Salsa Chicken

Being on the road is pretty great, but there are some things that I miss. A crock-pot is one of them. Whenever I have access to one, you better believe I’m pulling that thing out, coming up with a meal, and trying something new.

I ate this salsa chicken over rice and added a little bit of white cheddar cheese and Greek yogurt. It was delicious. I also ate it plain today for lunch and it was salsa chickengreat on its own as well. Plus, it’s easy and quick, and who doesn’t need more of that this season?

Crock-Pot Salsa Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups mild salsa
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

Simply add everything to a crock-pot and cook for 3 hours on high. Remove and shred chicken. Add chicken back in and stir to incorporate.

Gluten-Free Cinnamon French Toast

I can’t cook for just two people, like I literally CAN’T. I love to cook. I like to cook huge meals with lots of leftovers. And when I try to cook for just two, I always have enough for at least four.

But since going on the road, I needed to figure it out. And in a short amount of time, I’ve really gotten better! I’m buying less but prepping more and thinking about ingredient specific meals before even going to the store. #learning

My Gluten-Free Cinnamon French Toast was a great recipe to do for just two people and not make extras. (But truth be told, if we were going to be in this AirBnb longer than 2 more days, I would have batch cooked these, too, and had several breakfasts for the week.)

Gluten-Free Cinnamon French Toast

  • 2 eggs, scrambledcinnamon french toast
  • 3-4 shakes cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla almond milk
  • butter and maple syrup

Scramble the eggs in a shallow dish. Add the cinnamon and Almond milk and stir until incorporated.  Heat a skillet to low-medium heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, submerge the bread into the egg mixture and add the bread slices to the pan. Cook on each side until they begin to brown or to preference.

Top with butter and maple syrup and enjoy. Mmm.

I’m typically not a fan of sweet breakfast but when I do have sweeter things in the AM, they are always simple and delicious like this. I hope you love these as much as me!

Tip: If you like crispier french toast, quickly dip the bread into the egg mixture. For a “wetter” and less crunchy piece, submerge and let sit in the egg mixture for 15 seconds.

This is my newest version and according to him, it’s a winner, too. Make this quick so you can get some of the last of the summer strawberries to add in. Yum!

Gluten-Free Ham, Egg, and Cheese Souffle

This recipe is a version of my Gluten-Free Sausage Egg Souffle but with ham and two different kinds of cheeses instead. I love how easy this dish is to put together and how homemade and wholesome it tastes.

And using cubed ham cuts your cook time down on this recipe, because it’s ready to add to the dish, you don’t have to cook it at all! So just combine everything, throw it in the oven, and in about an hour, you will have a delicious piece of breakfast to enjoy.

Gluten-Free Ham, Egg, and Cheese Souffle

  • 1 pound cubed ham IMG_20180729_120349.jpg
  • 6 pieces of Gluten-Free bread, cubed
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup medium cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 eggs, whisked
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • butter to grease the pan

Cube the bread into dice-sized pieces and shred the cheddar cheese. Whisk the eggs, milk, mustard, salt, and pepper together.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×9 pan with butter and put 1/3 of the ham into the bottom of the pan. Continue layering with 1/3 of the bread and 1/3 cheese. Layer until finished and pour the egg mixture evenly over the top. Cover with foil and put into the oven.

Which version do you like better? I really enjoyed this ham and two cheese souffle. Let me know what you think!

Triple Berry Crisp Protein Shake

Are you a breakfast eater? I really try to be but it’s just not my favorite. Actually, I love breakfast food, but I will just have breakfast for dinner if I miss it. HAHA.

So when I do eat breakfast, it’s sometimes leftovers (maybe even dinner LOL) and other times, a protein shake. You never know with me.

But yummmmmm. I cannot get over how delicious this is! The berries combine with oats, cinnamon, and almond milk and it tastes like a cold, liquid berry crisp.

Triple Berry Crisp Protein Shake
IMG_20180401_092254.jpg

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (I like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)
  • 1 cup vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Just blend together and serve. Mmm, so good. How often are you enjoying protein shakes?
