Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad
The original recipe calls for breading the chicken in cornflakes and pan frying it in oil. That’s good too…but I made it grilled tonight. I also made some other modifications of course. But Jeremy and I both love this salad. Especially the dressing. Oriental Dressing 3 tablespoons Sugar free honey 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegarContinue reading “Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad”

Pepperoni and Mushroom PIzza (from scratch)
Now, I know making a pizza is as easy as buying a refrigerated or premade pizza dough, pizza sauce, and assembling toppings…but that usually runs you a lot of calories you don’t need. I make my pizzas from scratch, making them healthier, lower calorie, and of course, tastier! Feel free to change up the toppingsContinue reading “Pepperoni and Mushroom PIzza (from scratch)”
