Mishinmite

I made this last night. It's so good. I only used 1/3 cup vinegar, though.

Crock Pot Balsamic Chicken

Ingredients

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 24 ounces) or breasts
sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley

Directions

Combine the first five dry spices in a small bowl and spread over chicken on both sides. Set aside. Pour olive oil and garlic on the bottom of the crock pot. Place chicken on top. Pour balsamic vinegar over the chicken. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Sprinkle with fresh parsley on top to serve.

at breakfast you can be 'tricked' by most cereals/toasted muesli with hidden sugars and fats. these may take 10 min of prep on a sunday and buying 7x $1 300ml containers from sams warehouse, but theyre yummy and you can add all sorts to them. i add 1tsp maca powder to each type, swap the cocoa for raw cacao, ad lsa or goji berries if i feel inclined. best of all, some nice person already knows the secret! - theyre in the fitnesspal database.

Alehmer

Love my eggs in the morning. I usually just eat 4x eggs and 5x egg whites for breakfast now, but it's easy to jazz them up with just a few veggies and chicken sausage.

Also, in the same vein, Quiches are great because they can be cooked in a large volume and the reheat very, very well all week and are good for any meal. Again, it's not necessarily quick to make by itself, but you have at least 8 meals out of one prep.

Add Sauce or spices, like BBQ (vinegar base, not sugar base), Fajita seasoning, or anything that takes your fancy
