Paleo Chicken & Waffles Tenders W/ Garlic Rosemary Cauli Mash

Fried Chicken + waffles = classic (but not healthy)

Chicken Tenders + mashed potatoes = classic (but not healthy)

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

And the best part... this is almost too easy.

If I had thought this through a little further I probably would have prepared some green beans to add some color and more nutrients, but I think this is a good start, and you are welcome ;)
 Ingredients:




 Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400F, line 2 baking sheets (spray with avocado oil), and prep chicken by cutting into tenders sized to your liking. 
  2. Prepare the egg wash and pancake mix breading stations using two bowls. In one bowl mix 2 eggs with a splash of almond milk whisked together. In the other just dry pancake mix. 
  3. Use a fork or tongs to coat both sides of the chicken strip in the egg wash (let excess drip off), then toss in the pancake mix, shake off excess, place on lined baking sheet lightly spray with avocado oil. 
  4. Bake for 12-16 min depending on tender thickness - flip halfway through. 
  5. While the tenders are baking steam cauliflower florets until very very tender. Add to food processor with garlic, rosemary and set to puree until smooth. 
  6. Serve chicken tenders with grade A maple syrup and enjoy!

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 spray 1 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-s

Butternut Squash Zig Zag Chili Whole30 & Paleo

All of the ingredients for this simple, fun recipe are from Trader Joe’s! This chili comes together super quick and makes a lot of leftovers. It’s another variation on my “Everything but the Kitchen Sink Chili” recipe featured on my instagram! Basically I add whatever veggies I have that hold up well in a chili or stew that are about to go bad to the dish. So feel free to add ingredients you have that need to be used up! Growing up we ate chili over rice. These days I eat it over cauliflower rice, over a baked sweet potato or by itself and love to top it with avocado slices. It's totally up to you! Get creative and customize to your liking!   Ingredients: 1 can diced chili style tomatoes (@traderjoes fire roasted with green chili’s is perfect) 1 can tomatoes sauce 1lb ground turkey (ground beef or chicken work too) 1 onion (diced) 1 package of butternut squash zig zags 1 Tbsp chili powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper Cauliflower Rice (fresh or frozen) Add (or don’
