Whole30 & Paleo Spicy Turmeric Chicken Soup

This is my go to base soup recipe. It is so quick to come together, is filling and easy to modify based on your preferences. The Trader Joes Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Green Chilis adds the perfect spicy kick that almost resembles a 'tortilla soup' flavor. The turmeric gives this soup a lovely golden color and some wonderful anti inflammatory properties!
I love to change this recipe depending on what veggies I have in my fridge that need to be used up too! As you can see in the pictures I added a tomato that was looking like it was on its last leg. Try adding kale, cabbage, riced cauliflower, zucchini, or even diced sweet potatoes to change the flavor profile.

Fried Chicken + waffles = classic (but not healthy)

Chicken tenders made with paleo pancake/waffle mx + garlic rosemary cauliflower mash = super delicious  & pretty darn healthy!

Hearty Palmini Chicken "Noodle" Soup Whole30 & Paleo

Image
We are back with what may be the last soup of the season considering it seems to be warming up (at least here in sunny southern California!)

This hearty soup will leave you with a full belly and provide your body with a TON of nutrients! Considering even the noodles are made from a whole vegetable source this soup tops the charts in my book for wins! The star of the show of course is the can of palmini that give this soup its name! There is zucchini co starting in a quartered and sliced role rather than a noodle role that suites it quite well. The carrot chips give this soup a delicious bit while still being tender and delicious. I diced up rotisserie chicken, but feel free to prep yours however you like (if you like bigger chunks try shredding!). 
 Ingredients:
Chosen foods avocado oil spray1 small onion diced 1 cup celery, sliced thin (about 2 stalks) 1/2 package carrot chips (or 2 carrots sliced) 1 can Palmini 4 cloves minced garlic cloves 64 ounces (2 cartons) low-sodium chicken br…

Palmini with a Roasted Garlic & Mushroom Turkey Bolognese Whole30 & Paleo

Image
Something about spaghetti night brings me back to childhood. I feel like spaghetti night was always a fun night, and now I get it... it's a quick dish to whip up and yields a good amount of left overs. No wonder the grown ups liked it so much ahaha (am I a grown up?).

The base of this bolognese is very similar to my Fast Zoodles & Turkey Meat Sauce recipe. With just a few tweaks you can change this recipe to have different flavors, textures or macros to fit your preferences!

This sauce is great over Palmini, any spiralzied veggie, or even broccoli slaw!
