Ingredients...

5 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons ginger

1 teaspoon allspice (I make my own - have you tried that?)

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

2 cups dried, sulfite-free apricots, unsweetened cut into 1/4 inch cubes

Directions...

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl add oats and spices - mix.

3. Next add in maple syrup and coconut oil and toss well. 

4. Spread granola out on baking sheets. Bake until golden brown about 20-25 minutes. 

5. Remove from oven and let cool. 

6. Once cool add granola mixture, apricots, and coconut flakes together - mix. 

7. Store in airtight storage containers or move onto next step and serve it up!!

8. To serve place 2/3 cup granola in a bowl with 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, and top with 1 cup fresh fruit. 

This is what it looks like with
granola, yogurt, and I used fresh blueberries!!
Oh my YUM!

Hummus Chicken

Okay I seriously cannot wait to tell you all about this new recipe I tried 

because seriously it was AMAZING!! 

It was one of those meals that my kids asked for more!! 

and for parents out there you know these moments are few and far between 

at dinnertime so when they happen it is marked as a HUGE success. 

When we had leftovers later that week the kids even cheered when they heard we were having HUMMUS CHICKEN again!! 

Needless to say this recipe is totally going in our recipe file!!

and oh yes...it is a HEALTHY CLEAN EATING recipe 😊 !!

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!! 

Ingredients...
4 boneless, chicken breasts or 8 boneless chicken breast tenders 
1 cup hummus, homemade or store bought 
1 teaspoon paprika
sea salt
ground black pepper

Directions...
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Prepare one large baking dish with cooking spray
3. Place chicken in dish and lightly season each breast with salt and pepper
4. Cover the entire top of each chicken breast with hummus i
5. Sprinkle chicken with paprika
6. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through

Serve and Enjoy!! 

This is a perfect dinner if you need something quick. It is easy to prepare and does not take long to bake. I paired our dinner with veggies and rice. 

A couple notes:
In this recipe I used chicken breast tenders. I find them easier to work with and easier for my family and I to portion out. 

If you have never made homemade hummus before I would totally give it a try. It is super easy and saves you money.

If buying hummus from a store be sure to check the ingredients.  Watch out for added sugar as you don't want this in your hummus!!

It comes from the Hammer and Chisel program and nutrition guide.

If you have been following along with me I am now in my 4th week of Hammer and Chisel and I am loving it! Last week was my first time really taking a look at the recipe section of the nutrition guide that came with my program.  I am glad I did because there are some tasty looking recipes in there.  This one in particular was a knock your socks off super yummy recipe. 

Super healthy, filling, and easy to make!!

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
3 cups plain Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon raw honey or pure maple syrup

Directions...
1. Evenly layer quinoa, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, yogurt, then honey or maple syrup in a tall glass. Repeat with remaining ingredients to create the layered effect. 
2. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. 

I used all frozen fruit in this recipe and it turned out great! The only challenge I had was remembering to make the quinoa ahead of time :-)
Other than that I loved this recipe, my kids loved this recipe.
It for sure is a keeper for the recipe box!!
