• 10 KETO FOODS YOU SHOU...
Egg Bites:
12 slices salami
12 eggs
Sprinkle 2 T feta cheese in each
season with salt
Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
Here is another egg bite recipe you might enjoy: www.ketofocus.com/recipes/ket...
Chopped Italian Salad:
For the dressing mix:
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
½ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
pinch of salt
Add chopped lettuce, tomato, cucumber, kalamata olive, salami.
Mushroom Chicken Casserole:
24 oz skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
½ cup chicken broth
8 oz sliced mushrooms
½ red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
8 oz cream cheese, cubed
1 whole garlic bulb
8 oz Kaizen Ziti Pasta
5 oz baby spinach leaves
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large casserole dish, toss together diced chicken, chicken broth, mushrooms, red onion, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme.
Scatter cubed cream cheese around the dish.
Cut the top of the garlic to expose the cloves. Nestle the garlic bulb into the center of the casserole dish. Drizzle olive oil on top of the garlic bulb. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and garlic is softened.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions. This pasta tends to crumble and break if overcooked. So only cook for 5-6 minutes (per instructions). Drain pasta, rinse with cold water and set aside.
After baking, remove garlic bulb. Stir in spinach leaves right away to allow for hot casserole to wilt the spinach. If casserole looks dry, stir in some hot chicken broth until smooth.
Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a bowl and mash.
Stir the roasted garlic and pasta into the casserole. Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.

I'm still doing IF 16/8 with 2 meals a day and often a protein snack mid afternoon when I'm laboring outside gardening and landscaping. Increasing protein has really improved my strength and energy. And it has eliminated my nighttime craving for sweet snacks :)
Great Job - dropping 40lbs! Tomorrow I'm getting back on Keto/Carnivore after 1.5 yrs off & gaining 46 lbs - YIKES! My struggle is diet soda.
You are one of my top favorite keto personalities, and I’m glad that you’re not caught up in the fasting and that you are now going higher protein, which are my goals as well. Trying to skip breakfast in the morning always made me feel terrible, so I can’t wait to see how adding it back in is going to help everything.
Seems like many of my favorite keto CZcamsrs, you are one of the few I follow now, are amplifying their protein. Me too.
Well, lifting weights 5 days a week is a big part of the reason you have slimmed down!! (So wonderful that you are addressing those older person problems BEFORE you get old!!!)
Processed meat such as salami, peperoni, or even deli ham isn't great though. Made the mistake of eating processed meats doing low carb high protein. There is protein then there is healthy protein.
I totally agree! That salami stuff in a NO for me.....
You remain my favorite low carb/keto. Your recipes are THE BEST, your sponsorship selection is always spot on and so are your observations on this lifestyle as a whole. I'mma do the protein thing. I'm in Portland!
You are absolutely such a wonderful gem in this low carb world. Watching your videos is refreshing as spring rain. Corny, but true.
Thank you! I've been trying to be carnivore for at least 8 months -- not very successfully. It's just too restrictive. This video was exactly what I needed. Silly me, I needed a reminder that eating vegetables, olive oil, and even lupin pasta is okay. Immediately I felt relieved and went out and bought ingredients to make the chopped salad. I love your sense of humor and realness. Keeps me coming back.
Same, about the carnivore. For me it has been 3 months. My issue is I'm a gardener and I eat my vegetables from my garden and garden season's coming up in my region and this summer I will be eating my garden so I guess I'll be ketovore. One thing I do realize about being carnivore and not having all the inflammation or the pain I will not ever go back to processed foods. I will incorporate my veggies though and fruit.
@@mistyriennett5902 Agree about how carnivore makes me feel. I have more energy, my mood lifts, bloat goes away, all those great things. But meat and eggs all the time tastes "dark" to me so, adding a few tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, fresh herbs, green onions, etc "brightens" up flavor. Gardening is fun so it hard to give up fresh veggies.
I haven't been watching any videos for awhile. You look Fantastic! You've always been beautiful but now more Fit, Healthy and Happy. I need to get back on the band wagon seeing you has inspired me. Thank you for continuing to make videos and sharing you life and results with us.
