Buffalo Chicken Salad

I love buffalo wings! Unfortunately they aren't the best for me. So when my friend Holly shared this recipe I just knew I had to try it! I still get that buffalo and blue cheese taste but without all the calories!



Buffalo Chicken Salad 

Mixed greens
2 - 3 oz. cooked chicken breast, cubed
2-3 Tbsp. Franks buffalo sauce
2 slices from a red onion
3 Tbsp. blue cheese dressing

Add the red onion slices to a small frying pan with a little olive oil and brown. Fill plate with mixed greens. In small Ziploc bag add cubed chicken and Franks buffalo sauce, close the bag and shake the chicken and sauce. Add the chicken mixture to the mixed greens. Top with onions and blue cheese dressing.

Blue Cheese Dressing

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 Tbsp. blue cheese, crumbled

Chicken Prep



Okay, so I have had a few people as me how I prep my chicken that I put on my salads, so I thought I would share! It is pretty easy and I like to do this about once a week. 

I buy the single packaged frozen chicken breast from Costco. I take the frozen chicken out of the packages and fill a pan will hot water. Add the chicken to the hot water and set on the stove. Set the timer for 25 minutes and bring the chicken to a boil. Once it starts boiling I turn the heat down to medium. When the timer goes off I check the chicken to make sure it's done. From here I will either put it in my Kitchen Aid and shred it, or I will let it cool then cut into cubes. I keep the cooked chicken in some tupperware and use it throughout the week for different meals. You can use the chicken for salads, tacos, quesadillas, chicken salad sandwiches, casseroles, or whatever else you can think of to put chicken in. 

Food prep is key for my healthy eating. If I don't have healthy quick food ready to go, then that is when I usually want to go grab something quick from a fast food place. Salads are so quick and easy, I make sure to have chicken and toppings on hand and just throw it all together.

Cafe Zupas


I have heard everyone talking about Cafe Zupas and how amazing, healthy and delicious it is... but 

I have never been there before! 
I know! I know! 
Well, lucky for me, my friend Darci invited me to the VIP private party for the new Cafe Zupas opening up on Lake Mead. So I quickly found a babysitter (my sister!) and RSVP'd to the event! Nothing is better than a healthy, free, and delicious date night! It was so much fun and so good



Now I know why everyone talks about it all the time! Everything is fresh and made right in front of you. The food is so colorful, bright, and healthy. 


I ordered the Pesto Chicken Sandwich, Nuts for Berries Salad, a cup of Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup, and the Summer Superfood Pistachio berry Creme Brûlée. 
seriously...
They had me at superfood! 
Pistachios- promote heart health, reduce cholesterol and is a good source of fiber.
Blackberries- are full of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins.
and the Nuts about Berries Salad, how can you go wrong with fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, cinnamon almonds, romaine lettuce, and a house-made poppyseed dressing?


AHHH-MAZING!
It was such a fun night. The people where kind, helpful, and informative. The service was good and quick. The food was so good and healthy! It's nice having a place to eat here in Vegas that is healthy and refreshing especially when it's 110 degrees outside! 
I can't wait to come back! Anyone want to schedule a lunch date? 





The Grand Opening for this Cafe Zupas on Lake Mead and Buffalo is
August 3rd. 
1/2 off of everything plus they will be giving away $25 gift cards every 15 minutes all day!
You don't want to miss out!

10 Day Fitness Challenge

I just hosted my first 10 Day Fitness Challenge and let me just say, it was amazing, and I am down 2.5 pounds since the first day! We do have longer challenges that are 60-90 days, but I found that this is a great way for people to see what I do and be able to participate in a challenge before committing to a 60-90 day challenge. This is from one of my friends who just completed day 10 of my challenge.


It makes me feel so good to know that I am helping people change their life! Seriously, there is no better job than this! I am going to be doing these challenges monthly, so lucky for you, I have one starting on Monday, August 5th! 


To contact me about one of the challenges, either the 10 Day Fitness Challenge or a 60-90 day challenge, you can email me at simplykatiegraham@gmail.com. You can also find me on Facebook and message me there https://www.facebook.com/simplykatiegraham. 
The next 10, 60 and 90 days will pass by whether you make these changes right now or not. So quit making excuses and make the change now!
