Tarragon chicken
This couldn't be easier to make.
You all know I LOVE my Forman grill. I grill the chicken with garlic, salt, pepper and tarragon on it.
In a pan I put a dab of butter and a little flour to make a rue. (if you are scared of the rue, u can use a bit of corn starch at the end.
add a tsp of minced garlic and saute to the side of the rue.
mix together and add 1 heaping tbsp of tarragon.
Add about 2 cups of chicken stock and allow to boil.
It should thicken from the rue.
Turn heat down to simmer.
add the chicken and simmer for 10 mins. I also add another sprinkle of tarragon in the sauce.
I serve it with brown rice, a veg. and of COURSE APPLESAUCE!!
YUMEEE!
Enjoy

Berry Cobbler
This was super duper easy to make and oh so YUMEEE!!!!
I put about a 1/2 cup whole blueberries, 1/2 cup blackberries and 1/2 cup strawberries in a pan.
I added about a 1/2 inch of water to the pan.
I sprinkled splenda over the top of the berries in a thin layer.
I added 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
I brought them to a boil and transferred into a baking pan.
DUMPLINGS
I put about a cup of whole wheat flour in a bowl added 2 turns of a salt grinder, 2 tsps of sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder.
Add water enough to make a thick batter.
Mix with hands. Grab small balls of batter and drop on top of the berries.

Portion control
ok I am at my HEAVIEST weight ever and I DON'T like it! What to do? What to do? Well, I dislike exercise--ALOT and I LOVE food--ALOT. I have decided to make a small change to try and challenge this battle of the bulge.
I have taken to eating on my daughter's elmo plate instead of a regular size dinner plate. It does look like a full plate with the food on it and I am getting half the food when I still clean my plate (as i am sure most of us were told to do growing up). I will start weigh ins in the morning and keep you posted on how its working for me.
Wish me luck and anyone who is on the same train as me, feel free to join me. Losing weight is ALWAYS better with a buddy, or 2 or 5 or more!
Thanks

Quick Chicken and Rice
This was SUPER easy to make with a little help from premade foods.
1-2 boneless chicken breast for each person
garlic powder
thyme
1-2 boil in bags brown rice
frozen veggies of choice
1 small jar of carbonara sauce ( I used William Sonoma)
My BEST FRIEND is the George Forman Grill!
sprinkle a coating of garlic powder and thyme on each side of the chicken
I grilled the chicken on my grill until it had a nice brown color.
Boil rice per package directions and add thyme into the cooking water
When rice is 1/2 cooked add frozen veg to water and watch for a bright green color (I used broccoli)
Heat sauce in microwave for desired temperature.
Serve with applesauce.
Super fast, super yumeee, with a little help from prepackaged friends!
ENJOY!
