Chicken Sausage Jambalaya

Now I will start this with a disclaimer before people go crazy…..no this isn’t authentic Cajun southern Jambalaya. But it’s pretty close and very delicious. It also uses chicken sausage to cut down on fat. I got this Johnsonville chicken sausage on sale at the store and wanted to do something really fun and flavorful that accompanied the flavors already in the sausage. This Chicken Sausage Jambalaya comes out amazing with that heat that hits you after a few bites.  Continue reading “Chicken Sausage Jambalaya”

Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

Vegetarian

As delicious as carbs are, sometimes you need to cut them out. I’m all for moderation so I would never tell you to give up those amazing carbs but if you are looking for a way to get away from the carbs for awhile then this recipe for Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice is perfect. I used a bag of pre-made rice that I bought. You can find already made rice here. However, if you want to make your own it is very easy. Just take one large cauliflower and break it into florets. Rinse them well and pat dry. Then place them into a food processor and pulse until it’s the consistency of rice. Then you are ready to go! If you are looking for more cauliflower rice options, check out this Chicken Fried Cauliflower Rice!  Continue reading “Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice”

Chicken Cobb Salad

Chicken Cobb Salad

Happy June! Summer is finally here and now it’s time for some really light but delicious meals. You don’t want a super heavy dish when it’s hot outside so this Chicken Cobb Salad is the perfect thing. The chicken and egg packs it full of protein without weighing you down and the avocado gives you a boost of healthy fat along with the vegetables giving you the freshness you crave. You can top this with whatever dressing that you want but an avocado ranch would be fantastic, I love this brand because it’s not loaded with extra sugar and won’t ruin all the healthy perks of the salad. This is definitely a meal you will want to eat every day!  Continue reading “Chicken Cobb Salad”

Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard boiled eggs are a food item with many different uses. It’s an easy way to get protein in the morning, they are huge on Easter and they are a vital ingredient on a Cobb salad! They are also the main star of egg salad and of course, a party favorite, deviled eggs! One of the two biggest complaints I’ve seen about hard boiled eggs are that it’s hard to find the right length of time to cook them and getting the shell of is always troublesome.  Continue reading “Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs”

Spicy Bean and Corn Salad

Vegetarian

There are a few really great things about this Spicy Black Bean and Corn Salad! First of all, it’s insanely easy to make so you don’t have to worry about standing in front of the stove. Next, it’s full of fiber so it’s very healthy for you. My husband makes a big batch of this to eat throughout the week when he’s meal planning. Finally, it’s gluten-free and vegan! This is a great beginner recipe if you are just starting out on a new diet plan. What I love about this also is that it’s a great leftover food, it reheats as well as the first time so you can make a lot ahead of time and keep it on hand for when you need a meal.  Continue reading “Spicy Bean and Corn Salad”
