Winger's Chicken and Waffles

If you've never had Winger's chicken, you're missing out. Our love affair with this restaurant started when Darren and I were in college and I found the best recipe for the sauce on the interwebs a few years ago. Pair it with waffles and game. over.

For the chicken you'll need:

4 chicken breasts
whole wheat flour (or white)
Smoked Paprika
Garlic Salt
Mustard Seed Powder
Cumin
Brown Sugar
Panko Breadcrumbs
2 eggs
Coconut oil

Slice 3-4 chicken breasts into strips.

Dry Rub:
1/3 c whole wheat flour
1/2 T Smoked Paprika
1/2 T Garlic Salt
1/2 T Mustard Seed Powder
1/2 t Cumin
1 T Brown Sugar

Mix the dry rub ingredients together and spread on a large plate.

Gently toss chicken tenderloins or breasts (cut into strips) in the rub.

Scramble a couple of eggs in a medium sized bowl and give the chicken a quick dip before dipping them in breadcrumbs (We like panko).

This recipe should be enough for at least 6-7 tenderloins or 3-4 chicken breasts.

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and melt about 3 Tbsp. of coconut oil. Place coated chicken in the pan and flip about every 3-5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. Don't over crowd the chicken.

Place on a plate with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

If you want a shortcut, don't make the chicken yourself and just buy breaded chicken strips from the freezer section.

Now for the sauce...

In a small sauce pan add:

1 1/2 c brown sugar
6 Tbsp. Frank's hot sauce
2 Tbsp. water

Warm just until it starts to bubble and the sugar is fully melted.

Last...
Use your favorite waffle mix and make waffles according to package instructions.

To serve, smother a warm waffle with butter, top with fried chicken, and drizzle the Winger's sauce all over.

It's delicious. You'e welcome.

30 Gluten-Free Crock Pot Meals that Won't Break the Bank

In honor of my dad, this round of crock potting is gluten-free. Over the summer my dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and when I found out, I cringed for him. My dad, like me, loves food - all kinds of food but especially pastas, pizzas, bread. How on earth could we take out so many delicious foods that fall under the category of "gluten" and still be satisfied? Apparently it's not as hard as I thought. These recipes are REALLY good, completely satisfying, super easy, and very affordable. I did 30 meals for $168 (this includes a strainer I needed plus disposable trays for the two freezer meals). Keep in mind these recipes are NOT Paleo or AIP. They are simply GLUTEN FREE. That also doesn't mean fat-free or calorie-free. Sorry, folks! ;) You also won't find any cream of whatchamacallit or seasoning packets. Not because I'm completely opposed to them (though I do know they are highly processed and not good for us), but because most, if not all of them...

How We Painted Our Cabinets {and Totally Transformed Our Kitchen}

About 9 months ago I took the plunge and painted our kitchen cabinets. I feel like this is the DIY project that most people are afraid to tackle because, hello! It is the kitchen. So much time is spent in the kitchen and it really is the focal point of the home – if it’s done sloppy, wrong or doesn’t turn out as expected it would be a huge headache and a lot of money to fix. However, this is probably the best DIY project our family has done. Not only did it make a HUGE impact on our home and main living space but it was extremely cost effective at only $150. Once upon a time, our kitchen looked like this: Now it looks like this: It was pretty yellow before. Maple was everywhere. Maple cabinets, maple floors. I walked in this room and it felt like it was constantly glowing (even after I painted the walls a beautiful shade of “perfect greige”). Anyhoo, I knew I wanted a white kitchen. I feel like white cabinets appear decade after decade. They are timeless and cla...

Post-Partum Myth Busters...

...for me at least! The entire time I was pregnant I received a lot of advice - good and bad. It's ALWAYS nice to hear what happened to other people/what worked for them but, let's be honest, when it comes to someone who isn't a parent or isn't a parent you'd like to be, their advice can just be stupid. I know everyone is different but I'd like to share my experiences. For those of you that would like to hear it, here are a few things that have come up during the first few weeks for me that I wish I had more of a warning about/didn't expect: 1. The hospital is NOT fun - everyone told me being in the hospital after delivery is great. You have all the extra help and resources, etc. No thank you! I didn't get any sleep while recovering because there was constantly someone in our room - checking my blood pressure (yes, I was woken up for that on many occasions), checking on Isaiah, cleaning the bathroom, getting your food orders (seriously, bring me a PB and...
