I love love love that so many of your recipes are naturally Whole30 compliant, super yummy, and easy to make! Tried this cashew chicken for the first time tonight and I’m hooked!
Supa good I changed a little on accident and added a Serrano pepper and it turned out great. That coconut aminos makes it so sweet!!!! Crunchy cashews are such a nice addition. The only problem that it was super messy but the flavors made that okay!
Okay these are incredibly tasty. My boyfriend have made them twice since we discovered them last week because they’re so easy, healthy, and delicious. Such a good recipe! We will be keeping this in our rotation for sure.
This was good! they tasted like pot stickers to me, which I love. Rachel please keep the recipes coming!
Just made this for dinner and it was really tasty! Easy to make and it was a nice change from the typical ground turkey/chicken lettuce wraps. Thanks for the yummy recipe Rachael!
