Cooking: Tuna and Avocado Salad (Paleo)

Recipe from Cook Eat Paleo

This is not a food blog, I repeat this is not a food blog!  However, I'm one of those people that loves to eat.  I mean I really do love to eat and you can totally pay me in cookies and cakes if I had my choice (and no real bills!)

Since I really like unhealthy food the most, I've been trying to come up with, and find, healthier food options.  Now I am totally not eating super healthy but I'm taking baby steps and I really am liking some of the new foods I'm trying.

This recipe is super easy and only includes 6 items.  The link under the picture above will take you to the original recipe.  You will need an Avocado, Lemon Juice, Onion, Tuna, Sea Salt and Pepper.  The recipe called for wild tuna but I didn't have any so I just used the canned tuna we had on hand.  I also only had organic lemon juice so I substituted that for fresh lemon juice.

I made this for my husband and I but our 6 year old tried some and said he like it too.  This recipe will definitely be in heavy rotation and I can see it being especially good in the summer months when it's hot outside and you don't feel like making a fussy lunch.  

Kid tested.  Mommy and Kid approved!

COOKING - Chicken stuffed with Prosciutto & Cheese

I've been so bored with everything that I've been cooking lately, so I decided to try out a few new recipes.  This one got 4 stars from my fam bam so I thought that I would share it with you guys.  It is Stuffed Chicken with Prosciutto, Cheese and Basil in a Mushroom Sauce.  AMAZING!  

Here is a link to the recipe Epicurious - Stuffed Chicken Recipe

I changed the following things to make the recipe work for me, you may find this useful if you decide to try out the recipe too!

CHANGES

1.  I purchased Chicken Breast Halves

2.  I used oven safe bands to tie the chicken together

3.  I only used 1 type of basic white mushroom

4.  I used homemade Chicken Stock (I had some in the freezer and yes, I made it myself) instead of Chicken broth

5.  I only used fresh basil in the mushroom sauce because that was all I had on hand

6.  Since I don't have an oven safe skillet, while I was pre-heating the oven, I put a pan in there and just transferred the chicken from the skillet to the hot pan (you'll understand when you read the directions)

Let me know if you try the recipe out and tell me what you think!
