Chipotle Lime Chicken Wings

by Dr. Kellyann on Feb 03 2022
Prep time: 10 min • Cook time: 1 hr • Yield: 16-18 pieces Ingredients 2 ½ pounds chicken wings ¼ cup ghee, melted ½ cup fresh lime juice (approximately 3-4 medium limes) 2 teaspoons lime zest (approximately 2 medium limes) 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo (about ½ tablespoon chipotle and 1 ½ tablespoons sauce) ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon coconut nectar Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place rack in the center of the oven. Disjoint wings and cut into 3 pieces. Keep the tips for stock or discard. Place wings on a sheet pan and season with salt and pepper. Bake wings for approximately 45 minutes until they are starting to turn golden. While wings are baking mix remaining ingredients in a glass bowl. Remove wings from oven, and while still warm, place in the bowl of marinade and mix well to coat wings. Marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to one hour at room temperature. Preheat broiler to low, return wings to sheet pan, and broil for about 7 minutes, turning once, until wings are golden brown. If you prefer to finish the wings on the grill, heat grill to medium high and grill turning as needed for about 7 – 10 minutes. When you first put the wings on the grill, they may flame. Quickly move wing to another area to avoid over charring.  Optionally, top with chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Tips Chipotle in adobo is found in most grocery stores in the Hispanic section. It is a canned product containing chipotle chili peppers in a thick, rich sauce, adobo. Notes Everyone’s taste for spicy hotness varies. If you want the wings hotter, use more chipotle in adobo. Taste the marinade as you mix it to adjust the heat. Here’s a fun food fact: Chipotles are actually smoked jalapeño peppers. They impart a smoky, earthy spiciness to food. These jalapeño are not harvested until they turn very dark red and lose much of their moisture. They are then smoked in special smoker units for several days and stirred often allowing the smoke to penetrate the pepper. At the end of the smoking process, the peppers have become brown and dried. At this point they can be used as they are, ground into a powder, or canned as chipotle in adobo which is a lightly seasoned sauce containing vinegar and paprika.  Adobo is a Spanish word meaning marinade, sauce, or seasoning.

Heat on low until the onions are nicely caramelized, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Place the caramelized onions in a bowl and set aside (or in the refrigerator) to cool completely. Once the onions are cooled, add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined.  Combine garlic, yogurt, mayo, French Onion Bone Broth powder, nutritional yeast, chives, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and cayenne, and stir until smooth and creamy.

My Perfect Paleo Thanksgiving Menu

by Dr. Kellyann on Nov 10 2021
I believe I finally have my Thanksgiving Day down to a science. I know it's going to be crazy busy, so I’ll start the day off with my meditation ritual, sitting quietly in gratitude.  (As I gently reminded you (wink)  in recent posts, pouring from an empty cup is no good for anyone, and prioritizing pre-holiday self-care should be non-negotiable.

But for the most part, when I sit down to enjoy that Thanksgiving meal with my family, I’ll be glad to have put in the hard work that made my family smile… and made me smile too.

Paleo-Friendly Vanilla Cake

Paleo-Friendly Vanilla Cake

by Dr. Kellyann on Sep 02 2020
Prep Time: 25 min • Cook Time: 1 hour • Yield: 6 servings Ingredients: 1/3 cup ghee 1-3/4 cups almond flour 1/4 cup arrowroot flour 1/4 tsp salt 3 large eggs, at room temperature 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey 2 packets Dr. Kellyann's Collagen Creamer 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp baking soda Directions: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Coat a 6-inch round cake pan with palm shortening or ghee and line it with parchment paper. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Collagen Creamer, arrowroot flour, and salt until blended. Separate the eggs and place the whites in a medium bowl and place the yolks in another bowl along with the melted ghee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Whisk to combine. Add the egg yolk mixture to the large bowl with the flour mixture and whisk till the batter is smooth. Using a hand mixer or the whisk attachment of your stand mixer, beat the egg whites until they look like softly whipped cream and hold soft peaks when you pull out the beaters, about 2 minutes. Set the egg whites aside for a moment. Stir the baking soda into the batter and then, using a rubber spatula, immediately beat 1/3 of the whipped egg whites into the batter, mixing just until barely combined and some streaks remain. Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites into the batter, mixing until only a few streaks are left. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the cake and turn it onto the rack. Let cool completely. Enjoy!

