Chicken Fajita Salad with Green Olive Salsa Verde

By now I think you guys kinda know I have a thing for big ass salads, right? Oh, and for anything Mexican-food-style. Oh, and super tasty and full of flavor. Yeah, okay, I knew that you knew that already 😉

Well, I’m obviously in love with these California Green Ripe Olives from Lindsay Olives’ Naturals line. They are legit just olives, water, and salt. No weird shit in it. And they melt in yo mouth like buttah!…

Salsa Verde Chicken

This salsa verde chicken is the perfect filling for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and chilaquiles. Plus it’s super freezer-friendly for make ahead meals!

This post was created in partnership with my friends from KitchenAid! Prep was super simple thanks to my KitchenAid® Artisan® Mini Stand Mixer and with Food Processor attachment. They supplied me with their product, but all opinions are always my own.

I know there are a million recipes on the inter-webs for salsa verde chicken, and I’m not really reinventing the wheel here. I’ve seen recipes that use slow cookers, pressure cookers, oven baked and made on the stove top. I opted to just do this one on the stove top since I wasn’t too concerned about this recipe being hands off….

Low Carb Mexican Style Shepherd’s Pie

Low Carb Mexican Style Shepherd’s Pie

It’s creamy. It’s delicious. It’s hecka nutritious. It’s a Mexican version of the comfort dish, Shepherd’s Pie. Traditionally, this recipe would use a mixture of meat and veggies with mashed potatoes as the “crust” for the top. When using beef, it’s called “cottage pie,’ and when using lamb, it’s called “shepherd’s pie.” My rendition uses grass fed ground beef and whipped cauli mash, and I still called it a shepherd’s pie, why? Because I’m a rebel at heart and like to break the rules! That’s why. Actually, I’m a total rule breaker when it comes to cooking, amongst other things <insert feisty smirk face.>…

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

So, Happy 2017 and all that stuff! Hope you guys had an amazing holiday season like I did! I can’t believe it’s already January. Like WHOA, where did the time go?

So, about carnitas. Ask my family and they’ll tell you that pork carnitas are my absolute FAV thing to order at Mexican restaurants. I mean, FAVORITE. It’s the thing that I get all judgy on when I go to new restaurants. If their carnitas are good, the restaurant gets a thumbs up from me. Oh, and I’m pretty judgy about the chips and salsa too, not gonna lie….

Smoky Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers

I’m pretty sure I could live off Mexican-themed food forever. I mean, anything that I can put cilantro and avocado on wins! If you’ve followed me on Instagram, you will see just how much I eat avocados and cilantro. One of my husband’s friends follows me on Insta and asked him what our avocado budget was! Anyway, these smoky mexican stuffed bell peppers are a perfect meal for anytime of the year. Enjoy these with a side of avocado or guacamole and a side salad for a complete low carb meal!…
