Let Us Wrap!

If you know me, you know I LOVE wraps + paninis.

If there are ways to make wraps or paninis healthier, you know I am going to get it a go!

Lettuce wraps have been big for a while now and are especially amazing with chicken! Buffalo Chicken is a favorite of mine (like the majority of people) and I figured it would be a great + refreshing way to enjoy it with a nice, crisp lettuce wrap. 

The fresh crunch paired with the spicy buffalo chicken it a "match made in heaven."

Prepare 2-3 chicken breasts + place
in the bottom of the crockpot. 

Cut up peppers, onions, celery + any other veggies you'd like,

Pour 3/4 bottle of Franks Buffalo Sauce on top
of the chicken + veggies. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Shred the chicken.

Garnish the lettuce wrap with low fat Ranch,
blue cheese crumbles
and/or low fat cheddar cheese and enjoy!

I Like it Hot 'n Spicy

With temperatures below freezing, there's no better time to make warm + hearty dishes.
What could be better, healthier + more satisfying than a great meal of Crockpot Chicken Chili?!

Do you like your chili HOT? Spicy? Sweet?

Add in as many veggies as you wish. The more creative you get, the better!

If you're lacking creativity, feel free to steal the recipe below! It is AMAZING + guarantees leftovers!

Clean veggies for the chili + slice.

Use celery, green peppers or jalapeño peppers.

 

Peel 1 Sweet Onion +  dice.

Or have someone who doesn't mind the potency of an onion help out!

Add 2-3 chicken breasts, 1 (6 ounce) can of tomato paste, 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (fat free, low sodium), 2 tbsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp black pepper, pinch of sea salt, 1 (15.5 ounce) can of kidney beans (drained + rinsed), 1 (15.5) can of organic black beans (drained + rinsed). 

Cook on low for 8 hours.

Pull chicken then stir it up + garnish with low fat cheddar cheese. 

Enjoy!
