Large leaf lettuceFill crockpot with chicken and add enough chicken stock to cover chicken about half way. Add bottle of buffalo sauce, chopped onion, celery and garlic. Cook on low for approximately 6 hours. When chicken is tender and falling apart, add two containers of tofutti and ranch season pack and let it all resolve and blend in sauce. Layer large leaves of lettuce with the mixture and roll!*be sure to use low sodium or sodium free stock as the salt will come from the hot sauce. You can also sub the tofutti for avocados.

I almost feel guilty posting this because it’s so easy!
Ingredients:
2 packages of smoked turkey sausage/chopped – I use Hillshire farms because it’s only 5 grams of fat and lower sodium than others
2 large onions chopped
1 head of cabbage chopped
2 minced cloves of garlic
EVOO
S & P
Directions:
Sauté onions and garlic in EVOO for about five minute and then add chopped cabbage. Cook until completely wilted and cooked through – slightly browned.
In separate pan, sauté sausage until browned. Combine two pans and sauté together for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Told you! Easy peasy!!

I finally was able to update the site and get more recipes on the page! For all of the people asking about the cleanse vs max phase, follow your guide. The recipes that contain honey, dairy or mushrooms should be made during the last 14 days. Also, for the person that said no pork, everything is in moderation. Pork is good. The other white meat 🙂 Thank you everyone for sharing and loving on the blog. Means a lot to us!!
