What I learned from #ScaleFreeSeptember

Dec 12, 2018MNKetoMomBlog#scalefreeseptember

For the month of September, I decided it was time to give up one of my strongest addictions: the scale. I had become obsessed with the number so much so that I was weighing in multiple times a day. It had even started to determine how the day would go.

Low Weight= Good Day

High Weight = Bad Day

Recognizing that it had become an issue in my life, I decided that on September 1st I would do my monthly weight and measurements, and the scale would be off limits for the rest of the month.

It started off great! September 1st brought a new low weight, and I felt really good going into this challenge.

And…that’s about where the feeling good ended for a while.

Jalapeño Lemon Chicken Thighs

Oct 19, 2018MNKetoMomRecipesAvocado Oil, Cast Iron, chicken, Instant Pot, Jalapeños, Lemon, main dish

For my birthday, we visited a locally owned place that is one of those places you visit only on fancy occasions without kids. Mike ordered the most amazing chicken thighs. “CHICKEN THIGHS?!” I thought. He complains when I make them at home, so I was SHOCKED he ordered them for a special occasion dinner. He had taken the waitress up on her recommendation, and I’m so glad he did!

They were citrusy, but with spice from the jalapeños. I’m sure their method was MUCH more complicated than mine, but I don’t have time for that! These turned out so delicious, tender, and flavorful. They will be on the menu at home more often!

Enjoy!

Salmon Cakes

Sep 30, 2018MNKetoMomRecipes

We often get stuck in a routine of: chicken, beef, pork. While that isn’t a terrible thing, it is nice to have some extra variety and add fish to the menu occasionally. Salmon is especially great because it is rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids and a good source of potassium. These quick and easy salmon cakes can literally be thrown together in no time, and I can promise you they will be devoured just as fast!

Enjoy!
