Crispy Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

Crispy Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets with Honey Dijon Poppy Seed Dip. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com!

There are certain words my fingers cannot type properly. I know how to spell nuggets but my fingers for some reason type out nuggest. I just had to manually type that because my computer wanted to autocorrect.  You’re right computer. It’s nuggets. I also can’t type the word pumpkin without a g at the end. Pumpking Pie is my favorite pie. See?

Other words I have a problem with:

apart, you’re, thorough

The brain doesn’t connect with the fingers sometimes. Especially when I’m hungry.

My friend Heather just came out with a spectacular cookbook called Pure Delicious. Not only are the pictures beautiful, but all the of the recipes are allergen free! That means there are over 150 recipes and not one of them contains gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish or cane sugar. Bam! Heather knows what’s up!

First recipe I wanted to try was these Crispy Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets. I typed nuggest again. UGH. The recipe says it serves 2-4 and in my house it served 2. They’re crispy, crunchy, tender and super tasty with the honey mustard/poppy seed dipping sauce. By the end, I squirted some hot sauce on top because that’s how we do. This is definitely going in the rotation….and next time I’m gonna figure out a way to turn the nuggs (new word that I didn’t misspell-at least I don’t think) into crispy “hot wing” bites.

Mushroom Arugula Toast

Creamy Mushroom Arugula Toast with Poached Eggs. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

Sometimes I forget about mushrooms. I forget how much I love them and always wish I had more whenever I make cook them. Poor mushrooms. I apologize for the neglect.

Over-dramatization.

Creamy Mushroom Arugula Toast with Poached Eggs. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

Sometimes all it takes is a little reminder. A nudge, if you will. I had to buy mushrooms for a photo shoot last week and then I ended up buying them again for myself because I was dreaming about mushroom toast.

Creamy Mushroom Arugula Toast with Poached Eggs. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

Mushrooms, garlic, with creamy goat cheese, and loads of parsley and arugula on top of grilled, olive oil drizzled toast.

Oh. And I pushed it over the edge of deliciousness with some poached eggs. #putaneggonit

This is one of those recipes that could be eaten breakfast/lunch/dinner. Add more greens and you can call it a salad. At least, I think so…

Lime Ginger Broccoli Salad

Lime Ginger Broccoli Salad is a great way to wake up your taste buds and give your body a good RESET. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com!

I wrote a post on Books to Inspire Healthy Eating and you know what? I’m starting to eat healthier!

I totally put starting in italics.

I typed that right after taking a sip of a turmeric carrot juice, ginger beer  bourbon concoction from a flimsy paper straw that looks like graph paper. #cryforhelp #retoxdetox

Back to this health thing.

First recipe I tried from the Bondi Harvest cookbook is a success.

Did it trigger that part in my brain that likes green things? YES IT DID.

Lime Ginger Broccoli Salad is a great way to wake up your taste buds and give your body a good RESET. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com!

One of my favorite things about broccoli is that it does a great job of soaking up whatever sauce/dressing it’s tossed with.

I always add them into stir fry situations for that very fact. That’s also why I hog the broccoli and my family only gets the beef part when we order Broccoli Beef. Sorry family!  I have a feeling they’re secretly thanking me.

Lime Ginger Broccoli Salad is a great way to wake up your taste buds and give your body a good RESET. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com!

This dressing is a citrus ginger explosion. There’s a little bit of heat with a jalapeño. It helps round out flavor profile. The creamy avocado and the crunch almonds give this salad some great depth. So many flavors. So many textures. Coconut oil seems like a lot, but it works!   You’re suddenly in a trance and you think french fries are a bad idea. You’re all healthy in this moment. This moment of eating this big ole green salad.

It might be the Reset Button Salad of 2016 because HOLY CALIBRATION, Batman. My body is like YES because my taste buds are activated and satisfied.

That could also be the bourbon talking.
