Veggie and Chicken Soup

I made this one today with a little Pinspiration and a little of whatever was left in my fridge! It was super easy and really healthy too only 124 Calories per Cup!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: Crock Pot (4-10 hours depending on necessity)
Whole 30 and Paleo compatible


2 Chicken Breast (trimmed of fat)
1 Bell Pepper chopped
1 cup of Celery chopped
1 cup of Spinach
1 cup of baby carrots
1 container of chicken broth (16 oz)

1 Tbsp of Cumin
1 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 tsp of black pepper

Here's the easy part take everything and toss it in the Crock Pot, turn it on and walk away!

Once the chicken in cooked take two forks and shred it, put the cover back on and let it cook for another half hour.

I served this with some crusty bread on the side and made a perfect dish on a cold winter night!

Bacon Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers

This one isn't SUPER healthy, but it is a healthier version of a bacon cheese burger so I'm considering it a win! There are definitely ways to cut some of the fat out, (use ground turkey or chicken) in this case I used 90% ground sirloin and turkey bacon. I also blotted the bacon and burger off with a paper towel to help absorb some of the extra grease.  You could also sub out the roll for a large lettuce leaf or go with light or Weight Watcher approved buns.
