In our on going to joinery to eat healthier, exercise more and all in all become a stronger couple with each year of marriage we've come across a few favorite recipes that we find ourselves making at least once a month. I have to thank an old co-worker for turning me on to Pinterest for finding recipes. We've used the site for a number of other things, (home decor ideas, wedding planning, you name it Pinterest has it), so it only makes sense that we snag some cleaner eating recipes as well.

Shredded Buffalo Chicken in Sweat potato

*recipe recommended by Ashleigh of ohhashleigh.com a go too blog about lifestyle, natural hair and more!

For the Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken:

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3)

• 3/4 cup hot sauce such as Frank's

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne

• 4 sweet potatoes

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water to create a slurry

• Chopped green onions for serving

For the Blue Cheese Yogurt Dressing (omit to make dairy free):

• 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

• 2 tablespoons milk

• 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese plus additional for serving

*I use low fat ranch dressing and reduced fat feta cheese crumbles since I don't care for blue cheese

For the sweet potatoes, I halved them put a light coat them of olive oil and baked them off at 350 for 30 minutes or until golden brown and soft on the inside
