Mexican "rice" with chicken

I admittedly am NO chef!!! I literally threw this dish together in like 10 minutes, though so if I can do it- you TOTALLY can LOL.

I've been shifting my MINDSET about food and this new program I'm doing is helping SO MUCH! And I get to eat A LOT!!!

As I'm learning to love NEW veggies (yes I'm also one of the PICKIEST eaters you'll meet UP UNTIL NOW ;) ), making NEW quick and easy recipes helps a TON! So, I hope you love this one as much as I do!!!

If you're a rice lover, you have GOT to try cauliflower rice- seriously buy it FROZEN, already "riced" and you have so many options! Don't close your mind to this healthy option until you've tried it MORE than once!

I made this recipe with my already prepped from my Crockpot Chicken Tacos which made this super easy! It IS spicy so if you don't love too much spice or you're making for the kiddos too, I would scale back on the red pepper and chili powder :)

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen riced cauliflower
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp chili powder

Directions:
Place olive oil in hot pan.
Add cauliflower.
Stir constantly until cauliflower is translucent.
Add in spices and stir until well combined.
Serve with chicken on top.

Optional: You can add cheese, Greek yogurt and/or avocado for extra touches!

Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These delicious cookies are gluten free with no flour! Adapted this recipe that originally called for brown sugar, changing it up with healthier coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is lower glycemic index than traditional sugar and NATURAL. I always use it to replace brown sugar in recipes. These cookies are so yummy- you would never know they're made with NO refined sugar!

Ingredients: 

1 cup creamy peanut butter  
3/4 cup coconut sugar  
1 large egg  
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon salt  
1 cup dark chocolate morsels 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients except chocolate.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop batter by rounded tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes until puffed and lightly browned.
Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
ENJOY!!!

These are NOT low calorie cookies ;) They are however MUCH better for you than traditional peanut butter or chocolate chip cookies.
