Spicy Hawaiian Chicken... a FitterTwit Original

It has been SOOOOOO long since I posted one of my healthy recipes, which is super weird since that's all I've been making for the past 5 months!!!  I actually have a few to share but have been a little preoccupied with my Spectrum Noir design team activities.  One kind of play interfered with another... so to speak.

So pictured is my Spicy Hawaiian that is COMPLETELY gluten free, crispy and soooooo yummy!!!

Spicy Hawaiian Chicken

In a large flat plate (I actually use a cookie sheet cuz I'm messy) mix:
1 C. coconut flour
1 C. shredded coconut
1 Tbsp. cayenne pepper (less if you like)
1 tsp. each of black pepper and sea salt (more if you like)
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 tsp. crushed red pepper

Set aside.  In another flat plate place another 1 C. of coconut flour.  Set aside.  In a large bowl whisk:

3 organic eggs
2 Tbsp. water

Set aside.  Next is dipping the chicken.  Make sure you have a parchment lined cookie sheet that is sprayed lightly with olive oil cooking spray ready as your hands are going to get messy.

4-6 chicken breasts that have been lightly drizzled with olive oil

Dip each chicken breast into the plain coconut flour to coat.  Then dip into egg and coat again, then roll into coconut spice mixture until completely coated.  Place on cookie sheet.  Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown and crispy... about 35-45 minutes.

This one turned out DELICIOUS!!!  It would be a perfect compliment to a Hawaiian slaw.... I gotta work on that one too!!!  Have a great one gang!  Let me know if you make this and what you thought of it.

Past 7 Days....

MY VERY FIRST CRICUT CARTRIDGE GIVE AWAY!

Ok ... so the time has come. I've got some BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN USED, STILL IN THE PLASTIC Cricut Cartridges to give away over the next couple of months and it starts with one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES...... Hannah Montana! YAY! I LOVE this cartridge! It's got the most beautiful guitar images along with musical notes and FIVE fonts! I used the regular font and the rock star font to create my Father's Day card this year (see above). I also used the Hannah Montana cart (see below) to create a beautiful butterfly (FREE Gypsy cut file HERE ), and am currently working on a project using the gorgeous solitaire diamond. There's a rose and lips and decorative hearts, even a Pegasus ! There's just so much on this cartridge.... I use it a lot! To call this a "font" cartridge is terribly misleading. It's been a long time favorite and now I'm THRILLED to be able to give it away to one of my awesome readers! So here's how to win: Become one of my follower

Feeling Empowered

Yep... I've FINALLY discovered the MAGIC that is the Google Calendar!!!  I had NO IDEA that it actually synced to my phone!!!!  FREEDOM!  SWEET FREEDOM! Now for those of you who are NOT schedulers, let me tell you why schedules are so important and why this discovery, in particular, is so empowering to me. Schedules free your mind - when you get your thoughts out of your head and placed into some kind of order (or plan) on paper, your brain is not taxed with the job of remembering. Plans allow you to reach your goals quickly and efficiently - a plan maps out the best course to get you from point A to point B.  For example:  you know that you have to meet Judy on the west side of town for lunch, then be on the east side to pick up paperwork at the office, west side again to pick up flowers at the florist and finally north to pick up dry cleaning.  Well, planning your day allows your brain to go on auto-pilot.  All it has to do is follow the plan once it is made.  And the
