Chicken again, coleslaw a million ways, and after school snacks…

I love finding easy already prepared sauces that are paleo perfect! I purchased some Curry Simmer Sauce from Trader Joe’s and the ingredients are spot on!! The directions call for adding 1 cup of water per jar. I used two jars and instead of water I added an entire can of coconut milk, some cilantro, and some garlic powder. I mixed it all right in the crock pot, added some chicken thighs, and a sliced and peeled butternut squash. This took me about 10 minutes to prepare. Cooked all day on low and was down right tasty!
On to the coleslaw. I eat a lot of coleslaw about a million different ways. Pictured is green cabbage, diced turkey deli meat, a few scoops of sun dried tomatoes, a diced apple, and a handful of sliced almonds. The dressing was a small spoonful of mayo, walnut oil, and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Also pictured is a typical after school snack for my boys (ham slices, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, pecans, pickles & artichoke hearts). The dip is mayonaise and curry powder. They followed that up with a few strawberries.
It is truly unbelievable how much food my family consumes….

Thank you so much for this site! I love coming here and it is super helpful
I just made the coleslaw today and it was delicious. Thanks for keeping us updated with great paleo recipes
Too funny! I just bought the same Trader Joe’s sauce. I thought the same thing about adding Coconut Milk next time. We cooked it with chicken and put it over Cauliflower rice!!!! Yum.
I feel the same away about our families food consumption. After going grain free, dairy free all I do is cook. But it OK. We are all seeing results and feeling. better.
We are going out of town tomorrow and I have spent a lot of time preparing for the trip as to keep us on track.
Great blog. Take care.
Awesome site, and great recipes! I have been CrossFitting for a few months now, and I love the results, but I realize that I need to get my diet in check. After researching different plans, I have decided to try the Paleo diet. The timing for finding this site couldn’t have been better, as I purchased a crock pot last week, and planed on starting the Paleo diet on Monday 12/7. Your site has given me the added motivation to take the plunge into a healthier lifestyle. Thank you!
