One of my favorite things about living a Paleo lifestyle is the simplicity of it. Before starting Paleo I never looked at the ingredients, nutritional facts, nor did I care to....mostly because I didn't really know what I was looking at! After reading more about all the fillers, artificial ingredients, and every other dirty thing that is in our everyday food I understand why my body was in such distress eating those things!!
Getting back to the basics and using clean ingredients really has changed my body and how everything works, I know this for a fact because I had a little affair with processed foods this weekend and man did I pay for it!! After eating a chocolate, pizza, and a tiny bit of pasta my blood pressure sky rocketed back up, migraine kicked back in, and of course was unable to sleep because my whole body felt uncomfortable almost like my insides were crawling or hopping around!
So getting back on track I needed a clean and simple meal for today, thanks to my Sept/Nov (back to school issue) of the Paleo Magazine I had a great recipe for coconut "breaded" chicken tenders. For my Vegetarian friends this would be really great for fish sticks also!! Simple, Easy, Fast, and Delicious!!
