Crock Pot Cashew Chicken

Yes, we eat meat sometimes, mainly chicken and salmon! It's expensive to buy organic so we don't eat it often but I thought it was about time to add another non-vegetarian recipe on here. When I was browsing pinterest I knew when I saw this recipe that it would be worth spending the money on, and it was! We had to make a few modifications of course but it turned out great and we will be making it again!

-1 large organic preferably certified humane chicken breast, cut into pieces

-1/4 cup whole wheat flour
-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-1/2 cup coconut aminos or good ingredient soy sauce
-4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
-4 tablespoons good ingredient ketchup (whole foods has some sweetened with agave)
-2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar or Sucanat
-2 garlic clove, minced
-1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-1/2 cup cashews
-Cooked brown rice for serving

Combine flour and pepper in large ziplock bag. Add chicken and shake to coat in flour mixture. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side. Place chicken in slow cooker. Combine coconut aminos, vinegar, ketchup, sucanat, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken. Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Add cashews and stir. Serve over brown rice. Makes 4-6 servings.

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls (bread machine)

Kale Chips

Oh my goodness, these are so good! The first time I tried making kale chips was in my oven and I just used salt, pepper, and olive oil for seasoning. They were really not good at all. I sort of gave up on the idea until I went to visit my friend Emily, who has been eating a whole foods diet for a long time, she is an expert! Her sister actually does the simple healthy tasty blog and Emily posts on there sometimes too! Anyways during our visit, she offered me some kale chips and wow, I went home and ordered a food dehydrator as soon as I could so I could make them! I got this one made by Nesco and love it so far!
