  • Check out my blog! I have a few really tasty treats.
  • If you are getting more veggies in...I like to bake my fresh or frozen veggies...especially broccoli, I spray olive oil on a baking sheet...spread veggies and spray with a little more olive oil...then sprinkle with herbs...I buy a Italian mix. Bake at 350 for about 20 min or until as tender as you like!
  • Yes I've been getting into really loving brocolli. And I'm loving the whole world of spices there are out there. :)

    Lemon juice and asparagus with a bit of water steamed in a pan with a lid. Very tasty. I saute some onions on the side in a tiny tiny bit of EVOO and once the asparagus has steamed I combine as a tasty side. Black pepper lemon or lime to taste. Goes great with lemon salmon or chicken.


    You can also cut up bell pepper (any and all colors) and make a tin foil pocket... fill with peppers and lemon juice. Marinate chicken for 2 hours in fajita mix then toss it all on the bbq. Unwrap foil and cut chicken... add together!
  • i really love the oscar mayer cooked chicken strips mixed with some veggies (chopped onions peppers and mushrooms with some seasoning added in a microwave safe bowl for a few minutes and presto!!! you can switch it up with many veggies too...also starkist premium salmon with a microwavable brown rice cup is fast and yummy! add some hot sauce or everglades seasoning. mmmmmmmmm :-)

    I just love the microwavable brown rice cups!!!! My new thing I really love now is sweet potatoes. My trainer wanted me to add some carbs and told me to do something like brown rice, sweet potatoes, and jasmine rice. Have you tried the Jasmine rice.

    I LOVE Jasmine rice. I make a lot of Thai food and I always use Jasmine rice with that. By far my favorite type of rice. It's so fragrant and delicious, which is something not often said about rice. Yummmmmmmmmm. :love:
