocado and cheese to make mine more friendly and his included black beans and corn for a more @ww friendly meal. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2vNthaH

A few weeks ago, I picked up a frozen duck breast from @lidlus and stashed it away for a rainy day. That rainy day was this morning. I defrosted it from yesterday in the fridge then air-fried it for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. I paired it with some eggs for a very keto breakfast. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/31s2sEV

Yesterday’s OMAD: ribeye steak, runny eggs, and Brussels sprouts. I got to catch up on some sleep, take a warm shower, and refuel on food before a short shift at work. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/3bdnz2b

My pulled pork and broccoli slaw made a repeat performance for lunch today. I ate the pork plain and mixed the broccoli slaw with sesame oil, rice vinegar, red onion, and cucumber. Same food, totally different flavor profile, and just as delicious as last week’s BBQ pulled pork and coleslaw. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2RAi6e8
