Keto Shake and Bake Chicken Recipe

I love easy dinners that my whole family can enjoy!

When you are trying to eat healthy, sometimes it is hard to think of meals that even picky eaters will ask for seconds of.

I knew that I wanted an easy chicken tender recipe that I could bake, but had a tasty batter that was keto friendly!

This is what I came up with!

On the plus side… I felt like making the batter and shaking the chicken to cover it in a bag made for easy clean up too. Win win for moms everywhere!

Tell me if this sounds familiar…

 

You find yourself REALLY wanting a sweet snack but knowing that you REALLY don’t need all the sugar?

 

That’s like my whole life right now! Managing my tendency toward gestational diabetes means that I really can’t deal with sugar or carbs so I’ve been experimenting!

 

Here’s my latest creation!

 

Low Carb Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

4 Low Carb Tortilla (I LOVE this one!)
1 Tablespoon of Butter melted
2-3 Tablespoons of stevia blend
1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon

 

Directions

Brush melted butter on each side of tortillas.

Mix stevia & Cinnamon together.

Cut tortillas into 6 triangles each and dip each side into stevia/Cinnamon blend.

Bake at 350 degrees on baking tray covered in parchment paper for 10 minutes.

 

Cinnamon Pecan Cream Cheese Dip

8 oz of cream cheese softened
1 tablespoon of stevia blend.
1/4 teaspoon on cinnamon.
1 Tablespoon of chopped pecans.

 

Directions

Beat together cream cheese, stevia, and cinnamon until smooth.

Fold in pecans.

 

Note: The stevia blend I use is a cup for cup substitute for sugar (this one is a good choice if you want to try it!). You can use any sweetener you like, just sweeten to taste.

If you are in the U.S., I hope you and your family have had a wonderful 4th of July! We celebrated and had a lot of fun shooting fireworks and enjoying our friends and neighbors (and we slept in a bit this morning!)

 

I decided to try something new I had been thinking over yesterday and I was so pleased with how it turned out!

 

What is great is that it uses low carb berries for a really great natural sweetener. This recipe is pretty versatile because you can use any berries you love and mix them up!

 

The girls hopped in the kitchen to help me whip together this yummy treat. After about an hour to let it chill, we all enjoyed a taste of the creamy “cheesecake” without any guilt at all.

 

I’m always on the lookout for a low carb treat that satisfies my sweet tooth! 

 

I can’t wait to hear what berry combinations are your favorite : )

 

 

 

Here’s my recipe for Red, White, and Blueberry Low-Carb Cheesecake!

Ingredients:

8oz Cream Cheese
1/2 C Heavy Cream
1 Tbsp of “cup for cup” stevia blend
A couple drops of liquid stevia
Pinch of salt (I use Pink Himalayan Salt normally)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of blueberries
1 cup of chopped strawberries

 

Directions:

1- Beat the Cream Cheese until creamy.

2- Add stevia blend, and stevia drops, vanilla, and salt.

3- Add the Heavy Cream and whip until smooth.

4- Fold in berries (you can use whatever kind you like best!)

Put in a container and refrigerate for a couple hours until dessert!

Serves 4, ENJOY!

 

 

 

 

It’s just that simple! It’s delicious and has no added sugar (just the fruit), so even managing Gestational Diabetes I’m good to go!

 

What’s your go to healthy summer dessert?

Chocolate makes everything a little better doesn’t it?

I’m always on the hunt for chocolate snacks that satisfy with my sweet tooth without overloading me on the sugar!

 

Note: If you didn’t know, I have struggled with Gestational Diabetes with each of my pregnancies, here’s some info on how I beat it naturally!

 

Given my history and just being honest with myself, if I don’t find sweet things (with chocolate hopefully!) that is satisfying I’m going to end up chowing down on cookies or ice cream.

 

Thankfully I have a new favorite (and SIMPLE) recipe!

 

Check out my recipe for a 1-Minute Chocolate Muffin in a Mug!

 

 

 

Here’s the Recipe Breakdown:

 

Ingredients

1 Egg
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
1/2 tsp of baking powder (I prefer an Aluminum Free option if possible)
Pinch of salt
1 tsp of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of almond butter (try to stick with unsweetened if possible!)
1 packer of stevia sweetener (my preferred no calorie sweetener)

Directions

  1. Grease a large mug (I usually recommend Coconut Oil)
  2. Mix all the ingredients together.
  3. Microwave for 1 minute on high

And that’s it!

 

I’m simple, yummy, and has almost no sugar (and a little protein from the egg!)

 

What’s your go to healthy snack?

The Day I Failed My Gestational Diabetes Test

Posted by Angela Parker

8 years ago… I was in my second trimester of my first pregnancy…

Everything was going well…

until I was 28 weeks and went for my gestational diabetes screening test.

 

I thought “I’m the healthiest person I know!” I got this!

 

But when my results came back that I had failed…

I was crushed.

I was shocked.

I felt all alone.

 

I needed a plan, but I honestly didn’t have any support system set up for myself.

All the recipes I had were “healthy” but used grains, beans, fruits, starchy vegetables.

 

Nothing I normally ate or cooked would work anymore.

 

I sat at the kitchen table every night for two weeks and cried.

 

Thankfully, now I have some (actually good!) low carb meals on the plan!

 

This week (I’m 16 weeks pregnant now with my third baby), as I was sitting down at the table… instead of crying, I was meal planning.

 

And it made me think… what is different here? 

 

I’m in the same situation (albeit 8 years later!) and I possibly have the same diagnosis as I did 8 years ago, but this time…

I feel empowered.

I feel prepared.

I feel healthy. 

 

On my piece of paper I wrote:

> Low Carb Tacos
> Guacamole & Bacon Open Faced Burgers
> Chicken Salad on Lettuce Wraps

 

The only difference was now I had my tool box.

I already have a pantry with products and staples to make healthy low carb recipes.

I already know what to eat.

 

Maybe you are thinking about changing your diet… but you feel lost – “What would I even eat?!?!” You may be asking…

 

What if you had everything you needed to set yourself up for success right from the start?

 

  • Recipes
  • Problem Solving Tips
  • Inspiration

 

Would that change how your experience went?

Probably you would get better results too! 

 

Listen to my story here and how everything changed for me:

 

 

I ended up writing an e-book about my experience and process of beating Gestational Diabetes using ONLY diet. I hope it can be of use to you if you or a loved one is struggling with this!

What to Look at FIRST Reading Nutrition Labels

Have you ever been at the grocery store and spent hours reading label after label trying to figure out WHAT SHOULD I EAT!?!

It can be confusing, right? 

 

There is so much information out there about what is healthy…

What should we even look at when reading a nutrition label?

 

I’m going to make it SUPER simple for you and give you the very first thing that I look at when reading labels.

This will probably eliminate a lot of foods that aren’t healthy – and save you time reading the rest of the label – haha.

 

Watch: What I look at when Reading Nutrition Labels

P.S. One really simple idea at the grocery store is to shop the perimeter. There won’t even be nutrition labels on those foods! When I started eating healthier, that was the very first move I made.
