 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

2 Tbls. butter

1/2 Tbls. olive oil

1/2 cup Franks Wing Sauce (hw:or safe hot sauce)

1/2 tsp. celery seed

pepper to taste

1/2 C. thinly sliced celery

blue cheese crumbles

ranch dressing

2 heads of lettuce

In a large pan, cook and shred your chicken {to cook mine, I just put the chicken in the pan with 1/2 cup of water, shredding as it cooks. By the time it is finished cooking, all of the water cooks off}.

Keep the pan on medium heat. Add butter and olive oil, stirring. Add Franks and celery seed. Add pepper to taste. Once sauce begins to be bubbly, remove from heat. Add thinly sliced celery.  

Spoon into lettuce leaves, sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with a little ranch dressing. Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm. Oh yum. 

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin cookies

Ingredients

• 1/3 Cup of Melted Coconut Oil (80ml)
• 1/2 Cup of Coconut Sugar (75g)
• 1 Egg
• 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
• 2 Cups of Oats, Gluten Free (HW:I like McCanns Irish Oats ) 
• 1/3 Cup of Raisins (50g)
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
• 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
• Pinch of Coarse Salt

In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla.

Add 1/2 cup of the oats to your food processor and blitz until you have a coarse flour. Add this to the oats, salt, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix them together well.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix thoroughly. Then mix in the raisins. Use your hands to roll the dough into balls and then press them into discs, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 180’C (350F) for about 9 minutes. **Check at 6 minutes.They might not look ready but it can be hard to tell with oats, it’s better to have gooey cookies than dry, over cooked ones!

Take them out and let them cool for a few minutes before tucking in!

You can also pat the dough into  a log shape and freeze it. Then slice and bake when you want more cookies!
