Meal Plan: Week 4
…
Keto Chow
Puppy chow isn’t for puppies, but keto chow is for keto followers. Puppy chow is the perfect combo of sweet and crunchy, and this version doesn’t disappoint. In fact, the little extra saltiness in this makes me like it almost MORE than the original. It was a great test of willpower for me to walk away and not eat the entire bowl!
Enjoy!

My Egg Roll in a Bowl
Egg Roll in a Bowl was one of the first low carb meals I made. There are tons of different recipes out there for it, but I found ways to make it more convenient to throw together during the week on busy nights. Whenever we make this, I make a double batch. We end up eating it multiple times in the week, and I like it even better the next day after the flavors have mingled in the fridge.
Enjoy!

Easy Mason Jar Blue Cheese Dressing
One of the biggest misconceptions of keto is that you only eat bacon, butter, and cheese. In reality, we add a salad to dinner almost nightly, and this easy blue cheese dressing is the perfect way to add extra fat and flavor. It can be quickly mixed up with minimal dishes and stores great in the fridge for the week making it a great item to add to your weekly meal prep. Tastes so great you’ll be looking forward to your nightly greens (or make you crave some buffalo wings)!
Enjoy!

“Potato” Salad
Summer is quickly drawing to an end. Potato salad is one of those things that screams summer. Making a low carb version was a must for barbecues. This recipe is quick and easy to whip up, but plan to do it in advance as it is better as the flavors develop in the fridge. It really is a perfect summer side dish.

Kid Approved Chicken Nuggets
Chicken nuggets are one of those all time favorite kid foods. Heck, I still love them! Having an option that can easily be pulled out of the freezer and thrown in the air fryer to make a quick dinner is a must around our house. Sometimes our dinner plan takes longer than the kids have patience for, or we have plans that require a grab and go meal. Either way, it’s on those nights that I’m grateful to have these in the freezer. Once frozen, you only need 10-15 mins to get dinner on the table.
I pre-make these any time we are running low and are having another meal with chicken breasts. I buy a pack of chicken much larger than we need for that night, and any chicken that doesn’t go in that nights meal gets made into these and put into the freezer. I already have chicken on my hands, a cutting board dirty, and time while that nights chicken cooks. A little multi tasking one night can save a LOT of time during future meals. Often times I’ll make up 2-3 batches of these at a time.
Enjoy!

Keto Enchilada Bake
I’ve always been a big fan of Mexican cuisine, but it is traditionally carb heavy. Tortillas, beans, and Spanish rice may be out when keeping yourself in ketosis, but you won’t even miss them with this filling enchilada bake.
It also makes the perfect weeknight meal because you only need 30 minutes and one pan! There is nothing better than an easy, delicious, and filling meal that also has easy clean up.
