Hi all,

I am back on my weight loss journey. The thing that got me in trouble last time was after 4 months - I got tired of eating the same old thing everyday. I can cook - I just stink when it comes to adding lots of ingredients - so I need help with recipes with as few ingredients as possible. Does anyone have any easy healthy recipes for dinner? Anything with chicken is great - my husband and I don't eat seafood so fish is out. Thanks!

    1 lb chicken tenderloins
    Buffalo Wing Sauce (check carb counts on the bottles and choose the lowest carb ones you can find. Texas Pete has 5 g for 2 TB, but other brands are around 1-2 g carbs for 2 TB) *** I use Frank' Hot suace ***
    Walden Farms Blue Cheese Dressing
    Celery *** use laughing cow cheese instead of blue cheese dressing ****
    Seasoning if desired
