with Coach Kati Epps and Austin Fit Magazine

I love, love, love spice!  The flavors in this healthy and oh so delicious recipe created by Coach Kati Epps with @mybodygx in Austin is proof you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for healthy food options.  I love the fiery flavor of buffalo sauce, so tangy, so spicy…yum!!  Add tangy blue cheese and viola; a flavor explosion ready to tailgate, entertain, or serve family style for a weeknight dinner.