You gave slimmed down so much. Congratulations! You look great. Please make more what I eat in a day videos like this. I’m trying to eat more protein and lower carbs as well and I need ideas. Thank you.
I've done keto and IF bit also have moved to higher protein. Ive always loved your content and fabulous recipes! Adding salami to my grocery list because yum! Those egg bites look amazing! And so does the salad! At 60 years old I can testify that it gets so much harder to lose weight as we age. Upping the protein makes a world of difference!
I chuckled at the casserole video only because I learned to watch the whole videos before I spend the time, writing it down and saving it …… so I think I will cook the garlic by itself ahead of time then it’ll be cool and make sure it’s done so thank you very informative
Thanks for the low carb/high protein content! I also lift, and when I was strict keto (high fat, moderate protein) I was losing hair and struggling to put on muscle. Keto was a great way to start my weight loss journey, but now I find that cutting carbs, avoiding added sugar, and lifting heavy is the way to go.
Congratulations on the weight loss, that is amazing. I have been reading and looking into increasing my protein and starting to lift weights but haven't really stayed consistent on it yet. After seeing the change in you, I am reassured that this what I need to do to be successful. I'd love to see more or learn more about your journey and what you are doing for exercise and continued suggestions for daily protein options to reach the protein goals.
Outstanding Commentary!!! Thank You!!!
I loved this! I think i'm going to try the pasta dish but just peel and separate my garlic cloves beforehand. That whole putting the whole thing in there with the outer layer is just making more work for yourself. Just peel the garlic and sprinkle them in the dish and they will soften into a paste even faster and you won't have to pick 'garlic peel' out your dish. I do this when I bake leg of lamb or a roast and it never fails me. lol
Great video. Great work, and it's working for you for sure. 🎉
You are one of the only Keto CZcamsrs I follow... I love you content...it makes Keto feel "doable" ❤❤
Thank you for this helpful & healthy info. I was eating Chicken Crust pizza, your delicious recipe, while watching your new video. 🍕
You are such a blessing❣
Good video! Thanks Jennifer 😊
Thank you
this is such so helpful video. Please make more !!
I didn’t know you were in Oregon. Me too 😊
Great idea love this ! Thanks
Thank you for the great ideas, recipes! You Rock!
You look amazing! I noticed a while back you were slimming down. Thanks for sharing❤
Didn't realize you lived Oregon. Me too! Clackamas rural area. Thanks for the get posts!
Awesome video, great recipes too ❤
I like how practical your plan is. I don't want to follow complicated recipes with ingredients I don't have.
I am post menopause and I believe this is part of the reason I'm struggling with losing weight is because I don't eat enough protein.
I tried the egg cups made with Canadian bacon, they're really good and will keep making them. Thanks, you always put out good content mixed with humor.
Hi, do you fry the bacon first?
Looks good ! Sounds good . Will try tonight!!! I was just wondering what kind of bake we are do you use ? Thank you . I have subscribed since you start ! Thank you for your dedication and amazing recipes! 😊
Thanks so much :) You are Amazing!
I'm usually pretty good about reading reviews before making a recipe but it seems like the one time I don't, I have the same experience as you did with the casserole (everytime! 🤣) . I'm glad you shared it because it looks delicious and now we all know the right steps to take with it.
When I need roasted garlic whole in a dish, I prepare it first a little. Whack it root side down on the counter top to help loosen the cloves...if still too compact, whack the top part as well. The point is to loosen the cloves, not remove them...something I learned here in Spain. Microwave it in 30 sec increments until there is a little give when you squeeze the head of garlic...then add it to whatever for baking/roasting in the oven. BUT, be sure to drizzle a little olilve oil on the top as this will help it roast quicker and better. To get the cloves out, you could press the head between two smallish cutting boards and scrape up the pulp. I can handle a lot of heat and so can squeeze out by hand, but in a hurry, the two board trick is indeed quicker.
Love your videos. Thank you.
You’re welcome ❤️
Healthy and delish pointers😋
You look maaaavelous! Thanks for the chop salad recipe. That’s dinner tonight!
