Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze

One of my favorite things to make for company or bring to a dinner party is a simple Caprese Salad.  It is hands down the easiest thing you can throw together but packs a serious presentation punch!  If you can slice up a tomato and some mozzarella than you can make a caprese salad.  And if you have followed my blog at all, you know I am a firm believer in the balsamic glaze from Trader Joe's and guess what, here is yet another recipe where I use it!

Flourless, Sugar free, Dairy free, Gluten free, WALNUT PEANUT BUTTER Brownies

I didn't think it was possible to improve on the Flourless, Sugar Free, Dairy Free, Gluten Free Brownies from the other day, but boy was I wrong!  Adding walnuts and a drizzle of peanut butter gives them a little crunch and that sweet and salty combo that I love.

Flourless, Sugar Free, Dairy Free, Gluten Free BROWNIES

The 4th of July brings so many delicious foods, so for our BBQ yesterday I decided to try and make dessert healthy.  I know what you are thinking, flourless, sugar free, dairy free, gluten free brownies seems like they would be disgusting because lets be honest, all that stuff is what make yummy!

Mini Whole Wheat Grilled Chicken Sliders

Hello summer!  Which you know what that means, it's grilling season!  And may I say, I'm pretty sure this is my favorite season (not that it really matters what time of year, we are always grilling).  And what is right around the corner, the 4th of July!  Only like the best grilling holiday of them all!

Chicken Caesar Lettuce Cups

I know, you guys are probably sick of all these lettuce cup recipes I have been posting but seriously, what could be better?  They are all super quick to make, healthy, delicious, and how much fun is it to eat your dinner with your hands?! haha (ok so maybe that's just me)

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Cups

Well I am back at it again! On that lettuce cup kick that is.  My latest version?  Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Cups!  I have always had a thing for buffalo chicken so it was only natural that I come up with a healthier way to eat it (i.e. not crispy chicken wings slathered in sauce).  I feel like you can't go wrong with avocado, ranch, tomato and buffalo chicken.

Chicken Fajita Lettuce Cups

If you haven't noticed, I am kinda on a lettuce cup kick lately.  I am totally loving all the different ways to make them and they are all so delicious and way healthier than using tortillas or something like that.  And they are so quick and easy to make, you can't beat a delicious dinner on the table in about 20 minutes flat.  My latest ones, Chicken Fajita Lettuce Cups!  I love me some mexican food but it is packed full of carbs, but with these chicken fajita lettuce cups you get all the flavor and deliciousness of mexican food but without the carbs!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Cups

I have been trying to figure out healthy, quick weeknight dinners to make.  I have always been a fan of lettuce cups as a healthier alternative to things like tortillas.  I wanted to give these chicken cups a little asian flavor but without all the carbs and sugars typically found the sauces and dressings.

Chicken Enchilada Zucchini Boats

Ok, I am first to admit, I was hesitant about this.  How could enchiladas taste like enchiladas without any tortillas and with a bunch of zucchini?!  I really thought this was going to be one of those Pinterest fails where I ended up crying for ruining dinner and end up ordering pizza! haha But this one turned out AMAZING.  I highly recommend this as a low carb version of Chicken Enchiladas!

Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken Salad

I would say a new yummy salad for a new year but we have been making this salad for a while now and it's a staple in our house!  I just am finally blogging it!  This chicken has to be one of my favorite grilled chicken recipes.  We have made it a million times and it comes out perfectly every time.  It is so flavorful, so easy to just throw on the grill and makes the perfect topping for a healthy salad, or pair it with some rice and grilled veggies or throw it on top of a loaded baked potato!  I can't praise this grilled chicken enough and when you throw it on top of a salad with avocado, black olives, tomatoes, and shallots with a champagne dressing, you have me hooked!  

A HEALTHY take on a Taco Salad [Spinach, Arugula, and an Avocado Dressing!]

I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for those taco salads that they serve in the fried taco shell bowls.  The only problem is, there is nothing healthy about a giant deep fried taco shell, the ice burg lettuce the use to make the salads, and the calorie rich, creamy ranch dressing they smoother all over it.  Thats why we ventured out to try and give it a make over and make it a little bit better for you!  

We swapped the fried taco shell bowl for a baked one, ice burg lettuce for spinach and arugula, and that fattening ranch dressing for our homemade Avocado, Cilantro, Lime Dressing.

Healthy Cauliflower Alfredo over Fettuccine with Spinach and Chicken

We have been seeing all of these recipes for Cauliflower "Alfredo" sauce all over Pinterest so we thought we would try it out for ourselves.  There is no way cauliflower could have that creamy taste and texture of a traditional cream based alfredo sauce, right? WRONG!  This exceeded our expectations for how incredibly amazing it turned out!  You can eat an entire bowl of this Fettuccine with Cauliflower Alfredo and Spinach and Chicken and not feel the least bit guilty!
