Whole30 Chicken Cacciatore

Hello, welcome to my blog! Happy you could stop by.

Ok, so I have to share the amazing recipe with you. Now I need to give you a disclaimer first. In no way did I come up with this recipe on my own. I'm giving full inspirational credit to The Whole30 program. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to educate yourself. lol. Not even kidding. I follow Whole30/Paleo the best that I can, but in no way punish my self for trying other food. But honestly if has changed my relationship with food and how I eat! If you struggle with emotional eating or just making plain old poor choices, it's worth a shot. It's only 30 days.

Alright, now to the good stuff! The reason you stopped by my little corner on the inter web :)
