Wednesday:
Buffalo Chicken Casserole~click here for the full recipe from PaleOMG
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash (about 21â2 pounds)
- 4 tablespoons butter, ghee, or coconut oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1â2 medium yellow onion, minced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1â4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup hot sauce (I prefer Tessemae’s or Frank’s RedHot)
- 1â4 cup Super Simple Mayonnaise (page 274 in my new book) or store-bought Primal Kitchen mayo
- 3 large eggs, whisked chopped scallions, for garnish
- sliced avocado, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the skin gives when you press your finger to it. Remove the squash from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Grease a Dutch oven or an 8-inch square glass baking dish with 2 tablespoons of the butter.
- Let the squash cool for 5 minutes, remove the seeds, and then use a fork to remove the threads and place them in the greased baking dish.
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the garlic, carrot, celery, onion, and bell pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the ground chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and cook, using a wooden spatula to break up the chicken into small pieces, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat, then add the hot sauce and mayo and mix well to combine.
- Add the chicken mixture to the baking dish and mix well with the spaghetti squash threads. Add the whisked eggs and mix everything together until you can no longer see the eggs.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the top forms a slight crust that doesnât give when you press it in the middle. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped scallion and avocado slices.
Thursday:
BLEATS
if you donât know what these are you are truly missing out.  Imagine a  traditional BLTâs but you add an egg(fried) and avocado. They are pretty much one of the most amazing things youâll ever have, so you should definitely try it if you havenât.
