    I could make a ham, which isn't BAD, depending on how you make it but this dish is actually very tasty. I don't know. I just don't have any urge to eat more fattening stuff. It's weird. Almost like something just clicked inside my brain to view food differently. I think that is why I am doing so well. I would think about food all the time before, and not in a good way. Now, I think about it but only to sort of plan my day out.

    You have a blessed Easter too!!

    I love this recipe, last time I made it though I had the heat turned up too high on my skillet and I burnt my chicken. What do you cook yours on?

    I put mine between medium and medium-high and just watched it.
