I will share some new websites that I have found and really like too.  One is Kelly’s.  A few weeks ago, I stole a chicken taco recipe from her.  Bonus?  It’s made in the CrockPot, and who doesn’t love that?!  I have to tell you, I will be making chicken like this more often.  It is so easy, and so delish!  I didn’t know that you could cook chicken breasts in a CrockPot and they would flake apart with a fork.  Not only was this taco recipe great, but you could use chicken cooked like this in soups, sandwiches and salads.  The possibilities abound!  Here is the Taco Recipe.  I used the “Simply Organic Southwest Taco Seasoning” and homemade chicken stock (cooked using Sally Fallon’s ”Nourishing Traditions” recipe I have posted on this blog before) in mine.  Make sure you check all package ingredients- packaged spice companies tend to hide things in them like “partially hydrogenated oils” and “MSG”.  These would ruin your cleanse and your meal, and definitely shouldn’t be fed to your family!

A new veggie dish that we really like too is roasted butternut squash and brussel sprouts.  It is really tasty and simple!  Roasting the brussel sprouts really removes the bitter taste.  In a casserole dish, combine cubed butternut squash and brussel sprouts (bottoms trimmed and cut in half).  Toss with sea salt/pepper and coconut oil.  Roast at 375-400F for 30-45minutes until the edges are brown.  Stir occasionally while roasting.  Enjoy!  Harper likes these too.

For our sweet tooth that we developed over the holidays, we will be using this next recipe on the cleanse a lot.  I love it!  My friends, the Browns, treated us to these the other day.  They are wonderful!  Like I shared last time on the cleanse, I would make my “Almond Joy” version by stuffing with almonds and shredded coconut.  I love this new idea though.  Take organic medjool dates, slice them in half and remove seed.  Mix almond butter (or whatever nut butter you prefer) with a dash of organic cinnamon, sea salt and flax seed.  The flax adds great fiber and a wonderful little crunch (we crave texture a lot on the cleanse).  Spoon the nut butter mixture into the middle of the dates, and enjoy.  Yum, yum, yum!

Again, I would love to hear about your favorite healthy recipes!
