S. and I took Beauty for a long brisk walk last night so I guess the poor thing was still tired this morning. I picked up the leash to take her for a morning walk and she ran into her crate, hiding in a far corner. Lazy girl! :) We will go for a walk tonight, though, when S. gets home. I need to exercise!
My meal plan for today:
- Peach Oatmeal for breakfast (not sweet but not too bad, either)
- Swiss Mocha Shake for mid-morning snake
- I still have some chicken left so will make another salad with fresh veggies (tomato, cucumber, and romaine lettuce) and olive oil for lunch. I love this salad so does not feel like a diet at all. Usually, I add some freshly shredded Parmesan but need to stick to the plan for now.
- Vanilla Pudding for mid-afternoon snack
- Chicken Noodle Soup for dinner. Wild Rice Chicken Soup was delicious last night -- I was surprised, actually.
- Cinnamon Roll Crunch for evening snack.
I will make our
Favorite Grilled Chicken for S. This is how they make chicken at faculty/staff picnics at our school and it's absolutely delicious.
Ingredients:
- Chicken (I use skinless chicken breasts but mixed parts or chicken breasts with skin would turn out more moist, of course)
- Liquid smoke if grilling indoors and like the flavor
- Marinade/dressing of choice
If chicken breasts are large, I usually cut in half (only cooking one chicken breast tonight). The trick to super-moist chicken is to grill on low to medium for 45 minutes, transfer to the aluminum pan, cover with favorite dressing/marinade, seal with foil, and grill for another 45 minutes. Don't skip covering with dressing/marinade step -- will probably result in dry meat. I will also grill a couple of potatoes with meat, same procedure. A small salad will complete a meal for S. I am sure he won't be complaining. :)
We have this
grill and it's awesome. Food cooks evenly and it's easy to clean/store.
Now back to work!
