Keto Sweet and Sour Chicken
Now that I’ve fully embraced the Keto lifestyle, I seriously realize how hard it is to enjoy some of my favorite restaurant foods.
My family loves to go to Schezwan Kitchen and trust me, I’ve eating my fill of their amazing gluten-free sweet and sour chicken, but now, like that place is pretty off limits for me.
I usually go to my bag of tricks when eating out and here are some ways that I general am able to enjoy a meal in a restaurant with my family
