I really outdid myself in the recipe department this week.
Chicken taco bowls
Scallops and asparagus
Sweet potato hash
First up: Chicken taco bowls
By far one of the easiest recipes! I throw the chicken in
the crock pot in the morning. Get home and shred it. Done. BUT you can’t just
use a taco seasoning packet…so, I made my own and it is sooo good! Check it

I followed this recipe and its great! I used chicken, but you could definitely use another meat if you’d prefer! And you can make it in larger quantities and store it in the cupboard. I put tomato, cilantro, and squeezed lime juice in my food processor to make a salsa for the chicken and added avocado.
Next: Scallops and asparagus
MY FAVORITE dish so far! Yum! And easy. Sauteed the scallops
in a pan with olive oil and sprinkled sea salt and pepper. About 3 minutes per
side and they are done! I grilled the asparagus with lemon juice, olive oil,
onion powder, salt and pepper. The scallops were so rich and delicious.
Definitely a treat!
Did you know scallops are really good for you!??

I got desperate and needed dessert..bad. So, I created one.
In my handy dandy food processor I threw a frozen banana, teaspoon of pure
vanilla, half handful of chia seeds, almond butter, and unsweetened almond milk
to smooth. Eat with a spoon. Amazing, banana almond butter custard. And its
good for you.
Last but NOT least: Sweet potato hash
A sweet potato dish I like! Shout out to Jordan Faulder for
this fabulous dish. She has said she tried it on a trip to Dallas and fell in
love. So glad she shared because I did as well! These are the directions she
gave me. I followed them exactly and had great results. She noted that you can add any veggies that
you want.
Ingredients:
- Sweet potato
- Bacon (from whole foods - it's organic and
make sure you get the nitrate free bacon if you choose to use it)
- Red Pepper
- Garlic
- Avocado
- Green Onions
- Olive Oil
- Salt/Pepper
- Farm Fresh Egg
First, I preheat the oven to 400 degrees and I
put the bacon on a cooking sheet lined with tin foil and I cook it in the oven
for about 8-10 minutes. Bacon in the oven is so stinkin good.
In the meantime I cubed the sweet potato. I
left the skin on, but feel free to peel first. Mince a clove or two of garlic,
cut the pepper into pieces, and slice the green onions.
I sautéed the garlic for a couple minutes in a
tablespoon or two of olive oil over medium heat in a pan. May need to add a
little more as potatoes soak up the oil fast. Next, I added the cubed sweet
potatoes and turn the heat up a little bit and cook those until they are soft. I
added in the pepper last and continued cooking for about 3-5 more minutes.
At this point you can add any remaining
ingredients. I didn’t add the avocado or egg until it was plated.
Feel free to send any recipes or ideas my way!
