Paleo Fried Chicken
Finger Lick’n Paleo Fried Chicken! It’s no big secret that I am a southern girl who was born and raised in Texas. In the South we fry EVERYTHING! Seriously… have you heard of our famous state fair deep friend Oreos or deep-fried margaritas. Yes, that is a thing. Anyway, I digress. What I was really wanting was some good, southern fried chicken. Other Paleo fried chicken recipes with nut flours just weren’t cutting. They ended up soggy or had a strange texture. I wanted a good, crunchy, slightly salty, juicy, fried chicken. I was at the store buying our weekly 15 bags (they are tiny) of plantain chips and I…

Avocado Chicken Salad
Avocado Chicken Salad In our house we have two favorites: chicken thighs and avocado. I was really looking for a way to make a Paleo friendly chicken salad to put into lettuce wraps, but all the recipes had mayonnaise in them.

This Avocado Chicken Salad is an ultimate summer salad and is so refreshing and delicious!

Paleo Hack: Chipotle Chicken Bowl
One of my favorite Pre-Paleo restaurants is Chipotle Mexican Grill. I would get a Chipotle Chicken bowl full of black beans, corn, sour cream, chicken, guacamole and my all time favorite food: cilantro lime rice! For 8 months I haven’t stepped foot in a Chipotle and the craving for a Chipotle chicken bowl hit hard this week! I was looking through my Paleo recipe books and NomNom Paleo had a stir-fry rice recipe and I had the thought that it would be simple enough to make a cilantro and lime “white rice” recipe out of cauliflower! I made it and the whole meal took MAYBE 10-15 minutes to prepare and…
