The weather is starting to really get cold which means it is time to start breaking out the sweaters and ladling out bowls of delicious chili. Paleo chicken chili is hearty and full of flavor. It is the perfect thing to warm you up on a cold, winter day. It makes a bunch too so you can look forward to leftovers!

I am always looking for dinner inspiration. There are so many options for finding recipes that it can be a little overwhelming but there are a few that I go back to over and over again. Of course, I love creating my own recipes and sharing them with others too. Whenever I find a new place to find recipe inspiration or share one of my recipes, I like to tell everyone about it so they can benefit too. I recently shared my chicken broccoli quinoa casserole on the brand new Food Lion Recipe Portal to help others with their dinner recipe needs.

Mondays during the summertime are always a little tougher. We spend a ton of time outdoors enjoying the pool or just hanging with friends so it is always a little harder to get back into the grind of the office. Of course, it doesn’t help when I also have wine slushies around the house either. So, in addition to resetting myself back into work mode, I also try to reset my body back in better eating mode. In our house, we do paleo meals Monday through Friday and then allow ourselves to indulge on the weekends. To me, it really is the best of both worlds. I don’t have to give up my cocktails and nachos, but I still give my body really good, real food for most of the week. This week, chipotle chicken with avocado salsa is on my menu.

Guess what day it is?! It is Paleo Monday. I am so excited to share with you one of my absolute favorite new recipes this week. I’ve been searching for a way to replace the chicken salad that I loved for lunch each and every day before going Paleo {er-ish}. Well, I think I finally done it. This paleo chicken salad is to die for and is so perfect for Spring and Summer lunches.

Warm summer nights usually mean I hang out in front of the grill cooking up kabobs or some other delicious grilled meal. Sometimes though, I am either just too hot or too tired to get out there and grill. Those are the nights that I pull out my recipe for teriyaki chicken quinoa bake and make a dinner that requires a little less active cooking than my typical grilled recipes.

I have a good friend {amaze-ball friend, really} who recently had to go gluten free for health reasons. Now, I know that these days there are all kinds of gluten free products out there to help people make the transition but it can still come as a shock to your system. So, in an effort to help and be supportive, I decided that I would start including more gluten free options here on the blog. I find that lunch is typically the most difficult meal for me to make specialized in any way because it usually eaten at the office so I decided to focus on lunch first and made this gluten-free chicken and kale salad topped with a carrot cucumber dressing. Not only is it gluten free but it is super healthy and delicious too.

I love to cook! In fact, if I had my way, I would totally spend all of my free time cooking in the kitchen. I hesitate to call myself a chef though because what I do in the kitchen is definitely more playing than anything of actual skill.
Of course, with playing around in the kitchen, comes a bunch of big messes. I’ve been known to knock over full boxes of quinoa onto the floor or have little pieces of pasta fall onto the floor when I break the spaghetti in smaller pieces for my kids to eat. There is a little corner in my kitchen that gets all the little extras that fall and don’t get noticed because I am focused on the food and not the clean up. Then, when I run the little mini vacuum around the kitchen to do our nightly cheerio pick up, that food just gets bypassed because it is too far in the corner for the little vacuum to reach.
