BBQ Chicken: An American Family Favorite!
Bbq Chicken is Super easy to make if you're using the sauce out of a bottle, but just because we're going organic...it doesn't mean you have to start from scratch.
Organicville Makes a Delicious BBQ sauce that you can most likely find at your local grocery store. It is gluten free and it is made with Agave Nectar. I used half a bottle for my family.
To practice what I preach, I knew I needed to add a fall superfood. I decided to go out on a limb, I actually got an acorn squash and cooked it for the first time! Fortunately there was a big sticker on the squash that told me exactly what to do with it. :)
OMG! Party in my mouth!!! It was SOOOO good.
I sprinkled Coconut Palm Sugar on it and added a tiny bit of butter and sea salt for a flavor boost and I LOVED it.
To cook an acorn squash, you stab it several times with a sharp knife, put it in the microwave and cook it about 6 mins per pound. It will be really soft when finished. Just open it up, take the seeds out, and then scoop the squash out.
Alright Here are my ingredients for last night's meal
1. Free Range Chicken Drum Sticks
(You can obviously use breasts, but I was in the mood for fat. haha)
2. Organic BBQ Sauce. I used organicville. You can find your own or make it from scratch. Here's a recipe for that. I like this one cause she uses Apple Cider Vinegar. ;)
3. Quinoa
Quinoa is an amazing superfood that you all need to start eating regularly. It is the only grain that is a complete protein. There are vast health benefits. To learn more about it, click on Quinoa above. This is a great substitute for rice and other carbohydrate sides.

5. Mixed Greens with Olive Oil and Vinegar topped with Goji Berries
TADA! Here's my meal that makes me feel so fabulous and nourishes every fiber of my being.
Was that dramatic enough for you?
Good.
I know I don't really give detailed recipes per say or show a lot of things made from scratch.
But My intention here is to make your transition easy.
The only thing required here is buying healthy alternatives to what you're already putting on your plate. There shouldn't be any extra time required to make these meals.
Alrighty. Enjoy!!!
