Highfalutin' Low Carb

Today is Fundraising Friday! 🧡 In less than 60 days, I’ll get on my bicycle in San Francisco and pedal south 545 miles over 7 days until I reach the Santa Monica Pier! You’ve helped me raise almost $5,000 this year and I’m asking for your help reaching my goal of raising $8K for ‪@AidsLifecycle‬. Any amount helps, no matter how large or small. Your donation is put to use immediately.

Thank you for helping me do this life-changing ride ONE LAST TIME. After more than 30 years, 2025 will be the very last ride.

"Y'ALL! HE MADE MY RECIPE! COME ON!" 😀

Today, the tables were turned on ME, when Victor over at ‪@southernketo‬ reviewed my COCONUT CHICKEN ADOBO recipe from my cookbook, "Ketogenic Diet On A Budget."

Please go check out VIctor's channel to see his results and final thoughts, and be sure to stick around for more of his great #lowcarb and #keto content. He's a lot of fun to watch and has great recipes! (I'l leave a link below to the video.)

Since he was kind enough to send you to my book to get the ingredients, I thought I'd go ahead and share the FULL RECIPE here, so you don't have to go hunting. If you'd like to check out the rest of my cookbook, I'll leave the link below. THANKS, VICTOR!

Keto Coconut Chicken Adobo
Highfalutin' Low Carb

Serves 6 to 8
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Total time: 1 hour

I’ve taken inspiration from a traditional adobo recipe and changed some ingredients to make it my own. Soy sauce is an essential ingredient in adobo, but most keto dieters don’t consider it keto friendly because of the soy. I use Bragg Liquid Aminos or coconut aminos, which contain no soy but have a similar color and flavor. They can usually be found in the “health food” section of the grocery store, usually for the same price as a good-quality soy sauce. This dish is perfect served over cauliflower rice.

3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 small white onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 bay leaves
2 or 3 scallions, sliced (green parts only)
Lime wedges, for garnish

1. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.

2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add half of the chicken and cook until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken, also removing it to the plate.

3. While the chicken is cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk (shake the can vigorously before opening to incorporate the fat), vinegar, water, liquid aminos, and pepper. Whisk to combine.

4. To the oil in the pot, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn.

5. Return the chicken to the pot and add the bay leaves. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the chicken. When the liquid starts to approach a boil, lower the heat to medium low, cover, and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.

6. Remove the lid, gently stir, and allow to simmer for 15 minutes more, uncovered, for the sauce to thicken.

7. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, spoon over some extra sauce, and garnish with the scallions. Squeeze a bit of lime on top just before enjoying.

Celebrating my 50th BIRTHDAY doing something I’ve always wanted to do - camping (glamping?) and riding my bicycle in Death Valley! 🏜️ It’s the driest spot in the USA, the lowest point on the continent, and the hottest place on Earth. 🌎 The silence and serenity is just what I needed.

I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK: As you may know, last year I participated in the AIDS/LifeCycle charity ride, cycling 545 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles over 7 wonderful, greuling days. With YOUR HELP, I raised over $11,000 for this amazing organization! 2025 will be the very last of these rides, so I’m doing it one more time this June. I’M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP in reaching my goal - I’d love to be able to match what I raised last year. I’ll include a link below. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!

You know me.
You know my heart.
Help me make a difference. 🧡
