I also added another video (on the right side of the page under videos) about The Whole 30 if you are interested, check it out! :)

This weekend was clean eating in 2016! I made Paleo chicken fingers and spaghetti with sweet potato and carrot noodles!  Delicious!  

Here is the chicken after it was breaded ready to go in the oven 

The spaghetti with sweet potato noodles was amazing! 

Here's the noodles fresh out of the oven 

I just added another page called "Super Healthy Recipes". I've added the Sweet Potato Chili recipe and about to add the Paleo chicken fingers and Spaghetti with sweet potato/ carrot noodles!

Tonight I made sweet potato chili.  A friend at work is on the whole 30 diet and suggested I try it. This recipe excludes the beans ( which can cause inflammation) and peppers and adds carrots and sweet potatoes instead!  It's a little spicy and sweet ☺️.  This is our new favorite chili!  It's easy enough to make right after work instead of waiting for it to cook in the slow cooker and no indigestion!

I roasted the potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees and then cut into small pieces. 

Here is the chili cooking before potatoes added.... Sorry for the steam...

Finished!  Yum! 

Friday was our annual cookie bake.  So much fun getting together with David's mom and sister.  We really outdid ourselves this year!  I made Reese's cookies, Chocolate cookie dough brownies, and Rolo Toffee Chocolate chip cookies.  Sarah made chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies, and Darlene made Thumbprint jam cookies, white chocolate popcorn, and snicker doodles!  Oh my!  Everything was a success!  I'll be posting my cookie recipes in desserts soon :)

I A couple weekends ago I made minestrone tortellini soup!  It was amazing.  I just love the changing of the seasons and trying new soup recipes.  Always makes me want to bake!  😊

October is my favorite month!  I love Halloween and when the weather changes for fall.  Perfect soup weather!  Yesterday I decorated sugar cookies, carved pumpkins, and roasted pumpkin seeds with my friend Raegena.  The cookies tuned out so cute!  I made the sugar cookies from scratch and added coconut extract to the dough and frosting.  They turned out quite tasty!  Raegina made a chocolate cookie with the Hershey kisses.  I think I've started a tradition with the pumpkin seeds... Gena loves them!  I always look forward to spending time with her.  :)

I added coconut extract to the frosting and cookies to add flavor.  Delicious!

For lunch we had tuna melts with roasted cauliflower white cheddar soup!  The soup looks very milky in this picture and for some reason I forgot to take a picture of it in my bowl, but it's a tasty soup.  It reminds me of a potato soup but lighter, and you get some veggies instead!    

Pumpkin seeds! 

Such a fun day!  Recipes soon in the desserts, sandwiches, and soups sections!
