Cookie dough protein bites

I am in desperate need of some good protein snacks that I can just grab. I love my quest bars but they can get expensive. I found this recipe & oh my gosh, they almost taste exactly like cookie dough!! The best part about these is that there is hardly any sugar in them & they are still that good :)

Crockpot chicken tomato cream (aka vodka sauce)

Today I had some leftover chicken & wanted something I could throw in the crockpot. Found this recipe & it did not disappoint. I was going to make zucchini noodles but didn't have time so I threw a spaghetti squash in the oven & we ate it with that & some steamed broccoli. It was delicious! Jaedyn downed it plus has eaten leftovers a few times :)

Paleo beef Thai stew

This recipe is absolutely amazing but I'm not surprised because against all grain never ever disappoints. I honestly couldn't get enough of this and cried a little when it was all gone. I may try this with chicken soon because I'm cheap & beef is more expensive. Lol. 

Enjoy!

MeaoLoaf with mushrooms

Tonight I needed to use up some ground beef & mushrooms, but really wasn't in the mood for burgers. So the next best thing I thought would be meatloaf  and it was! 

Jaedyn loved this and so much so that she ate it 3 days in a row which is a lot for her since these days it's so hard to get her to eat what we are eating. 

Anyway. Try this because it won't disappoint. :)

Slow cooked creole pulled chicken

Today is my split day so I needed an easy crockpot meal. Saw this one & I had to try it. A few weeks ago when I was with my in laws, one of my brother-in-laws busted out this creole seasoning that was AMAZING! I hadn't never seen or used it before then, but decided that once I got home, I had to get some. I kind of forgot about it once I got back to Utah (surprise, surprise) until I found this recipe. Low and behold it called for Tonys creole seasoning so how could I not try it. Both Dave & myself loved the flavor of this chicken. Even jaedyn liked it. It is spicy so I had some milk to her bowl to calm the heat down. 

Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Pumpkin cream chicken casserole

Tonight was another casserole in part because I needed to use up a spaghetti squash. I love paleomg's recipes. She is so talented & knows flavors. This one was a definite winner. Enjoy!

Chipotle chicken cauliflower casserole

Oh boy was this ever good. Even though it's super hot outside, I've been doing a lot of easy casseroles because life has been crazy & they reheat nicely in the oven just before you eat it. 

This one did not disappoint. I added extra veggies like akwYs, plus a half a can of coconut milk to give it more of a sauce. I also roasted my cauliflower with a little olive oil & garlic salt instead of steaming them just because I love them that way. I will definitely will make this again soon because leftovers only lasted a day! Ha!
