Mediterranean Chicken And Orzo

This is one of my favorite dishes I got this from Prevention magazine's Flat Belly Diet cookbook.. I love it, it's healthy, contains MUFA's (monounsaturated fatty acids) and boy does it taste great..... It's also quick and easy to make, and my family eats it lol

Hey guys!! Hope you all are doing well! Looking forward to today's challenge workout!!!

skinz2k2

challenge done! I'm going to get on my bike tonight. Great job guys! Oh yeah, put me down for 5 extra miles this week. I'm doing doubles plus the challenge, so I'm a wee bit tired, but I will definitely do 5 extra miles this week! Let's do this!

sugarsprinkles

I got 5 miles in for you today!
I did my regular 3 miles, then added a mile for yesterday on the eliptical, and a mile for today on the STAIRMASTER!!!
These hotel gyms occasionally have a variety! I also did the swimmer's arm thing with weights
I'm in Richmond and Ashland, VA for the next few days.

antijen

I think I can manage 3 miles/day (minus 3 miles in case something comes up one day), so if my math is correct that's 15 miles. If more is needed by the end of the week I bet I could kick in a few more.

I thought I read upthread that miles completed on an elliptical or bike count toward the 100 miles as well. Can anyone let me know if this is the case?

I found a recipe from "The Diabetic Chef", Chris Smith, that I'm dying to try this week. It's low carb, and uses just the vegetables that my parents garden in bursting with at the moment.

Ingredients:
2 medium zucchini
2 medium yellow squash
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 lb large shrimp deveined and w/out shells
1 lemon
2 Tbsp chopped parsley

Trim the end of both the zucchini and yellow squash. Cut the vegetables into long narrow strips. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables. Toss until tender (3-5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Spray a pan with nonstick cooking spray and heat it over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until done, (3-4 minutes). Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the pan and toss until all the shrimp are coated. Serve the shrimp on top of the veggies and garnish with the chopped parsley.

I brought an additional mile walking the dog, and 2.5 on the excercise bike to my 30 minutes on the treadmill, which is daily! I did my challenges and and some pilates and benchwork, too. I think I'm seeing a difference. I don't know. Hubby says he is, and that's a vote of confidence that works for me

prunella1066

My challenge for today is done......and I did 1.25 miles on the treadmill, 1.50 miles on the elliptical and 1.50 miles on the arc trainer.... for a total of 4.25 miles logged in for today!! Also I didn't mention that on Monday in addition to my 1 mile on the treadmill I did 1.50 miles on the elliptical and 1.50 miles on the arc trainer for a total of 3 miles for Monday. For a total of 7.25 miles done!

Finished my challenge today. I did 18.9 miles on a stationary bike and 2.1 miles on the stairmaster (SO glad that counts).

One of my favorite recipes ever. Even my meat eater friends/family think these are awesome. People rave about them! I use red salsa instead of salsa verde and sometimes I put cheese on for those who eat it. There are lots of opportunities to modify these like that. I don't have the nutritional into though. It's not offered on the website I got this from. Even though it's not a concern for me, these are gluten free.


Sweet Potato & Black Bean Enchiladas

Filling::

Beans:
1 14-oz can black beans, rinsed, drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
fresh lime juice from 1 lime

Potatoes:
2 cups cooked sweet potatoes, smashed
1 Tbs chopped canned green chiles
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp gluten-free curry or chili powder
sea salt and black pepper, to taste

To Assemble::

8 corn tortillas (*tip:: wrap in paper towel and reheat briefly in microwave before stuffing, to soften)

1 cup vegan “chicken broth”
1 Tbs white rice flour or arrowroot starch
1 cup salsa verde (green salsa) or chopped canned green chilies
cumin or chili powder, to taste

Preheat your oven to a moderate 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a non-stick spray into a rectangular baking dish that would hold 8 enchiladas.

In a mixing bowl combine the drained black beans with minced garlic and lime juice. Toss to coat the beans and set aside.

In a separate bowl combine the smashed sweet potatoes with a tablespoon of chopped green chiles; add the spices. Season with sea salt and pepper.

To make a vegan sauce: combine the vegan broth with a tablespoon of rice flour or arrowroot; heat in the microwave till thickened. Whisk in the salsa verde. Add cumin.

Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Begin stuffing the warm (*see above) tortillas by laying the first tortilla in the sauced baking dish; wet it with the sauce to soften. Spoon 1/8 of the sweet potato mixture down the center. Top with 1/8 of the black beans. Wrap and roll the tortilla to the end of the baking dish. Repeat for the remaining tortillas. Top with the rest of the sauce. If you like, top with a sprinkle of GF vegan cheese.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the enchiladas are hot and bubbling. Serve with a crisp green salad spiked with Mandarin oranges or halved grapes.

Servings: 4
