January 2018 Blog Traffic & Income Report

January 2018 Blog Traffic & Income Report Hi there! Gretchen here, with this month’s traffic and income report for Fit Mom Journey. I have been doing these reports for 5 months now, but I started when I was actually making some money. Previously, before that first income report I had blogged at Fit Mom Journey for 1.5 years, and at my other blogs for 3 years! I do this for a couple of reasons. The first is that I think it’s important to step back, evaluate, and regroup. It’s a time to gather up all the number, the strategies, and the… Read More

Keto Sweet – Spicy Chicken Thighs

Keto Sweet – Spicy Chicken Thighs My Keto Sweet Spicy Chicken Thighs are a one skillet meal that the entire family will love! Think sticky, delicious chicken thighs, rubbed with a homemade spice and coated with a sweet, spicy, sticky sauce – soooo good! I just love the combination of sweet and spicy – throw it on chicken and you’re going to love it! Especially if pre-keto, you were addicted to take out. Like me. True story. Since I’m going to have you make your own spice rub, not only do you get to control the quality of spices you use,… Read More

Keto Beef Tips with Mushrooms, Onions, and Gravy

Keto Beef Tips with Mushrooms, Onions, and Gravy {THM:S, Low Carb, Ketogenic} Raise your hand if you have a beef-loving husband! I’m right there with you 🙂 And, if I’m being honest, I’m a beef eater too! But besides beef being the main ingredient in these Keto Beef tips, there are two main reasons I love making this recipe: it requires only 4 ingredients + my slow cooker, and because it’s a great way to use up my ButcherBox grass-fed beef tips! Also important: the beef tips can stay in the slow cooker up to 12 hours on low, without… Read More

Keto Lemon Bars

Keto Lemon Bars Lemon bars are a classic for a reason. They just looks so cheery and fancy, while taking very little work at all to make! Growing up, I would make money bars for my mom because she loved lemon, and then my whole family would devour them – sometimes before she even got a chance to eat them! As with most recipes, it takes a few tries to “ketofy” a traditional recipe into something that’s both super low carb, filled with healthful ingredients, and that actually tastes good. This one did take me a couple of tries,… Read More

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers THM:S

Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers (THM:S, Ketogenic, Low Carb) Guess what’s right around the corner? Appetizer parties! Just kidding…. The Super Bowl will be here before we know it! If you’re like me, you aren’t really a football fan, but going to a Super Bowl party is fun because of the food, and fellowship, and the friends. Or maybe you really get into sports, and that’s cool too – as long as you enjoy the snacks too! These jalapeno poppers are on of those appetizers, that when you make them, you can always count on them being snapped right up. And of… Read More

Ketosis Myths

Ketosis Myths The Ketogenic Diet has gone mainstream over the last couple of years or so. What was once a cult favorite among athletes, bodybuilders, and holistic health enthusiasts has become a household diet. If you haven’t tried Keto yet, you probably know someone who has – and who has probably had amazing success with it. Over the course of learning about Ketosis, formulating my own Ketogenic Diet, and writing articles to help others – like you lovely peeps – I’ve learned about many objections to Keto. Some of them were my own, when I was first learning about Keto,… Read More

Keto Chocolate Milk

Keto Chocolate Milk When I was pregnant, I just couldn’t get enough chocolate milk. Sure, I liked it before, but something about pregnancy that made me crave it so much I would go through a couple gallons a week. No kidding. Now that I’m Keto, Chocolate Milk is something I really wanted to replace. And not just replace, with a kind-of-ok replacement, but a chocolate milk that is completely delicious by even the most anti-keto, and make it contain a ton of protein. I’ve come a long way on this Keto journey, discovering some really awesome products that I never… Read More
