Whole 30 Chicken Normandy with Apples & Coconut Cream
Hi folks! Happy (almost) Fathers Day! I am currently on day 17 of the Whole 30. I have been trying to come up with creative and delicious dinner ideas that are full of protein, delicious flavor, and healthy. I had never made Chicken Normandy before, but I knew that I wanted to make it, and I wanted it to be healthy and Whole 30 approved. The regular chicken normandy calls for creme fraise (basically sour cream), regular flour, brandy, and some other ingredients that are not gluten or dairy free. So I substituted coconut cream, chicken stock, almond flour, and it tasted great! All the amazing flavors, but better for…
Easy Summer Quinoa Salad w/ Vinaigrette
Welcome to the weekend! I was actually going to post this recipe for Cinco De Mayo, but my laptop screen ended up getting cracked sadly, so I wasn’t able to finish the post until now. Fortunately, my sister and brother-in-law let me borrow their MacBook Air for the week, so I was able to edit the photos and get this post going. Yay! Anyways, this is a staple in my household. I have been making this cold quinoa salad for years, and the ingredients have evolved over time. This quinoa salad has crispy bell pepper, crunchy corn, soft black beans, salty feta, all topped with a zesty lemon vinaigrette. I…
Mediterranean Chicken Wrap with Homemade Hummus
This is a delicious lunch wrap that I created last year in 2020. It was November and I was living in Austin, Texas. For my 29th birthday, my best friend and I went downtown to have a fun picnic right by the river. It was a perfect, beautiful sunny day, and the river looked beautiful with its surrounding trees, and the Austin skyscraper buildings towering behind it. We packed a picnic lunch, and I wanted something light, healthy, and fast. Therefore the Mediterranean inspired chicken wrap was born. This wrap is great paired with an apple and cheese on the side. You could also have some chips or crackers etc.…
Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Happy Spring! It is now officially Spring, and Easter is around the corner. Even though, here in Idaho it is currently snowing right now, according to the calendar, it is “Spring”. The recipe I am talking about today, is seriously so tasty, I have made it at least 6 times. It is creamy, cozy, savory, and easy as far as making pot pie from scratch goes. You can even make this for Easter dinner. This is something you can make, pop in the oven, then go have an Easter egg hunt with the kids, and then it will be ready to eat, when you come back! I am getting in…
Whole 30 Sweet Potato Chili
This is a recipe I created many years ago, when I decided to do the Whole 30. I wanted a delicious, flavorful, and hearty meal, and I modified a regular recipe to be Whole 30 approved. I have added a couple things since then, like beans, and it is still one of my favorite chili’s to this day. If you do want to make it Whole 30 approved, just omit the beans, and make sure your broths have no sugar added etc. It has few ingredients and takes only about 10-15 minutes to prepare. Even though it’s so simple, it is still extremely flavorful. Whenever I make a batch of…
