Jalapeño Lemon Chicken Thighs

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!

My Egg Roll in a Bowl

Sep 19, 2018MNKetoMom1 CommentRecipesasian, dairy free, main dish, pork

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!

Bacon Jalapeño Chicken Pizza

Fall…Pizza and football: does it get any better? While we love our Better than Fat Head Pizza for traditional pizza flavors, it’s nice to mix it up with some chicken and garlic cream pizza flavors. This one became a quick favorite. Just enough heat from the jalapeños balanced by the creamy garlic sauce.

Enjoy!
