Baked Breaded Chicken w/ Sour Cream Dill Dip (Grain free, sugar free)

Hello all!

So for this week's blog, I will be posting my family's go-to chicken recipe. This dish is super easy to make and the taste is incredible! (KFC, watch out). The breading mix, created by mom, is versatile so often times she will put it on fish, zucchini (this makes for incredible fries), and a bunch of other fried dishes. This is a great, gluten- free alternative for those days where you just feel like ordering a bucket of chicken! So Enjoy!

P.S. Also, on top of the chicken is a balsamic reduction. Its super easy to make! Just put some balsamic vinegar in a pot and put it on low. Let it reduce done till its about half of the amount you put in. Super easy and delicious on everything from chicken to fish!

Grain- free Peach Cobbler

Hello All,

It is peach season in Georgia and I couldn't be happier!! Peaches are one of my favorite fruits and any peach dessert I love! This recipe I found off google, and me and mom couldn't wait to try it. The recipe is super easy to make and the fruit can be made in advance and kept in the fridge. Mom made a few adjustments to the recipe to make it just a bit sweeter and more cobbler like.

For the ice cream, there are two options that you can do to keep it clean with no sugar. The first option is to make it yourself. We use this recipe (http://www.musingsofaworkathomemom.com/171/ice-cream-in-a-baggie/)  with 1 c. heavy cream, only 1 tsp. of stevia, and the vanilla we use 100% organic with no sugar. Make sure you read the labels because that stuff is everywhere!

The second option is to go to either your local grocery store or health food store and look for ice cream brands that are sweetened with stevia or xylitol (a natural sweetener). A brand that I know is good is the"So Delicious: Dairy Free" No Sugar Added Vanilla Bean ice cream. This is sold at our local store!

Enjoy!

P.S. The recipe says to top the cobbler with coconut milk! I was like, "What?"but, apparently, this is a common thing to do with cobbler. Who knew?!?
