These coconut chicken tenders never disappoint as one of my go-to dishes for lunch or a quick supper. I have fun creating different dipping sauces to mix up the flavor, peach mustard, spicy ketchup aka ketchup and franks mixed together, and bbq sauce.

Paleo Artichoke Pesto Lemon Spaghetti Squash Pasta
Phew. This dish’s name alone is a mouthful. After a particularly intense practice at my yoga studio, I spent the rest of my Saturday relaxing until it was time to make dinner. I have been eyeing this recipe by Juli over on PaleOMG for a couple weeks and finally set out to make it. This…
