Game Night or Date Night Recipe

I’m a total baseball and hockey type of mom. Having said that, I do enjoy watching the Super Bowl every year–only because of the outrageous performances offered at half time. Oh, and the delicious comfort food you get to eat while watching.

Chicken wings, nachos, tacos, just load me up with calories! Not. I’d prefer a healthier appetizer this time around.

These buffalo chicken lettuce tacos will satisfy your cravings and keep things light during the big game or even for date night.

Make as a healthy alternative for taco night, for friends and family. If they love spicy buffalo sauce, they’ll love the flavour of these healthy tacos.

Low Carb and Keto Tacos for Weight Loss

Why have a lettuce taco over a traditional flour or corn taco shell? There are so many nutrients in lettuce while being low in carbs and low in calories.

Lettuce tacos are super light and perfect for summer nights and entertaining, and simply for staying on track.

If you can’t seem to hold the shape of a taco, if your lettuce leaves aren’t large enough, who cares! Whip this recipe up as a chicken taco salad. You won’t be disappointed.

Lettuce Taco Shells

The key to making healthy low carb tacos are the large romaine lettuce shells. The bigger, the better.

You can wash and dry your lettuce prior to cooking so that they dry in time. You can also use a salad spinner to extract all the water. This way, you’re left with crispy lettuce that resembles a taco shell!

How to Make Chicken Lettuce Tacos

No need for packaged taco seasoning, this recipe is easy with the spices you are guaranteed to have on hand in your kitchen.

And even though you will be using chicken instead of beef, you will still season it as you would for regular tacos.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Tacos (Gluten-Free, Paleo)

Spicy Hot Buffalo Chicken

 

First, I whisked the hot sauce and spices in a medium bowl to create the spicy marinade.

When choosing which hot sauce to add, use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce, or Frank’s RedHot Original for for a whole lot of spicy goodness.

I also chopped the onion, tomatoes, jalapeños, portioned the shredded cheese, and washed and dried the lettuce leaves.

If you don’t have time to marinate the chicken for an hour beforehand, you can cook the chicken first, chop them up, and then continue to fry them in the sauce mixture.

The taste is unreal.

Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have gone by and the girls have changed so much, so very different in their own unique way, growing and blossoming faster than ever. All I had to do was blink and all of a sudden I have a 9 year old wiser than her years, an 8 year old who says it like it is, and an almost 2 year old who doesn’t miss a beat. 

“Let me love you a little more before you’re not little anymore.” This couldn’t be a more truer feeling for us moms raising older children.

I will never stop loving you. A mother gives and gives, loves and loves with no cap, no end, no limit. When life gets tough, always know that I will forever be here for you, loving you and supporting you every step of the way.

Cold and flu season is here! Here are 5 Reasons Wh Cold and flu season is here! Here are 5 Reasons Why You Need a Honeywell True HEPA Air Purifier in Your Home 💨

1. Indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air with allergens trapped inside. Using an air purifier can help ensure the air inside our homes is fresher and cleaner!

2. It helps reduce airborne allergens like dust mite debris in the bedroom and pet dander. This can help reduce a variety of symptoms you may be having.

3. Helps reduce odours (mom win for any lingering dirty diapers sitting in the trash) keeping air smelling fresher.

4. Set the timer and forget it! This is my favourite feature because I’m just so busy and would forget to shut it off when not needed.

5. Cleaner air, feel better, live better, sleep better. Need I say more?!
