Keto Fried Chicken Gizzards

Published on March 25, 2024March 28, 2024 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog3 Comments

Although I was southern-raised I don’t ever remember trying fried chicken gizzards until I moved to Florida and my brother brought home a few from the local gas station… I was hooked and needed more! I never thought about making them myself as it was easy enough to run to the gas station for a quick treat until it wasn’t.

I desperately craved these during my last three pregnancies… I might’ve been craving them before just not knowing what it was that I was craving. With Shyanne it was harder to get them because of COVID and I was so sick for most of the pregnancy that trying to make them myself was out of the question!

Fast forward to this past week when what did my little eye spy when cleaning out the fridge? Chicken gizzards! How they got there I have no clue but then the next day there were more… I think someone was trying to send me some hints.

Yay! I did it… my first big project of the year. I actually finished the Meal Plan that I’ve been working on and I wanted to share it with you. I know it’s not perfect and I’m sure there will be some changes made to it but it’s a place to start and I’m happy with that. These were inspired by The Dinner Calendar written by Fannie Merritt Farmer in 1915 but they have some modern recipes, most of which can be found on the blog. I love that I can pull/print recipes one time and be able to use them again and again over the next few months! The kids are also working on a list of muffins, oatmeal, quick bread, cookie, and dessert recipes as an add-on to this meal plan.

Why plan for the week or month when you could plan for the years to come all at one time? We have been using this for a week or so now and it has helped tremendously! I’ve also been able to simplify my Cozi calendar by using this meal planner… so nice!
