I always feel like Memorial Day Weekend is the start of grilling season, and let me tell you this recipe set the standards pretty darn high! Although you are making a homemade BBQ sauce, don't go running. The sauce is extremely easy and simple, using very little ingredients and NO added sugars. I have tried many over-the-counter paleo BBQ sauces and many homemade sauces before, and this sauce is unlike all of them. It seriously turned out so delicious and totally worth quickly blending up! Make sure you plan ahead for this one and let the chicken marinate in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before grilling - the longer the better, so if you can let it marinate overnight I suggest doing that. I doubled the marinade ingredients and used about 5lbs of boneless chicken thighs to get me a little more meals. I also paired with my roasted sweet potatoes and quickly roasted some broccoli when that was done to complete the meal. A little more prep time when you choose to roast so many vegetables, but I had more time this weekend so I went for it. However, baking a sweet potato or throwing them in the Instant Pot while you're grilling can save some time. Anyways, this grilled Hawaiian BBQ chicken seriously came out amazing and I will most definitely be making it all summer long. Let me know what you think if you try it out!

These meatballs were a huge hit in my house! I don't prep meatballs much anymore because meal prepping for Robbie, my mom, and myself would require way too much time forming a million meatballs. However, it was a short week for us this particular week since we were traveling, so I went for this recipe and am SO glad I did. I personally had to quadruple the meatball ingredients and only doubled the sauce to get us through half of a week. I probably could have made more sauce, but it was at least enough to top over the cauliflower rice and rice mixture. The recipe was supposed to have broccoli too, but I didn't purchase enough for both this meal and the other meal I made for the week, so I just left it out. I haven't had a true Teriyaki Chicken meal in a while, but I really thought this meal was pretty spot on and delicious! Not many outrageous ingredients to this recipe either and only a little bit of coconut flour, which I already had stocked in the house. If this recipe at all looks appealing to you then definitely give it a try! A better-for-you version of Teriyaki Chicken that you will truly enjoy.

Original recipe found here I figured it was about time I made another video. My goal with these videos is just to visually show people how easy it is to prepare meal prep or maybe just a healthier meal. Plus, all the recipes I post are truly ones that I enjoyed eating all week - no bland meals that will send you running to the nearest fast food establishment before the week is over. Enjoying what you are eating is kind of key with maintaining a healthier lifestyle long-term. Anyways, I'll move on to talking about this recipe now. I made this one in both the slow cooker and Instant Pot and both turned out equally delicious and packed with flavor. The first time I made this I served it for fajita night with my friends, so we dressed it up with corn tortillas (Siete’s grain-free tortillas are a great option), peppers and onions, salsa, guacamole, and other fun toppings. This time I made it for meal prep, so I simply paired it with cauliflower rice and had some extra salsa and mini to-go guacamole packs to throw on top of it. You can still totally go the fajita route for meal prep though, it was just much easier for me to quickly heat up some frozen cauliflower rice. Like I said, both times this meal turned out delicious! My friends absolutely loved this one for fajita night and I enjoyed it just as much for meal prep all week. I went half and half with chicken breasts and thighs, purchased already made salsa from the produce section at the grocery store (check the ingredient label on those - most are made with whole food ingredients and no added sugars or preservatives), then already had all these spices in my pantry. Another extremely simple recipe that turned out really tasty!