Berries and Whipped Coconut Cream

by Dr. Kellyann on Sep 02 2020
Prep Time: 15 min • Yield: 4 servings Ingredients: 1 can (14.5 ounces) coconut milk 2 cups fresh berries 1 tsp pure almond or vanilla extract 1 pack Dr. Kellyann's Collagen Creamer 2 tbs sliced almonds 2 tbs Caramelized Coconut Chips Directions: This requires a bit of forethought: place a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator, ideally overnight, but 3-4 hours will do. When you're ready to eat, put the can of coconut milk, a metal mixing bowl, and beaters from the mixer in the freezer for 15 minutes. While the coconut milk is chilling, gently wash the fruit and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced almonds and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the almonds turn golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. When the coconut milk is cold, pour it into the chilled mixing bowl and add the almond extract and the Collagen Creamer. Whip on a mixer's highest setting until the milk is fluffy and has taken on the texture of whipped cream, about 5-7 minutes. Divide the berries among four bowls, then top with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle each bowl with some of the toasted almonds and caramelized coconut chips. Enjoy!

Roasted Broccoli with Lemon-Chile Sauce and Anchovy Crumbles

by Dr. Kellyann on Mar 16 2020
Humble broccoli gets a chance to shine in this quick-prep recipe. The anchovies add crunch and a rich, salty flavor.  Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 20 min | Yield: 4 servings Ingredients: 2 large heads of broccoli, cut into bite-size florets Coconut oil spray 3 tbs Ghee 1/2 tsp Celtic or pink Himalayan salt 1/2 jar (3.5-4.5 ounces) anchovies in olive oil 2 tbs coconut flour 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup Chicken Bone Broth Juice of 1 lemon 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes Directions:  Preheat oven to 425F. Arrange the broccoli florets on a baking sheet sprayed with coconut oil spray. Lightly spray the florets with more coconut oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast, undisturbed, until dark golden in most places, 20 to 25 minutes.  Meanwhile, in a small skillet, combine the anchovies with their oil and flour. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the mixture with a wooden spoon, until small, crunchy brown crumbs form, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.  Place the skillet over medium-low heat and melt ghee. Add the garlic and cook until golden and very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broth, lemon juice, and pepper flakes and reduce to 1/3 cup, to 2 to 3 minutes.  Serve the broccoli drizzled with the sauce and top with the anchovy crumbles.  Tip: don't toss the broccoli stems!

Coconut Mocha Collagen Fat Bombs

Coconut Mocha Collagen Fat Bombs

by Dr. Kellyann on May 08 2018
Coffee is a flavor enhancer for chocolate because it adds a depth and richness to chocolate. Bakers use this trick for adding depth to their chocolate recipes. It’s common to add a bit of espresso powder to chocolate recipes. In fact, coffee can be added in a small amount and make a big difference without creating a mocha flavor. I’ve heard it described as interplay of smoky, bitter, and rich that marries chocolate and coffee so well. Combine coffee, chocolate and coconut and you have yourself a sinfully delicious, yet low-carb, treat with no added sugars. Keep in mind that the collagen bombs are full of good healthy fat, but coconut oil liquefies when it gets warm. So to keep your bombs solid, keep them in the refrigerator or freezer. I prefer the freezer because they are easier to remove from the pan, muffin tin, or candy molds. Within a minute they’re ready to enjoy. And they are literally melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Prep time: 5 mins ● Cook time: 3 mins (optional) ● Yield: About 12 tablespoon-size servings Ingredients: ¼ cup coconut oil ½ cup canned full-fat coconut milk 1 scoop or 1 packet Chocolate Collagen Shake™ or 1 packet Collagen Hot Cocoa™  1 packet Instant Collagen Coffee™ ⅛ cup shredded unsweetened coconut, and optionally more for sprinkling on top Directions: In a small saucepan heat coconut oil on low until melted. You can also microwave the coconut oil for about 30 seconds until melted. If you live in a warm climate, you may not need to melt the coconut oil if it is already liquefied. Stir together all ingredients. Pour into an 8” x 8” pan, mini muffin tins, or silicone/plastic candy molds. Top with additional coconut if desired. Freeze until firm. These bombs melt quickly out of the freezer, so take them out just before serving. Enjoy!
