10 Best Recipes from 2015

Over the years I've picked up the love of cooking new recipes. Sometimes I go to a restaurant and try something amazing and have to recreate it at home. I also get a peace of mind knowing what ingredients go into the meals that I eat and try to use less saturated fat, sodium, and other unhealthy ingredients when I can. I also use so many herbs and spices that salt is never added to my recipes and I prefer to use coconut oil and anti-oxidizing ingredients such as garlic to give my recipes flavor.

These are some of my favorite recipes that I made in 2015 and shared on the blog:

Easy Chicken Spring Salad


As a side note, I'm not so impressed my brand new Nikon DSLR took a dump on me while on vacation so I'm back to grainy photos until they return a working camera.

Now back to the point of this post... I love finding recipes that are easy to whip together because after working a long day, the last thing I want to do is spend any length of time in the kitchen. This recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prepare so it's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

1 5 oz. bag of Spring salad mix
1 bag of Perdue carved chicken breasts
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing

Serving size: 4


What To Do:
1. Cook chicken according to the directions on the package.
2. Toss all ingredients together with dressing and it's ready to serve. 
3. Enjoy!
