All the flavors you love from buffalo wings without all the added fat. 

Making shredded buffalo chicken in the slow cooker is super easy, anyone can do this and you can use the chicken for everything from wraps and salads, to pizza toppings, sandwiches and more!

I love Kale, but unfortunately I don't eat raw Kale as often as I should.  Kale is an excellent salad green and a delicious alternative to spinach.  Kale is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Folate, Iron, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.  And if you need any other reasons to incorprate more Kale into your diet it has strong anti-inflammatory properties.
