Buffalo Chicken Casserole

If you are into Paleo/Whole30 eating you have most probably heard of PaleOMG.

If you haven't heard of Juli Bauer, and seen her delicious food then GO LOOK HERE.


She not only makes amazing paleo food but she is also into fitness and fashion so I have a small obsession with her lately.

Her recent recipe for Buffalo Chicken Casserole is BLOWING up.
It is obviously paleo, but also totally Whole30 approved.




 JULIS RECIPE IS HERE 

If you know anything about my cooking style yet I do not follow recipes. I got the idea of her casserole and made it my own and didn't measure anything because that's not how I roll.

I decided to use shredded chicken instead of ground chicken. I put three chicken breasts in the crock pot on high with some bone broth and seasonings for three hours then shredded it.

I sautéed jalapeños instead of the bell pepper her recipe called for.

Once the veggies were tender I added them to the crock pot of shredded chicken. 


Then I mixed in the mayo and buffalo sauce. 



I tasted it and it wasn't very spicy so I added cayenne to mine too. Then I shredded up the spaghetti squash and added it in. 



As I was doing this is looked so much like chicken spaghetti that I decided my next task will be to create chicken spaghetti since basically that's what this casserole does but with the addition of buffalo sauce. I mixed it all up added in the three beaten eggs and put it in a baking dish. 


I think mine was a little more liquid than it should be because of the way I cooked my chicken. You could avoid that by shredding like rotisserie chicken or using the ground meat like her recipe calls for. It didn't affect it though. It baked up fine. YUMMMM 




Once it was all baked and yummy I divided it into tupperware for my lunch this week. I think this would be REALLY good with some extra celery and tessemaes ranch. 


Her paleo casserole ideas are just so amazing! Here are a few that I am going to try soon. 

Her recipe for pizza pie, which is similar but uses sausage and marinara. 

Her recipe for green chile chorizo casserole. UHHHH yes you read that right. MMMMM

FITSPO

So maybe I have been under a rock but I just heard about this whole "thinspo" ban from pinterest, tumblr, instagram etc. I was never into "thinspo" because I don't want to look like a stick. Example of thinspo BUT NOW they are talking about if fitspo is also a negative thing. Example of fitspo  There are mixed emotions about fitspo. I personally think that it is beneficial to me. I don't beat myself up and it doesn't make me have an unhealthy view of my body or make me do crazy things like starve myself. It motivates me to go to the gym which I need to be doing. This is from the new york times about fitspo being the new thinspo " But in our rush to focus on health -- or at least the perceived appearance of health -- we’re simply setting up a new idealized figure to chase after, and not necessarily one that is any better for us. What kind of monster is against health? This kind, I suppose. While I mightily dig the notion of ind...

Crossfit and a sex doll.

I have been working out pretty consistently and have been weightlifting for a while, but I decided that I wanted to do something more. I have been thinking about trying CrossFit but I am scared to do it alone. I mentioned the idea to my husband and he said he was interested in trying it too. I am really interested in lifting heavy and getting more physical strength.  I am really proud that I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will say my body isn't exactly how I imagined it would be. I pretty much feel like this...  It's weird how your body just kind of deflates. My skin is weird. I am not really comfortable with my arms or thighs - hello short and tank top season. I also hoped my stomach would go away and while it is smaller it's just a smaller deflated version of what it was. I was morbidly obese and had a child. My stomach will probably never be viewed by anyone and that is fine, but when you look at this as motivation  and then you get...

This morning after my multi hour internet health blog and pinterest binge I was wondering should I be taking supplements? My husband drinks protein powder after he works out but he is big and not trying lose weight but build muscle. I want to build muscle too because ultimately I want to actually have a fit body not just lose weight. I wonder if I am supposed to lose the fat first and do weights obviously while I am losing weight but then once I get most of the fat gone and want to be a more serious muscle builder THEN take supplements? I don't even know if I want to take supplements. For some reason I feel like taking pills and powders is unhealthy. Maybe because I have a past with the whole diet pills, meal replacements etc. I don't think those work and I think they are a waste of my time and money. I want to do something that is good and right for my body. I want to eat FOOD not take short cuts that eventually fail me. There isn't a magic powder or pill thats going to ...
