A popular game day delight is Buffalo chicken wings. Typically fried wings served with french fries, celery and carrots. Well I decided to switch up our normal game day buffalo chicken wings meal with a healthier version, my Buffalo Chicken salad. This salad was one of my favorite salads that I have prepared in a long time. So easy and the perfect week day meal that can be prepped ahead of time with the exception of the chicken. This salad was tasty, filled with lots of textures and delicious well-balanced flavors. So good. A healthy meal for any day of the week!

Only a few ingredients will make a delicious soup. Serve with crackers.
Every pulled pork sandwich should be balanced with a delicious heaping of coleslaw. I tried something different with my coleslaw, Apple Crisp Coleslaw. This is perfect for the Fall season. Recipe for this pulled pork sandwich will be on the blog this week.

Like most kids, my kids love Pasta. We have pasta night once a week. With this frequency, I am always trying to creating new pasta creations. This recent one might be their favorite one so far.
