Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potato Skins

I have a mile-long list of recipes that I want to create for the blog. Every time a new recipe idea pops into my head, onto the list it goes. Unfortunately, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. So, the list keeps growing.

This recipe for Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potato Skins has been on the list for far too long. But, it is well worth the wait. These potato skins are pure gold. Pure, sweet, salty, and spicy gold. If buffalo wings are your thing, then you will quickly understand what I mean. 

Combining two of the best bar foods, buffalo wings and potato skins, into a (healthy) one-stop shop is definitely one of my better ideas. Even my ever-so-picky hubby agrees (and approves)! These sweet potato skins are a little sweet and salty, perfectly crispy, and stuffed with shredded buffalo chicken. 

And, y’all know how big a fan I am of meal prepping. It saves a ridiculous amount of time throughout the work/school week, helps you stay on track with your nutrition/fitness goals, and hopefully saves you a little pesos. So, would I be doing my job if this recipe wasn’t meal prep-friendly? No, of course not. Here’s how I do it:

  • Write down the ingredients you need for the coming week and make one large grocery haul.
  • Bake a week’s worth of chicken breasts in the oven. 
  • Microwave a week’s worth of large sweet potatoes.
  • Assemble according to the directions below and store in air-tight containers for the week.

Could it be any simpler?!

I hope y’all enjoy this recipe as much as Blake and I do. It’s rare to find a meal that we both enjoy (Mr. Picky and Mrs. Eats Anything), so it’s most-definitely a new staple meal in our home.

Ingredients
  1. 1 lb chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
  2. 2 large sweet potatoes
  3. 1/3 cup Frank's Buffalo Sauce
  4. 2 garlic cloves, diced
  5. 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  6. 1 cup celery, diced
  7. 2 tbs olive oil, divided
  8. sea salt, to taste
  9. black pepper, to taste
  10. garlic powder, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with tinfoil.
  2. Lightly coat chicken breasts with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  3. Pour 1 tbs olive oil in a skillet and heat over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until the onion begins to turn translucent. Add celery and season with sea salt and black pepper. Continue to saute until completely cooked. Set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Cut an 1" slice in each potato and microwave for 5 minutes. Rotate and microwave for another 2-3 minutes, or until soft.
  5. Once cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes in half long-wise. Scoop out the majority of the potato flesh and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
  6. When the chicken is finished baking, remove from the oven and set the oven to broil. Shred the chicken with two forks. Add the shredded chicken to the large bowl with the potato flesh.
  7. Place the 4 potato skins on the second baking sheet, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Broil for 5 minutes. Flip onto the flesh side down and broil for another 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  8. Add the sauteed onion and celery to the chicken and potato mixture. Pour in Frank's Buffalo Sauce and mix well.
  9. Carefully and evenly, scoop the chicken mixture back into the potato skins.
  10. Serve with Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing, a dash of cilantro, or shredded mozzarella cheese.

