Paleo Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic
Happy Feast Friday!
Wow, I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving! Hasn't this year flown by?! I swear I was just setting my 2014 goals and now WHOOSH. At any rate, I'm really excited to eat all of the traditional stuff, we'll be in Mississippi and you better believe the eatin' is gonna be good there! However, my family and I often stray from the traditional menu and put together a feast just as delicious but totally different. It's a fun way to spice things up and create new traditions. We love our seafood feast at Christmas (I'll do a post on that one as well!). I've put together a super yummy, Non Traditional Paleo Thanksgiving Menu for you and it includes a new recipe for my Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic. Get you some of that!
