5 Minute Garlic Butter Fried Frog Legs
One of my favorite foodie destinations has to be Paris, France. Craig took me there to celebrate our anniversary and that is where I discovered one of my absolute favorite French dishes–Frog Legs!
If you love classic French cuisine, frog legs are one of those dishes that feels both elegant and comforting at the same time. Tender, delicate, and lightly sweet, they taste surprisingly similar to chicken wings with a softer texture and a rich buttery finish. This recipe is one of my favorite ways to prepare them — fried until golden, and finished with garlic, butter, and fresh herbs.
Whether you’re trying frog legs for the first time or recreating a meal that reminds you of a cozy French bistro, this recipe is simple, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable.
And if you are like me and want to travel and taste the World, you MUST join me on one of my upcoming Retreats!
No matter if you eat keto or not, there is NO JUDGING on my trips! You will have wonderful keto food served (they have made special zoodles instead of pasta, keto eggplant Parmesan, and even my flour-less chocolate torte on past retreats!!!) but if you want to have non-keto food, I do not mind. I will teach you keto while we travel but I will not judge and neither will others on the trip. Everyone is on a different journey in life so as long as you do not judge me, I will not judge you!
I’m currently booking Retreats to Thailand, Nepal, and Bhutan. So if you’re a foodie, LOVE adventure, and want to make best friends for life please join me!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“I would kick myself if I didn’t write this post…if you have ever had a desire to see Italy, learn more about the keto way of eating, please watch for the next announcement on Maria’s page for the next Italy tour.
I was there…and while I was not at my ideal weight, I came away with more powerful information from Maria than before. She gave very powerful speeches that reinvigorated my desire to be back on track.
You know what else? Maria is NOT judgmental...she realizes that everyone is on a path to better health, and she is there to share tips, tricks and great knowledge to help you get there. I admit that I was intimidated, but once I met her, how could you not fall head over heels for this beautiful person who only wants to share her passion for better health by simply changing our diets?! (Food is thy medicine!) I will definitely try to make the next #ItalyKetoMaria tour next year, and for those of you who didn’t go this time, don’t miss out…it was PHENOMENAL!!! 🇮🇹♥️” Katya
