Thai Cabbage Salad with Sunbutter Dressing

July 14, 2017May 20, 2018 Chelsea 2 Comments

Looking for something crunchy, fresh, and veggie-licious? You’re going to want to toss this Thai Cabbage Salad with Sunbutter Dressing together.

This recipe is the second in a series of Sunbutter recipes I made with Kylee of Kai Fitness! The other two recipes are a simple, creamy Sunbutter Fruit Dip and fudgy Sunbutter Sweet Potato Brownies.

I cook a lot (go figure) and I’m constantly putting together new recipes (again, go figure). But I can attest, without a doubt, that this Thai cabbage salad is one of my favorite creations to date.

Quick note: Kylee asked me to create a recipe or two for the giveaway. This post isn’t sponsored by Sunbutter, but the giveaway is.

Grilled BBQ-Rubbed Chicken Drumsticks

July 8, 2017May 20, 2018 Chelsea 2 Comments

Fire up the grill and bust out the spices for some crazy simple Grilled BBQ-Rubbed Chicken Drumsticks!

Everyone could use a good BBQ spice rub in their lives. More often than not, I prefer a flavorful spice rub to sauce. Overdoing sauce and masking the flavors of the meat itself is easy to do, but with spice rubs you get the best of both worlds.

Another perk? With these drumsticks, you don’t have to worry about basting or marinating or anything like that. All you’ve got to do is toss the chicken in the spice rub until it’s properly coated and grill. Couldn’t get easier, could it?

BBQ Chicken Smothered Sweet Potato Fries

June 29, 2017May 20, 2018 Chelsea 3 Comments

BBQ Chicken Smothered Sweet Potato Fries are an example of my ideal meal anatomy.

You’ve got the base – simply baked sweet potato fries in all their carby splendor. Pile on some protein made flavorful via sauce or spices. Add a generous heaping of toppings like chopped veggies and herbs. Drizzle on extra sauce to truly get things going.

That’s the exact formula for my (insanely similar) Buffalo Chicken Smothered Fries recipe. In a way, this feels like cheating…but frankly, I enjoyed this meal too much to keep it to myself!

Kung Pao Chicken Thighs

Sweet and spicy Kung Pao Chicken Thighs serve up a heavy dose of flavor in a single skillet! You’ll fall head over heels for this simple paleo recipe that delivers sticky smoldering heat.

We eat chicken thighs at least once a week, especially when we’re trying to save money. Chicken thighs are an inexpensive protein option (way cheaper than chicken breasts) and they’re incredibly versatile. Bone-in thighs are an easy choice for easy meals.

Usually I opt for the dead simple route and make simple crispy cast iron chicken thighs. But since we’ve been eating them so often lately, I’ve had the urge to try something new. Kung Pao chicken thighs were born, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

One-Skillet Chicken with Mushrooms & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Creating a one-skillet chicken meal serves a couple different uses for me. First off, this One-Skillet Chicken with Mushrooms & Sun-Dried Tomatoes makes a hearty and simple meal for you. One skillet meals are the ticket to a quick but fulfilling meal.

Second, it allows me to practice some kitchen techniques I haven’t had much experience with in the past. I sincerely enjoy learning new cooking skills, so this catapulted to the top of my recipe testing list after I saw similar recipes around the web.
