1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil, parchment paper or a silpat mat. Set aside.

3. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and place 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to form the mixture into chicken nugget shapes. You should have about 21 chicken nuggets. The mixture will be wet and sticky. If desired, coat your hands in a bit of tapioca flour as you go to help from sticking.

4. Bake chicken nuggets in preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for crispy edges if desired.

5. Cool slightly and serve with your favorite sauce like sugar-free ketchup, BBQ sauce, honey mustard or sriracha.

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗖𝗢𝗦💕
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗽🍲【6 serving】

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
4 slices bacon diced
½ yellow onion chopped
4 cloves garlic chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted grass fed butter or ghee
1/4 cup gluten free 1:1 baking flour
4 cups almond milk or more, as needed
3 medium russet potatoes peeled and cubed
1 head cauliflower chopped (or 2 if omitting potatoes)
4 green onions thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
To serve: 1/2 cup sour cream shredded cheese, green onion, crumbled bacon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
1. Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.

2. Leaving the bacon grease in the pan, add the onion and cook until fragrant, about 4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add 4 tablespoons unsalted grass-fed butter or ghee to the onion and garlic over medium-high heat and stir to melt. Whisk in flour until lightly browned and thickened into a paste, about 1 minute.

3. Gradually whisk in the almond milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes, cauliflower, green onion, salt and pepper.

4. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until potatoes and cauliflower are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.

5. Once tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.

6. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the softened potatoes and cauliflower with about a cup of cooking liquid to a high powered blender and blend on high until smooth. Transfer back to stock pot.

7. If the soup is too thick, add more almond milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

8. Serve immediately, garnished with green onion, cheese, sour cream, or reserved crumbled bacon, if desired.

𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗰𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 (𝗣𝗖𝗢𝗦) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels.

The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. Early diagnosis and treatment along with weight loss may reduce the risk of long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Period Diet Chart✨✨✨

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐬?🤔
Most of the time, irregular periods are part of the normal changes that can happen when you're a teen. As you get older, your cycle will probably settle into a recognizable pattern.

Sometimes, irregular periods can be caused by some medicines, exercising too much, having a very low or high body weight, or not eating enough calories.

Hormone imbalances can also cause irregular periods. For example, thyroid hormone levels that are too low or too high can cause problems with periods. Some girls have extra androgen, a hormone that can cause hair growth on the face, chin, chest, and abdomen. Extra androgen can also makes girls gain weight and have irregular periods.