If you're new around here, let me introduce myself If you're new around here, let me introduce myself! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm Kelsey! I work as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner to help you support your body as a whole and address any imbalances. Together, we'll work to find the root cause of your most pressing health concerns and bring restoration to your body. I utilize a food-first approach, as I believe FOOD IS MEDICINE! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might benefit from working with me, if you're a woman who struggles with:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Hormonal imbalances⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Autoimmunity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Thyroid and adrenal dysfunction⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Skin problems⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Weight gain⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Gut infections/imbalances⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Digestion issues⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve personally experienced the power of nutritional therapy and using this food as medicine approach, but I’ve also witnessed countless clients experience the same healing. If you no longer want to “mask symptoms” with pills and prescriptions, nutritional therapy might just be the answer for you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Without a doubt, gluten has gained a bad rap over Without a doubt, gluten has gained a bad rap over the years. So, is it time to eliminate it from YOUR diet?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I won’t lie, gluten is often a food I recommend eliminating from my clients’ diets. But, not ALWAYS and it's never without good reason!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's the deal:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today’s version of gluten in America is NOTHING like it used to be (or should be). It’s hard- to-digest, packed with anti-nutrients, and extra processed. In other words, it can worsen gut permeability, create nutrient deficiencies, and be hard on the digestive tract. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That being said, ALL gluten isn't inherently bad. As with everything else, quality matters! Most gluten-containing foods are processed, packaged, and filled with other inflammatory ingredients- all of which will contribute to any unhealthy gut and promote inflammation in the body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you do decide to include gluten in your diet, always look for high quality options, like those that are freshly milled, sprouted, and/or fermented. These sources of gluten will be easier to digest, more nutritious, and definitely better tasting! Think: freshly baked sourdough bread (!!!!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, should you eat gluten? It's hard to say without working with you one-on-one. But I will say, it could be worth avoiding if you have any digestive, skin, metabolism, or hormonal issues. First, focus on addressing these imbalances. Then, it might be time tor introduce gluten into your life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What are your thoughts about gluten? Did you know these fun facts?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Should you skip breakfast?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Should you skip breakfast?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚨 Spoiler alert: NO 🚨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In world with so much conflicting health information, I’d say intermittent fasting and/or skipping breakfast is one of the most confusing. I believe there are times when IF can be appropriate and even beneficial. But for all my women in their 20-30’s, hear me when I say: YOU NEED TO EAT BREAKFAST.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s why:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. METABOLISM- Breakfast helps support a healthy metabolism. So many women have told me they just don’t “feel hungry” first thing in the morning. While this might sound good in theory, it actually means your metabolic rate is likely slow. AKA your body is burning fewer calories than it should. Eating breakfast is the first step in restoring a healthy metabolism!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. THYROID & HORMONES- Eating balanced meals every 3-4 hours STARTING WITH BREAKFAST supports healthy thyroid function and hormonal balance. In a world full of hormone disrupters and thyroid suppressors, eating breakfast is one of the easiest (and delicious) things you can do- especially as a woman in her child-bearing years!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. STRESS- Skipping breakfast is the easiest way to start your day in a state of chronic stress. Instead, eating breakfast within 1 hour of waking up helps lower stress within the body. Breakfast feeds your adrenals, brain, muscles, and organs the nutrients and energy it needs to function well. As a result, stress levels (and hormones) balance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coming from someone who used to workout fasted every day, it can take time to make this change. If you’re not used to eating breakfast, I encourage you to start slow. Over time, as your appetite naturally increases, you can eat more substantial breakfasts!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have any questions about the importance of breakfast?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon often, but I couldn’t help myself when it comes to this mouthwatering, cheesy, viral pasta dish. Let me tell you: it did not disappoint.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• @jovial cassava penne pasta
• grass-fed better
• cherry tomatoes
• fresh basil 
• fresh garlic 
• real sea salt
• goat cheese
• grass-fed ground beef or pasture-raised chicken
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Directions:

2. Meanwhile, make the pasta and protein of choice. Set aside.
3. When the cheese are tomatoes are done, add the pasta and mix together. Top with meat! 
4. Enjoy the creamy, cheese deliciousness!

