This week’s Paleo Chicken Tenders (with yummy honey buffalo dipping sauce) can be made with ingredients from the Paleo box from Impact Kitchen. Impact Kitchen has a philosophy to provide minimally processed, nutrient dense and real food to its customers. When COVID hit, they closed their doors to the public but began to offer food delivery boxes containing pantry items, soups, stews and baked goods, as well as making food donations to local food banks. On April 20th, they launched “The Community Box” with the goal of raising money for our Impact Kitchen Employee Relief Fund, with proceeds going directly to their workers. You can order a box here!
