Crockpot Mexican Chicken

Matthew and were both more than ready to say adios to the bad eating we embraced over the holidays, so it was nice to pull out that friendly crock-pot and fill it with whole foods.

Buffalo Chicken Casserole (Paleo)

Matthew is always bragging about my cooking to other people which is just the sweetest thing.
He likes to say we have "restaurant quality food at home every night" and that's a compliment I will take!
I do find joy in cooking things that are fun to eat and don't leave us feeling bloated or stuffed afterwards.
This casserole is the perfect example of that. 
It's quite flavorful without being too heavy.
I hope you'll give it a try!

Not only is it tasty, it's healthy too!
This recipe is dairy free AND sugar free!