Myth: self care is selfish.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to think self care was selfish. But as the years go by, I'm learning that self care is anything but. In reality, it’s one of the best things we can do to support a healthy mind and body!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's the truth: when we take care of ourselves, we can better take care of others. Taking it a step further, regular self care means:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Reducing stress⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Increasing happiness⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Supporting a healthy mind and body⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Becoming a better version of you⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, who doesn’t want that?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, in a fast-paced world with little margin, putting time and money aside for "self care" can feel close to impossible! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how do you know if you need to up your self-care game? Are you...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Agitated or anxious?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Quick to anger or impatience?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Depressed or unmotivated?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Run down or sick often?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If so, the answer is yes. You need a little more self care in your life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, self care doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. These self care ideas are budget-friendly and easy to do at home! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what's your favorite way to practice self care? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've gotten so backwards with our eating habits and diets, that most of us would consider nourishing foods to be "unhealthy!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, I'm here to bust these common food myths and get you on the road to a nourished body 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today's focus: cooking oils! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next time you load up on cooking oils, you can walk right past the canola oil, sunflower oil, margarine, and olive oil. These oils are highly unstable, meaning they turn toxic at lower cooking temps. And you never want to cook with them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, opt for STABLE cooking oils, like coconut oil, ghee, grass-fed butter, or avocado oil! Not only do these cooking fats stay stable at higher cooking temps, but they also provide essential fat-soluble vitamins, energize your mind and body, and make your food taste so much better! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't believe me? Just try it for yourself and let me know how you feel + how much better your food tastes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Should you drink coffee or skip it?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IMO, coffee has unfairly gained a bad rap over the last couple years. Sure, it shouldn't be used as a crutch for energy, but it definitely doesn’t need to be ditched all together!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As with most things in life, coffee comes with it's boundaries. Outside it's boundaries, coffee can cause: gut distress, hormonal imbalance, adrenal fatigue, etc. I'm sure most of us have experienced the bathroom problems, jitters, and anxiety coffee CAN cause, which is why I think there's so much confusion around coffee.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, when is coffee a good thing? Within it's ground rules! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coffee Ground Rules:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Never drink coffee on an empty stomach. Without food, coffee creates a hormonal catastrophe. It spikes blood sugar and depletes adrenals, leaving you feeling exhausted later in the day and putting your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Add grass fed, raw cream/butter, sugar, and/or collagen to your coffee- but only the real stuff! These REAL ingredients will help regulate your blood sugar and feed your adrenals. The worst thing you can do for your thyroid and adrenals is drink coffee black on an empty stomach!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Opt for high quality coffee that is third party tested. Most conventional coffee beans are packed with mycotoxins (aka mold) that isn’t healthy to consume. Looking for coffee that is third party tested helps ensure the quality and benefits of your coffee. Personally, I like Four Sigmatic, Bulletproof, and Illy coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd be lying if I said I didn't LOVE drinking my hot, frothy cup of coffee each morning. But since learning to enjoy it within it's limits, I've felt a HUGE difference. I'm no longer anxious or jittery because due to drinking black coffee on an empty stomach! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, tell me: did you know these coffee boundaries? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back to our regular programming... Starting with adrenal fatigue! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you suffering from this thing called “adrenal fatigue?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, most of us are dealing with a degree of adrenal fatigue- thanks to high stress lifestyles, processed diets, exposure to everyday toxins, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even worse, most of these common symptoms are considered "normal” 🙅🏻‍♀️ And most of us just deal with them, thinking it'll never change. But we are so WRONG!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if I told you: you don't HAVE to live with brain fog, fatigue, low libido, insomnia, depression, and/or weight gain?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it’s true!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you bring your body back into balance, these symptoms naturally dissipate, and once again, you can live with energy, vibrancy, and excitement!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you deal with these symptoms of adrenal fatigue, here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. SLEEP. Aim for 8 hours a night and prioritize sleep over workouts. Without adequate sleep, the adrenals will naturally suffer big time! If you have trouble sleeping, try eating a bedtime snack, eating foods high in magnesium, and blocking out blue light.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. EAT. No, 1,200 calories per day is NOT ENOUGH. Eat more balanced meals, about 3-4 hours apart. And, don't get me started on "low carb" diets. Your body needs carbs for energy, so do your adrenals! Eating now carb is the best way to put your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. MOVE. Find a low intensity activity you enjoy (ie. walking, leisurely biking, roller skating) and do it several times a week. If you can get your movement in outside, that's even better. The sun is your best source of Vitamin D! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you suffer from any of these symptoms? What has your experience been with adrenal fatigue? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
