Carrot Fries

This was definitely a freezer clean out meal. I had gluten free stuffing leftover from thanksgiving frozen that I had been dying to use. It was just traditional sausage stuffing that I defrosted and rebaked adding fresh maple chicken sausage, roasted zucchini, red onions, dried cranberries and pumpkin bread seasoning to. Then I made some CARROT FRIES 🥕🍟 on the side and added extra spinach 🍃.

Oriental Chicken Salad

When I was in college we used to go to Applebees ALLLLL the time. My favorite was their oriental chicken salad, so I came up with a copycat recipe that is dairy free, gluten free and healthy! I’m mainly loving the dressing...which I’ve also repurposed on some other bowls. Its sweet and tangy and perfect on soy sauce veggies too.

3 tbsp sliced cashews