Definitely going to try your chopped salad. My husband loves an Italian style salad, so if I do what you suggested and mix the dressing and toppings separately, then keep some bags of chopped lettuce, he’ll like that he can make his own, without the lettuce getting wilted.
And yes, I always have some salami or pepperoni on hand for a quick protein snack.
yum! relaxing video to watch too! thanks! those egg
bites look great! new sub
You could always roast the garlic separately. 😊
Loved the easy egg bite recipe idea. So easy, and great punch of protein. The Italian chopped salad looks very yummy! How long have you found that lasts in the refrigerator? - Michelle
you HAVE slimmed down!😊 Thx for the recipes.❤
Hi! I love your videos, I am learning so much. However how do I know how much protein I need?
Thanks for this! I would never take that much time to make a casserole. I think there are a lot of recipes out there that are just not tested. I'm also adding more protein to my keto meals.
Love this! I’ve been doing the same for about two months. I’m 50. I’ve been on LC for a long time, just not near enough protein. I aim for 150 grams (my desired weight). Gram per pound
Omg. What a coincidence! I made the same eggs today but with prosciutto instead of salami and hard cheddar. My egg yolks cooked to much but hubby loved it ❤
I love your white salad bowl. I'm looking for the "perfect" salad bowl. Mine are either too small or too big and I eat salads a lot. Thanks for the recipes!
Doesn't salami have a lot of nitrates in it? Maybe use like a turkey sausage instead. I like my salad with chicken, turkey, or salmon.
I am always hungry! 😮I guess I need more protein in my meals. I hope it helps.
I had to have used this same recipe. The same thing happened with me from oven to oven again, then stove top with heavy cream and chunks of half baked garlic. Wasn't too bad, but probably won't do it again. I will be incorporating more protein, as I am at a standstill. 😊
I do the same kind of thing for breakfast, that I call an egg soufflé. I use at least 12 eggs, some spices, add cheese and whatever meat and veggies I have and mix it. Then I pour the mixture in a large greased baking pan and cook. After 30 minutes or so, I have an egg soufflé. I let it cool a bit and cut it into abut 9 portions that I can eat all week.
I add 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream to my egg bites. I add the egg, then the heavy whipping cream then my toppings. They come out so good!!
Perfect thank you! I am a terrible cook and have been looking for a high protein breakfast that I don't have to make a big mess in the morning. I thought about muffins but couldn't figure out time and temperature. I'm looking forward to trying these tomorrow am :) At 68 I started keto and lost 30 lbs but I also lost all muscle and strength. I've learned that I need 140 gms per day which seems astronomical to me so I'm emphasizing protein over carbs and fat in order to get enough calories.
Salami is a great thing. Recently found some chorizo pepperoni I am excited to try.
I also do low carb, trying to keep under 60 carbs per day, and only eaten carbs along with a protein. I also do intermittent fasting - eating most days between 10 and 6:30. I lost 26 lbs in 5 months this way two years ago and have kept it off, mostly. I weigh 107 now at age 82 and 5 ft tall. I rarely feel cravings or even hungry when I stick to this diet plan. I have lots of chicken and fish and mostly sustainably raised, organic not processed foods. Very satisfying. p.s. I have very low self discipline, yet this works for me.
You look fantastic! I need to increase protein and release weight, so t hanks for the inspo! Have you tried using a silicon muffin pan for egg bites? Perfect for those.
I live in Oregon too! Not far from Portland. My husband and I did really well last summer on Carnivore, lost 40lbs, so we just started back on it. I love how I feel on Carnivore! I'm going to try making those egg bites today. 🙂
You look great! You were pretty before, and even more now, good job on your healthy lifestyle.
same! starting to lift and gain strength and muscle.
put the lettuce and stuff in separate mason jars. I have kept mine around 2 weeks. I also use the mason jar sucker outter thingy. but a paper towel in the bottom of the lettuce jar and spinach and I kept it almost 2 weeks.
tongs with the garlic
I too had a failed Instagram recipe using the same method for baking the garlic. The dish had tomatoes with the cut head of garlic in the center. Roasting at 350 for 40 minutes. The tomatoes were cooked but watery and the garlic was rock hard. 🤨
I use Mac milk in my coffee. I love it. If I don’t want to do dairy, I’ve found Mac,I’ll is the tastiest alternative.
