Amazing Meals From The Pantry #12

  


After Thanksgiving I was seriously carbed out.  I went strictly keto for a couple of weeks to clean things up and feel better and I did.  So much so, that I decided to just keep on going.  With Christmas and New Years ahead and those indulges I wanted to eat clean and healthy as much as possible.  I was super proud of myself at work because the temptation of sugary goodies is abundant.  But, I’ve been holding true to avoiding sugars.

 

NY Strip w/sauteed green beans & sliced mushrooms

Beef tips & gravy with steamed broccoli & cheddar

Salisbury steak w/onion gravy

Lots of delicious buttered & seasoned vegetables

My plate has been filled with proteins and vegetables with healthy fats.  Those meals are super satisfying, delicious and good for me.  I’ve been quite satisfied and I love how they manage my overactive sweet tooth.

 

Chicken enchiladas w/avocado & sour cream


Chicken breast with bacon & half an avocado

Chicken alfredo w/parmesan

Because it is the holidays the only real indulgence of late is a rum chata coffee every now and then.  Thankfully, that coffee drink doesn’t trigger my sweet tooth and cause me to do a face plant into a plate of Christmas cookies.  My plans to make fudge and cookies has been put on hold for now and I’m rethinking the Christmas Menu a bit with some keto alternatives.

 


I do best with less when it comes to carbohydrates, but I also don’t want to completely go without a few goodies.  Balance and moderation is always key to success.  I’m thinking a delicious keto cheesecake is in my future.  I can hardly wait.
