Easy Baked Paleo Chicken Tenders

I don't eat Paleo but I like to try some of their recipes since they usually do not have any (wheat) flour in them. I always play around with the idea of going gluten free but so far I can't seem to stick with any kind of restriction type diet. I'm more of a eat a bit of everything in moderation girl.

I mostly just picked these because they looked good and I thought the kids might like them.

Mine of course, look nothing like the original recipe picture. I'm guessing that is because I forgot to pat my chicken dry and that I did not have any spray olive oil. I recently stopped using PAM because I've read that it is not that good for you. I need to buy myself an olive oil mister.

Here's my breakdown:

Serves 6

2 pounds Chicken Tenders $6.46
1 cup almond flour-$1.68 (I bought a pound of bulk almond flour at Winco and this was about 1/4 of a pound.)
1 tbsp Flax Meal-had on hand (probably could just leave this out if you didn't have it)
1 tsp paprika-had on hand
1/2 tsp garlic powder-had on hand
1/2 tsp sea salt-used regular salt-had on hand
1/2 tsp dried parsley-had on hand
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning-had on hand (this stuff has been in my cabinet FORever)
ground black pepper-had on hand
2 eggs-$.25
olive oil in a sprayer-didn't have just wiped a bit on the pan-had on hand

Total cost $8.39 for $1.40 a serving. Calories from Lose It calculator.

Everyone in my house liked the chicken and we didn't have any left overs. That's always a sure sign of a good recipe in our house.

Welcome!

The idea behind this blog was to present some fun and healthy recipes, the calorie breakdown and the cost per meal to show that you can really have something good to eat for you and your family without breaking the bank.

Then I watched this documentary called A Place At The Table. I have to admit I have never been on Food Stamps, and or had only one can of food to feed my children with. I've never had to go hungry. If you are in that situation I believe you truly probably cannot afford to eat healthy.

So for this page I am going to just focus on making fun recipes (mostly from Pinterest, because I LOVE making meals from there) and then adding the cost and calorie break downs. I have been on a journey to become more healthy over the past several years and I find that I am so much more successful if I make a menu of fun recipes to try. Usually they are on the "healthier" side, so that is what I will be sharing here. I hope you enjoy my little food blog I look forward to sharing all the fun meals to come!