1:06 thanks for keeping it real, and sampling the goods! 😅😂
I probably would have peeled the garlic and thrown the cloves in amongst the veggies, and roasted them that way. Then just mash them a bit for even distribution.
your recipes have always been a success for me. thank you. would you consider creating a keto version of Little Caesar's Crazy Puffs? they look fun and yummy but too many carbs as they are now.
I always roast my garlic for an hour. I don't understand why your recipe said half an hour. But it looks like you knew it was needed! The way I cook it is to drizzle it with olive oil and herbs and wrap it tightly in tinfoil and then roast it. I understand that doesn't get the garlic into the vegetables but it does work and is yummy especially as a spread
That was avocado oil? Shoot! I thought it was Windex! No wonder mine tasted like soap! 😉
😬😉😬😉
love this video! I live in Roseburg! xoxoxoxo
Can you please update us on the Gem and how it has done for you? Thanks!
This video shows 5 hours ago. You are not eating all these veggies now are you? Made my mouth water.
Where did you reference for the amount of Protein for the day/meal? Thanks for any help
I like your egg recipe. Do you reheat the leftovers?
I was so excited when I first discovered Lupin pasta.......I rushed and bought 3 different types. To my dismay I discovered I can't tolerate it. I ended up with a terrible stomach ache and bloating like I have never experienced in my life. My heart was broken because I have really missed pasta....but I will have to continue to go through life pastaless. 😢 But yaaaaaaay egg bites. I'm making a bunch of those puppies tomorrow. You look wonderful btw.
Kaizen pasta prices are insane. On Amazon, 1 1/2 pounds for 32.00. Absolutely crazy. But thanks for the recipes. I will try the egg bites.
I can’t do too much protein. I do great on 60-80% fat, 20-35% protein, 5 % carbs. Tried carnivore for 60 days religiously. Lost 3 lbs. Yeah 3 lbs. Turns out some of us turn protein into glucose. Several friends have done great with carnivore/ketovore. Not me though. And I like my avocados, cabbage, asparagus, salads, etc
The egg bites- have you tried making them in a silicone muffin tin? Just wondering. Thank you for all you do for us. ❤
Could maybe have microwaved the garlic when you first noticed it was rock hard. Tip, put the garlic head in the middle of a pair of tongs and squeeze each end of tongs using 2 hands. Bulbs should ooze out nicely. L❤ve your videos.
Do you not worry about what’s in the Salami besides meat? Aussie Bob
Hi Annie! I'm curious as to what your daily macros are now on your high protein low carb eating? Also, where do you try to stay with calories per day? I'm trying to stay around 70% Fat / 25% Protein / 5% Carbs. I really don't count calories though. My A1C has dropped significantly but my weight has plateaued for about a year. I do not intermittently fast. You look GREAT BTW!!! 👍🏻
I was going to ask the same great questions 😊
The chaotic energy of the order in which you cracked those eggs ... girl, you are the gem.
What kind of salami do you get? Do you find you have uric acid levels because of the salami? I love salami but I’ve had gout issues that have been triggered by salami.
Really enjoyed this, Annie! Loved the salad dressing recipe.
Gems looks interesting, too!
20 total carbs is sooooo restrictive for me. I couldn’t keep it up
Yes, I have been experimenting with increasing it.
I'm allergic to Insulin, so I'm only allowed 4 carbs per meal max... 12 per day. I wish I could go back to having more. I can't even eat tomatoes anymore bc the totally spike my blood sugars too much 🤦🏻♀️
I found very few veggies I can actually eat... Supplements to the rescue for vitamins & minerals; unfortunately, even some of those have carbs~ 🤦🏻♀️ WTH!
@@leahrowe847 omg I am so sorry. That sounds dreadful. If you are into alternative solutions check out Joe Dispenza. Maybe that will work?
You need some chopped pepperoncinis and some cauliflower in that salad then it would be bangin. Looks amazing.
