Low Carb Cheesy Chicken Casserole with Poblano Peppers

October 22, 2018 by Faith 5 Comments

This Low Carb Cheesy Chicken Casserole with Poblano Peppers is a fun Tex-Mex twist on your basic chicken casserole!

I know this is a pretty bold statement, but I have to say, chicken is my favorite protein. Not only is it mild in flavor and aroma (unlike some things like lamb and certain types of seafood), but it’s a wonderful blank slate to showcase other flavors. Chicken lends itself well to any number of cuisines, can be prepared in a variety of different ways, and is one of the most crowd-pleasing meats.…

September 5, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

This Low Carb Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe is a great way to celebrate the last grilling days of the season, but it’s equally delicious cooked in the oven year-round. In the seemingly endless variety of ways to cook chicken, it’s fun to take a little global inspiration. With a complex blend of savory spices, a touch of heat, depth from soy sauce, and the freshness of lime, this is a hard dish to pass up. Note that in terms of the heat level, I kept it more on the mild side as written, but feel free to adjust the heat level up or down based […]...

January 22, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Thank you Potatoes USA for sponsoring this post. Make a delicious and convenient meal for your family tonight with potatoes! Rich and creamy Chicken Pot Pie Topped with Garlic and Herb Potato Mash is the perfect nourishing meal on a chilly day. In college I used to stock up on premade chicken soup products. I would buy all kinds of flavors: chowder-style, with dumplings, chicken noodle, pot pie, etc. At that time I knew how to cook about five things, mostly just variations of eggs and pasta. (And throwing together a sandwich definitely doesn’t count as cooking!)...

July 24, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

This Chicken Caprese Recipe with Lemon and Thyme transforms a classic Caprese salad into a flavorful meal! It strikes the right balance between being satisfying but not overly heavy. One of the best things about summer is the food. Whether your favorite is corn, watermelon, peaches, green beans, or tomatoes, there seems to be some new local produce popping up at the farmers market every week. I, for one, am hard-pressed to choose a favorite....

Low and Slow Strawberry-Balsamic Pulled Chicken {Paleo} is a unique twist on classic pulled BBQ chicken; it’s the perfect dish to bring to a spring or summer potluck! When I go strawberry picking, I just can’t help it; it’s like some kind of primal instinct takes over and I suddenly want to pick all the berries. It’s like I’m on the hunt for food and the lives of my tribe members depend on it, lol. (Is anyone else the same way?)...

January 13, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

This gluten and lactose-free Easy 5-Ingredient Chicken Parmesan Quinoa Casserole is the type of meal that makes smart use of a few pre-made or leftover ingredients so all you have to do is assemble it and toss it in the oven! Chicken Parm is one of those things that always calls my name when I see it on a menu. It’s really hard to beat the combination of crispy breaded chicken topped with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. But it’s actually pretty rare that I order it!...

Thai-Inspired Chicken and Vegetable Detox Soup {Paleo}

January 2, 2017 by Faith 8 Comments

This cleansing paleo Thai-Inspired Chicken and Vegetable Detox Soup is packed full of both flavor and nutrients. After all the making merry that goes on during the holiday season, most of us could probably use a little TLC in the form of nutrition. After even just a couple days of less conscious eating (read: junk food indulging!) I find that I’m noticeably less energetic, more bloated, and less able to focus. I don’t like to beat myself up over it (because that just leads to a bad relationship with food and let’s be honest, ain’t nobody got time for that), but I do like to […]...

This gluten-free Low-Carb Cheesy Leftover Turkey (or Chicken) Jalapeno Popper Casserole can be made ahead using leftover turkey or chicken; make a double batch (in two casserole dishes) so you have dinner set for another night too! I know by this point you’re probably sick of being bombarded with every manner of Thanksgiving recipe, but I come bearing a little inspiration on what to do with leftover turkey after the big day. I realize every family has a few staple recipes using leftover turkey that absolutely have to get made every year; maybe it’s your grandma’s Turkey Barley Vegetable Soup, Turkey Tetrazzini, Turkey Pot Pie, or […]...

October 28, 2016 by Faith 6 Comments

Switch up your regular chicken dinner routine with this paleo Jamaican-inspired Jerk Roasted Chicken Thighs and Sweet Potato Dinner with Creamy Honey-Jalapeno Sauce. The more I have the chance to spend time in different areas of the country, the more I realize that where you’re from is often depicted in the way you drive. In your car is where things get real. When my sister lived in North Carolina, she told me about what she liked to call Southern charm. She said everyone is sweet as a Georgia peach pie (as in, ohhh, bless her heart) until they get into their car and then it’s no […]...
