Paleo Chicken Nuggets

By 16 Comments

Paleo Chicken Nuggets? Is that seriously a thing? When I first saw people recreating chicken nuggets, I thought to myself “they could not possibly be like the real thing…” But I’m not kidding when I say these make me feel like I’m eating real chicken nuggets.

 Paleo chicken nuggets that taste like the real thing!!

Let me tell you a little bit about my relationship with chicken nuggets. They were a huge part of my childhood. No matter where we went to eat, I ordered chicken nuggets. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. It was a known thing to my family and friends, that I ate nothing but chicken. And if there was no chicken, I just wouldn’t eat!

5 Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes

By Leave a Comment

Today is my first Sharing Saturday. Instead of sharing something from my own kitchen, I’m going to share some from my favorite bloggers’ kitchens.

Thanksgiving is less than 15 days away, so I thought it’d be appropriate to share 5 Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes.

Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes

Roasted Turkey Breast

What is Thanksgiving without turkey? This recipe comes from one of my favorite Paleo food blogs, Zen Belly Blog. Her recipes are always spot on, because she is a chef in San Francisco. I always like what she has to say, you should follow her on Instagram.

Streuseled Sweet Potatoes

I really like the looks of this recipe. It would be a great addition on a Thanksgiving buffet. If I made it I’d omit the palm sugar, and reduce the maple syrup. Sweet Potatoes are sweet anyways!

Sauteed Acorn Squash with Paleo Cherry- Maple Cranberry Sauce

New obsession… acorn squash. If you haven’t tried it, you need to. This recipe looks aaamazing!

Green Beans

This is the way I make my green beans. Since they’ll be on my table for Thanksgiving, I thought they should be included!

Paleo Pumpkin Pie

I am personally not the biggest fan of pumpkin, but this recipe makes it look so good. Since its Thanksgiving, a holiday, I thought I’d share desserts as well. Feel free to lower the level of sweetness in these recipes by reducing the maple syrup/honey/sugar.

I think my problem for the longest time was not knowing how to cook. I would try asparagus, broccoli, and other veggies and thought I hated them, but I just didn’t know how to make them taste good! For people in college, like me, or even for people who just don’t know how to cook, I’m here to save you! Today I’ll tell you the easiest way to make asparagus.

Asparagus are a wonderful vegetable to include in your diet. They contain folic acid and antioxidants. They were used in Ancient Greece and Rome as a natural remedy to flush out the kidneys. They lower blood pressure (due to diuretic action), stimulate digestion (due to bitterness), purify the blood, removes uric acid, anti-parasitic, promotes fertility, and helps halt kidney disease. Enough reasons to make you want to eat some tonight?
