Almond Crusted Chicken breast

I am always looking for a good/healthier  substitute to my favorite foods. Ones that are good enough I can convince my family  to eat them in lieu of their not so healthy favorites. The almond coating adds a crunch to the outside of the chicken without using bread crumbs. So, if you are trying to…

Scotch Eggs

How did I not know about Scotch eggs?  This recipe seems like something I should have grown up with.  An egg wraped in a meatball? Why not? Life this week has been a little crazy around my house and seems to be getting more crazy.  The days are full with work and kids, gym workouts,…

Pork Fried Riced Cauliflower

        I will admit, I am horrible at making traditional fried rice.  Mostly because I don’t have the patience to make proper rice by cooking it and letting it cool before I fry it up.  I have found that riced cauliflower removes this annoying step completely and it is a low carb/veggie version of…

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

      If you have yet to try cauliflower pizza crusts you have to understand that if not prepared properly it will yield a very mushy mess rather than anything that resembles a pizza! Cauliflower is mostly water! I know because I have dehydrated a whole head of cauliflower and it produced only 1/3…

Turkey Cabbage Wrap

I promise you this wrap is more tasty than you could ever imagine, and it’s healthy too! A great thing about cabbage is it’s a very durable  vegetable that will not get soggy or wilt if you plan to use this recipe in your weekly meal prep. If you do plan to do so, you…

Chicken Meatballs

Stuffed Chicken Breast

I am sure you have heard it before, but chicken breast is a great source of lean protein.  It is however a very tricky meat to cook because it is easy to overcook, and undercooking can make you very sick. It doesn’t matter what you do to season it, a dry chicken breast is hard…
