Whipped Coconut Cream

YES! This is every bit as yummy as whipping cream but absolutely not the same to your bottom. 

1 can organic coconut milk

3-4 tbsp stevia in the raw or sugar. Use your preference. Stevia just keeps it very low calorie. 

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Allow the can of coconut milk to refrigerate for 24 hours. When you open, the top with be hard and separated from the water at bottom. With a spatula, take hardened layer out and place in your bowl. Leave the water for later use in a yummy smoothie. Add stevia and vanilla and whip just like you would heavy whipping cream on a high speed. ENJOY!

Spicy Buffalo Chicken Salad

I adore anything spicy. If it has sriracha sauce, I am in. 

3 organic chicken breasts cooked

3 stalks of celery

1/4 cup purple onion

1-2 tbsp sriracha sauce

2 fresh garlic cloves

1 cup plain organic Greek yogurt

Himalayan salt to taste

Throw all ingriedients in food processor and pulse till you get your desired consistency. I prefer this method because it gets te chicken shredded very finely. If you prefer chunky, hand chop everything.  

Top with fresh blue cheese if desired.
