Chicken tenders are one of my favorite comfort foods mainly because I love dipping them in all types of sauces and dressings.  This recipe combines my love for Tessemae’s paleo ranch and a classic chicken tender.  Using the ranch to coat the chicken instead of an egg before battering it helps to…

This filling three in one veggie combo is packed full of flavor and probably the quickest “risotto” you will every make.  I love making a big batch of this for dinner and using leftovers along side eggs or mixed into shredded chicken for lunch.     Ingredients: 3 tbsp ghee, divided 1 large Vidalia onion,…

  I could eat sweet potatoes 3 times a day, 7 days a week and not get tired of them.  I love them in all shapes in forms, but my favorite is roasted in the oven until browned with a slight crunch.  By cooking them on a baking rack, the potatoes cook and crisp more…

Just because summer officially ends in a few days does not mean you can’t still fire up the grill.  These Honey Mustard Chicken Skewers are about as easy as it gets and packs a lot of flavor.  I love serving this alongside roasted or baked sweet potatoes, or over a bed of lettuce for lunch. …

With the batches of Jersey Tomatoes dwindling, I am determined to make this simple tomato salad at least one more time!  So simple and flavor full with ingredients like fresh Jersey Tomatoes, red onion, celery, oregano, and some good old olive oil.   Ingredients: 4 medium tomatoes, sliced ¼ red onion, sliced 2 stalks celery,…

Memorial Day Weekend may have come and gone, but on my first day back to school I am day dreaming about being down the shore and enjoying this Cacao Cashew Cream Ice Cream.  Using cashew cream allows for a thick and creamy texture that will really have you questioning if its really dairy free…trust me it…

With school just a week away I am starting to think about easy weeknight dinners that are satisfying and include an easy clean-up.  To me thats anything that can be made in one pan on the stove.  These Chipotle Chicken Tacos are so simple and have so much flavor including smoked paprika, tomato paste, and…

I am not a daily smoothie drinker but every once in a while I just crave something cold and refreshing and to me that just screams smoothie.  When I do make a smoothie I always want it to have some sort of “green” component for an extra boost of nutrients and I love adding a…

This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite salads at a local restaurant.  I love it because its flavorful, has a mix of textures and a dressing that adds so much richness with just the right amount of sweetness.  I love a salad that is more then lettuce and protein.  I find the more…
