Paleo Fried Pickles with Ranch Dipping Sauce

I'm not going to lie. We made these at 10 PM on a Saturday night. The Saturday night before the Super Bowl to be exact. Scott just randomly had the idea to make these and they turned out REALLY good so now we are sharing the recipe!

Down here in the south you can get anything fried. Fried pickles, fried Oreos, fried whatever you want. To be honest, I've never had anything unusual fried. I would rather just stick with my french fries BUT if I were to imagine what a friend pickle tastes like, this is it. 100%. So good.

Next up. Onion rings. We've made them a different way before but I think we will try this exact recipe next time!

They're gluten-free, low-carb, and paleo and clean eating approved.

Paleo Coleslaw

When does something officially become an addiction? Asking for a friend.

Introducing our clean eating paleo coleslaw. It takes about 3 minutes to make and we've been making it every. single. weekend. Sometimes we just eat it out of the container in the fridge,  sometimes it doesn't even make it into the fridge, and if we have enough self-control we will wait and eat it with our lean mean cheeseburgers or simple roasted chicken. We've been known to eat it with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

You might have to actually grab the bowl out of our hand to make us quit eating it. It's that good.

Clean Eat Recipe: Paleo Stuffed Bell Peppers

Have you ever heard of Steve's PaleoGoods? They reached out to us a few weeks ago and sent us a sample of products they offer and we loved them! We've taken many of them on our hikes and they provide the perfect snacks for outdoor adventures!

I would have to say my favorite was the dried strawberries. I rarely eat dried fruit because it's so hard to find it without any added sugars but the dried strawberries they sent were amazing and the only ingredients were dried strawberries and apple juice concentrate! The picture below was taken on one of our hikes to the top of Yonah Mountain in Cleveland, GA.

We were surprised to find some sauces in the package they sent. We immediately tried them both (Ginger Cilantro and Maple Mustard) and loved them! We've added them to almost everything we've been eating (mahi mahi, chicken, etc). Using the Ginger Cilantro sauce, we created this quick recipe that is perfect for busy nights because it takes less than 30 minutes to throw together and you can even save more time by prepping the chicken ahead of time like we do!
