Chicken & Shrimp Taco Bowl
What do you do when your 3 boys want tacos and your husband doesn’t want carbs?? I made a low carb taco bowl. The bottom is filled with pre-packaged shredded cabbage…great for the crunch you crave in a taco. I added a bunch of protein with the shrimp and chicken breast. You can be very…

This is a vegetable that I always passed by at the grocery store because honestly…I just didn’t know what to do with it! This Saturday, I decided to jump in and just get some. I thought it might pair nicely with some sweet potatoes and I guessed right! The crunch from the swiss chard went…

Healthy Baked Cheddar Ranch Chicken
This chicken was really moist and seasoned very well. I actually double the recipe so that I would have leftovers and could slice some and top a salad for my husband. I substituted parmesan cheese for the cheddar because I thought the cheddar might melt too quickly and burn. I halved the chicken breasts width…
