Healthified Chicken & Mash Bowl
Okay, so there's this fried chicken chain restaurant that honestly I couldn't tell you the last time I ate at. They have these horribly amazing 'famous bowls' that I used to get back when I was younger and more naive when it came to food.
Fast-forward to today and I don't think that I could stomach sitting in that restaurants parking lot, much less eating anything that came out of it. Never mind that particular 'famous bowl' is nearly a whopping 800 calories and full of who-knows-what.
Even so, I decided to take on the task of re-creating that chicken bowl into one that I could eat and be proud of without feeling guilty...

It’s no secret that I do my best to eat as many vegetable and even vegetarian dishes as possible. Of course this isn’t an entirely vegetarian house, but I like to limit red meat to once a week and have at least two vegetarian dinners too. Over the past few years there’s been an enormous shift in the meatless section at the grocery store and now there are just limitless options to make it so easy to go meat free even if it’s just for one night.
That being said, you do have to be careful with some of those things. Sure they might be meatless, but that sometimes means that they’re loaded up with tons of fake nothingness as ingredients. These Air-Fried Veggie Nuggets are not only meatless and vegetarian, they’re also vegan and made with simple pantry and fridge staples that you likely already have on hand!…

Back-to-school is on the horizon, and being the mom of an ever growing little, I've found that there's a few tricks to getting kids to eat their dinner sometimes! One of the best ways is to make it fun. Yes, food can be fun and these Cornbread & Chicken Nugget Cupcakes are just that! Fun. It's a savory twist on a cupcake; letting the kids eat with their eyes first.
The base of the cupcake is made with a quick and easy cornbread muffin that's made by mixing together a self-rising cornmeal, cheese, and a creamed corn. This easy cornbread trick is one that I've been using for a couple of years now. And so far, it hasn't let me down yet! From there, the 'cupcakes' are topped with a potato and cauliflower mash 'frosting' which is also made with just a few ingredients…

My little girl is finally starting to think about liking chicken nuggets. I know... what kid doesn't like chicken nuggets to begin with? Well, mine! The girl could be a vegetarian yesterday. I've had to be pretty creative in these four years with getting protein in her. It's been quite an interesting... struggle ever since she was a teeny tiny little thing.
About a week ago I was sent this amazing product called 'Nuts over Fish' to try for free. Which, originally I thought was a little ironic since, well... I don't eat fish. It's completely a mental block that I've had since I was a little girl. No seafood as much as I'd like to love it - I just can't bring myself to eat it...