You look great!
I cant eat eggs. Dont know exactly why but I had shingles right as I was finishing going into lenopause. 3 years almost into menopause, and every time I eat eggs I am in severe pain for 3-4 hours! I want some good recipes that can help me eat breakfast with protien, without eggs! Do you have any siggestions? I am in my early 50's, I only take one thyroidedication, and have no other known health issues.
I have gained too much this past winter, and am craving only sugar. I think I will watch more of your videos! Thank You!
Lookin good👍🏻
What type of lettuce were you using on your salad?
Dinner made me angry - That right there is why I rarely try new recipes! You saved it, I would have fed it to the dog..... Thank you for sharing the real bits! :)
Understand more carnivore, that is where I am. No sugar, min carbs but I enjoy veggies. A lot of avocados. Still OMAD and eat 4 to 5 pm for 1500 Cals with 3 hour workout, 8.5 mile walk/run for 2 hours, .5 hr stretching and .5 lifting. Everyday.
It is hard to eat again sometimes when I get a lot of protein in one meal. I think that’s also why a lot of people tend to intermittent fast this way. I just worry that I might not be getting enough in. How much protein do you eat a day?
@KetoFocus understand, body hasn't broken down yet with injuries yet, I have hit a plateau on weight loss at 220, so considering a 72 hour fast in a week or two. Have my physical in may, not sure my synthetic thyroid med is working, that may need to change. Oh 1500 calories, fills me up if it carefully manage and eat slowly over the hour
How n earth do you keep cholesterol down? I find it hard to balance protein to fat. I’ve been doing Keto since end of Feb and have lost 14 pounds. But I find it hard to cut the fat and worry about high cholesterol that the strictness of choices to keep it under 20 NC and stay satiated.
You should always wash mushrooms first. They don't absorb much water and you are going to cook them anyway. They are grown in sterilized manure and have bits of it on them.
I've upped protein too and limited some fat. I think we're seeing more AI created recipes. I've been disappointed too with last minute fixes.
I have been Carnivore for about 2 years . Lost 76 pounds the first 10 months then reached a plateau. Haven’t lost another ounce. I have tried the eat your goal weight in protein grams! I also tried the calculated .6 x your goal weight and eat that in grams of protein. NEITHER WORKS!
I still need to lose 50 pounds. I’m tired of the whole thing. I’m 75 & don’t have that much longer to do this. I also been told just eat meat until satiated. I get full quickly. Didn’t work either. 🤯
IDK how long you've been on a plateau, but sometimes you just have to wait out your body. Take measurements all over... biceps, wrists, calves, thighs, waist, hips, neck, chest, etc. Literally anywhere you ca6put a tape, measure it weekly & note the #s. When I was stuck, my doc had me do that... I wasn't losing lbs on the scale, but my body was redefining itself, moving weight around, toning itself, & whatnot. According to my doc, it was also testing me to see if I would stick to my diet, as I'd dieted b4 without staying power (LOL). I'm not gonna lie & say it only took a month or two to start losing again, bc it took about 6,which was awful TBH... but once I started losing again, it was like in the beginning again 10#, 10#, 5#, etc
I'd go by how you're feeling more than anything... do you feel good eating this way?
Do you have more energy?
Do you have less inflammation or symptoms of whatever?
If so, maybe stay the course, bc the diet could be giving you more benefits than you can imagine...
Do you have an accountability partner or friend who encourages you on your journey? My doc was mine, & I've found that makes all the difference in the world... this time, I'm doing it solo, it's 100% harder without having someone in your corner who not only keeps you honest, but encourages you when you're feeling frustrated.
Be well. My body also needs more protein. We live and grow in knowledge.
Annie: You always look beautiful! can you give the nutritional numbers for the egg bites, besides protein how many carbs, fat etc?
Ideas for high protein, low carb and low fiber?
ARRRGGH. Now I have
Shake Your Groove Thing going around my head : O
Sun don't reach oregon?
I can't eat garli, so I will make the recipe without the garlic, but maybe some onions will be nice ont this dish
🧛♀️
