Chicken and Kale Almond Butter Stew Chicken and Kale Almond Butter Stew

It’s frigid outside right now. F-R-I-G-I-D.

I don’t dislike winter, I swear, but right about now I could use a good dose of vitamin D and some sunshine. And since I’m not planning any trips down south a big hearty stew will have to do.  Creamy, flavourful and whole30 friendly this kale and chicken stew with almond butter is THE BEST to help you warm up while the temperature continues to dip.

Are you ready to give it a go?

Roast Chicken with Apple Cider (paleo, whole30)

Roast Chicken with Apple Cider

December is holiday entertaining time.

Yay! for entertaining and parties and friends and all the holiday cheer! But “sighhh” because what are we going to serve? what are we going to wear? who is actually going to clean the house? How do I have time for all of this?

I at least have the answer to one of those questions. This Roast Chicken with Apple Cider is absolutely delicious and perfect for entertaining! Your house smells amazing and you look like a total pro with a tender, juicy chicken that is perfectly browned and crispy on the outside. It comes with a wonderful tangy gravy made with the apple cider and chicken juices.  Did I also mention that this is paleo (uses ghee!) and whole30 compliant. Yup, you’re going to want to make this one.

Are you ready to give it a go, you party animal you?

So this right here is some serious trickery. Collard wraps.  You wrap your vegetables with another vegetable. I see you collard wraps. I see what you’re doing.  And I see how delicious you are.  That is some magic- and I kind of like it a lot. 

When you have an A++ sauce and fresh veggies and herbs and then a slow cooked Thai chicken all in the wrap- it’s bound to taste amazing!

What are you making for dinner this week? Our oven just kicked the bucket so I dusted off the ol’ slow cooker for this meal.  I know the slow cooker is so 2009 and everyone is on the Instant Pot bandwagon, but sometimes it’s nice to embrace that slow food. The idea of coming home to your house wafting with delicious and warming aromas because your dinner has been simmering all day is so comforting and feels like a big hug when you walk in the door.  AND, since I am oven-less and cold food in the winter is not fun at all (we are total hippies and don’t have a microwave) the slow cooker seemed like a great idea to make warm food. So please, SEND ME ALL OF YOUR FAVOURITE SLOW COOK RECIPES.
