Thai Salad (Gluten-Free and Paleo)

Buffalo Chicken Soup {Leftover Magic!}
If you’ve seen any of my previous meal plans, you know I’m a big fan of using up leftovers in interesting ways. This leftover magic remix is very similar! I started by cooking this crockpot Buffalo chicken from Skinnytaste; I served it on whole wheat buns with a slaw made from broccoli slaw and...
