Paleo: Chicken & Poppy Seed Broccoli Slaw


Tastes way better than my cell phone
camera makes it look!
I couldn't find a poppy seed dressing that didn't have "illegal" fat in it (they all have soybean, canola or vegetable oil as first ingredients).  So I came up with this today.  It's a variation a recipe some friends originally gave me. 

I noted the ingredients on the Mezetta's bottle and then realized I could use the Everyday Paleo mayo as a base!




Here we go!

Trust her... Make the Everyday Paleo Mayo here using Extra Light (tasting) Olive Oil.  I tried 4 times with EVOO and it flopped each time!










Dressing:
1/2-2/3 C. Everyday Paleo Mayo
2 T.  Cider Vinegar
1 T. Agave Nectar
1 T. Light (in color) Molasses (tastes milder)
2 T. Poppy Seeds
2 tsp. Onion powder

1 bag Broccoli Slaw
1/4 C. dried, unsweetened cranberries
1/4 C. golden Raisins
1/4 C. Sliced Almonds, unsalted
2 Shredded, cooked chicken breasts

Make the dressing, and toss with the salad ingredients.  Yum!

You can eat it immediately, or chill for about 3 hours.  The broccoli slaw softens a little, but still stays crisp.

I Loved It! Moving Comfort Compression Running Shorts

Thanks to Misty over at the Athena Diaries, I have a new love! The Moving Comfort MCW Compression Running Short.

I have been a long-time fan of MC's sports bras; they are a less expensive alternative to the Enell and keep *things* in place just as well. The Maia is my favorite -- I swim, bike and run in them without any discomfort. I am still on the hunt for a good high impact racer-back bra for a D.

I ordered my shorts but was on the fence with regard to sizing. I call the folks up at Moving Comfort and they were nice and helpful. The customer service rep suggested the MCW version, when I told her my issues and how I am right on the tail end of regular sizes. So I went with their a "MCW" collection. I'm glad I did.

It was nice to know that the MCW version was exactly the same tech-wear, just sized for the fuller figure and 1/2" longer. I really appreciated that the fit wasn't just a larger size of the regular sized version. They took into account the areas plu…

Donna's Copycat Fuji Apple Chicken Salad Recipe

Image
So I went to Panera Bread the other day and enjoyed their Fuji Apple Chicken salad. I have to say it was yummy. But after I went to the website and read the nutritional content I was less than pleased. A 500+ Calorie salad and a ton of ingredient names in the dressing I can't even pronounce. Although one that I can pronounce is Propelyn Glycol, which is found in lighter fluid. Uh, yeah... I don't think so.

So I took it upon myself to make a similar salad.

Salad Fixin's
Romain Lettuce (they used mixed Spring Greens)
Red Onion
Pecans (just a few per salad)
Tomatoes
Dried Apple Chips
Gorgonzola Cheese (just enough)
Rotisserie Chicken (Breast only No Skin)

Donna's Fake Fuji Apple Dressing (6 servings)
2 T. Olive Oil
1 T. White Balsamic Vinegar
1 T. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 T. Garlic Powder
1 T. Onion Powder
1 1/2 t. Dijon Mustard
3 T. Organic Frozen Applejuice Concentrate
