Simple Engagement Chicken

Prep Time: 1 hour and 15 min
Serves: 6-8 plus

My grandma always told me if you can’t cook a whole chicken then you will never find a husband. Lucky for me I can, and now I am engaged! But for reals, if you eat meat you should be able to make a roast chicken. It is a classic staple, one that you will make over and over again. I also love that it’s not just 1 meal but you can make a ton of variations of recipes depending on the season (right now lots of soups and warming foods).

BROTH: After eating the meat (or I usually take it off the bones to store it) I will put the bones, a little bit of apple cider vinegar and some herbs into a stock pot and fill with water, let simmer for 4-5 hours then strain. Store in glass in the fridge and sip throughout the day or you can freeze to use later.

Plus I made this recipe so you don't need any fancy tools like a thermometer. If you have your cast iron and oven and boom good to go.

Collagen Keto Lemon Bars

Okay, who doesn't love a lemon bar? I mean really, they are so dang good, but loaded with sugar, processed white flour, and more sugar. So being the baker that I am (NOT I am horrible at baking, this took me 3 times) I personally think this recipe is BOMB, no sugar or gluten, but yes a lot of butter.

My Anti-Aging Beauty Hack - Collagen

Collagen is more than a hype right now. It is something we ALL need in our diets every day because it is the most abundant protein in the body making up 70% of our protein in our skin. Unfortunately, when convenience foods were introduced we all stopped consuming the foods that contained these crucial nutrients. In nature is found exclusively in animal tissue, especially bones and connective tissue. Back when traditional recipes included the whole animal, bones, skin and all the tendons, there was no collagen issues!

Coconut Wrap

Lay out tortilla/wrap of choice. With a knife layer the spread, turkey, and veggies all to one side. It is easy to overstuff, so be conscious to make sure you can still wrap it up. This entire process should take about 5 minutes!
