Chinese Chicken, YUM!

So, we don't ALWAYS eat the healthiest meals in the world. This is when we really control our portion size to limit the calories. One serving of this meal is around 450 is my best guess. But this one is in our weekly menu because it is just soooooo yummy! We call it our Homemade Chinese Chicken. Here is what you need. Per person: one chicken breast, one serving of brown rice, one bottle of sweet and sour sauce for cooking, peanut oil, and corn starch.

To prepare this you'll cut of the chicken in to small chunks (about 1 inch by 1 inch), place the chicken in a bowl with just enough corn starch to cover the chicken. Have the rice cooking and we personally use a Wok to fry chicken. Have the oil heating at this time. I usually try to start cooking the rice (boil in a bag) at the same time as I start the Chicken. Both take about 10 minutes to fully cook. Now take the chicken and fry it up in the walk. Stirring often. Once chicken is cooked turn off heat but keep it in the wok. Cover with the sauce and let it heat up in the walk while you portion out the rice properly on a small plate. Now use a big spoon to portion out the chicken on top of the bed of rice. Enjoy!

Yummy my favorite cheat meal of every week!

Homeade Flat Bread Pizza

This week I bring to you what I can do in this time of injury. How I eat. I do not eat junk food per say but I still enjoy the good food in life. There is always a way to make that food, "healthy." So here is on the the favorites in our home.

Its a flat bread pizza that when you eat the proper portion size will hit the spot, taste great, fill you up, and you'll consume less than 400 calories.

Ingredients include:

• Tandori Naan - Stonefire Flatbread - Whole Grain
• Jar of Pizza Sauce
• Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
• Sharpe Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
• Any veggies you might like to add

Today we just made Cheese Flat Bread Pizza. Preheat oven to 425. Set flat bread on baking sheet and with a spoon spread pizza sauce evenly over the flatbread surface, and spread Mozzarella Cheese evenly over pizza surface. Now add your veggies and sprinkle light layer of Cheddar cheese over pizza. Lastly I like to add an Italian seasoning of a light dusting of oregano. Now bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven, let cool, slice and serve. Generally our family eats half a single pizza is a serving.

Enjoy a favorite food of many but in a healthy, inexpensive way.
