Superfood Chicken Chili (crockpot)
This soup came to fruition after looking through my fridge/pantry, deciding I needed to go grocery shopping, but with a barfy kid, feeling quarantined to the house, I decided I needed to use up what was left of my previous week’s meal prep/grocery trip first. Enter: Superfood Chicken Chili And let me tell you… this turned out so much better than I imagined! This could easily be done in an Instant Pot too- but I haven’t purchased mine yet!

Sautéed Kale and Tempeh Salad
We challenge ourselves to do a meatless Monday in this house because it gets us out of our grilled chicken and ground turkey comfort zone. Sometimes I get that “look” from my husband. The look where I put his plate in front of him and he looks at me with that head cocked suspicious puppy look- like “what are you trying to get me to eat”? Well.
