Made using a simple technique, this chicken gets so crispy in the oven – it’s hard to believe it isn’t deep fried! It’s easy to make and way less messy than the traditional way – no greasy stove to clean! Have you ever been disappointed by a really promising recipe on the Internet? I’m sure you have. I know I have! And more than once.   There was the sheet cake incident of 2006. The pumpkin cream cheese cupcake mishap of 2013. The stir fry mess up of 2015.

I can assure you one thing though: If you love crispy fried chicken, crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside – this is the real deal right here. With a coating that actually sticks to the chicken. One that gets truly crispy in the oven. And the best part? None of the greasy stovetop cleaning. You won’t be disappointed by this recipe – it’s the BEST Crispy Buttermilk Ov...

These healthy blueberry zucchini muffins are bursting with warm freshly baked blueberries and a sweet crumb topping; you’d never guess they contain a vegetable! This recipe was originally posted in July of 2014, but it was ready to be remade, especially when my little nephew was in here and in need of healthy snacks from his crazy health nut auntie.  I made these at the same time I made the coconut oil banana muffins when my family came to visit a few months ago. I will say the coconut oil muffins were a little less messy than the blueberry ones,  but he loved them both.  He wasn’t the only one that loved them either; my MIL loved them so much she made them every week for a month! After Mr. Hungry had tried them, he said they were good but what they needed to seal the deal was a crumb topping!  I’d never made a crumb topping before, so I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, or if it could be done semi-healthy. It turns out it’s just a mix...

Want a healthy dessert option or super chocolatey snack? These vegan fudgy chocolate protein brownies are what velvety rich chocolate dreams are made of, and they are top eight free so that everyone can enjoy them! Do you know what word I frequently forget how to spell?  Protein.  Ya, I know, it’s just that sometimes that i likes to slip in front of that e, even though it’s not after c.  Then, even when I fix it, I’m left staring at the word thinking that something is wrong, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.  So, I google how to spell protein, find out that I’m right, and leave feeling slightly unsettled.  Does that ever happen to anyone else or just me?  Speaking of protEIn, you can taste the protein powder in these brownies, but just slightly.  Ever since I was pregnant I’ve been uber sensitive to the taste of protein powder, I’m getting better, but I still don’t like it.  These brownies, on t...

All opinions are mine alone.#PlantBasedGoodness #CollectiveBias Gluten-free honey oat bread made with just a few simple ingredients in only one bowl!  No refined flour (oat flour only), butter or dairy! Happy Monday friends!  How was your weekend?  Mine was, um, interesting?  Last week I worked non-stop around the clock from 5 am to 8 pm, and I still didn’t stay on top of everything I needed to do.  I got almost all of it done but definitely not all.

Mason jar baked oats give you the convenience of portable oatmeal with the irresistible warm muffin like the texture of baked oats, it’s the best of both worlds!  (gluten-free, vegan option) Muahahahahahahahahahahahah O.M.G. you guys I hit the jackpot with this one!  You are going to love it, I promise.  The reason I know is that I’ve made these once a week for four weeks in a row now, needless to say, these little jars of blueberry bliss are a new favorite in the Shallal household. So, for Mr. Hungry’s LEAP/MRT test he was pretty much limited to oats for breakfast.  The first week I made him cookies for breakfast, but since he had caught a cold and got sick he kind of developed an aversion to them.  Sadly, I was back to square one. At first,  I was going to make him some overnight oats when out of nowhere the idea to bake oats in portable mason jars popped into my head.   It was truly a moment of divine inspiration because there...

Keto diets have become incredibly popular in recent times thanks to their great effects on our weight and health as well. There are many keto recipes that are more delicious than anything else, and the good thing about the keto diet is that it doesn’t feel like a diet at all. Today we’re going to show you a nice keto bread recipe that you can eat safely every day without fearing that you’ll gain weight. The bread is quite simple to prepare and is a perfect addition to a low-fat diet. It won’t take too much of your time and once you try it, you won’t go back to regular bread again! The secret to the delicious keto bread is the separation of the egg yolks and whites. Separate them from 6 eggs, then beat the whites until they’re fluffy. This will give the bread some volume and will counteract the density that comes with almond flour. The problem with almond flour is that sometimes the product is much denser than you want, but with this simple trick, you ...

These low carb keto biscuits are so tender and fluffy, you won’t believe they are flourless. They take less than 30 minutes to make and are gluten free, keto and low carb. I am really excited to share this biscuit recipe with you today. I’ve been testing them all week and trying my hardest not to gobble them all up. However, if you don’t have any sour cream in the house, you can also use cream cheese or plain greek yogurt. Cream cheese requires a little extra work because you need to soften and beat the cream cheese so that it blends easily into the batter. You will also have a stronger cheese flavor in the biscuits. Plain reek yogurt will reduce the fat content of these biscuits. It still keeps the biscuits moist, but they aren’t quite as rich as the sour cream or cream cheese versions. These tender, soft drop biscuits are ready in less than 30 minutes. You won't miss the flour at all! These biscuits are gluten free, keto and low carb. PRINT RECIPE 4.96 FROM 46 ...

Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad is a fresh and light side dish perfect for summer BBQs and potlucks. Grill the corn for a little extra something special. It’s a fresh and light side dish that screams summer! We try to teach our kids the value of money. They earn an allowance by doing chores throughout the week. Today, I looked out the kitchen window to see my son spraying sunblock in the air like tropical air freshener. All I saw was a mist of dollar bills – that stuff is liquid gold. Lesson fail. Speking of wasting money, I’m pretty sure the ice cream truck guy is stalking us. I swear he pulls his van up to our house and turns up his carnival music. It puts me in an awkward position. I look like the grumpy mom if I deny my kids, who are jumping up and down in front of the truck, ice cream in this blasted heat. Even though my kids use their own money they’ve earned, the prices are ridiculously high. I give in every once in a while…immediately followed by a ...
