About Me

My photo
Like most people, I love to eat. I love to cook. And as of a year ago on Dec. 26th...I love to do it all in a healthy way. I'm living proof that all you have to do is change minor things in your life and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. In one year, I changed how I ate (portion control), what I ate (not a lot of fried food, more veggies, less alcohol and sugars) and added a little exercise in my life (3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes). And at the end I am 52 lbs lighter :) That was 3 years ago… and I've kept the weight off. These recipes have helped me keep it off and are easily adaptable for any and all diets. Just use a little imagination and let your stomach guide you :)

Bourbon Chicken...without the bourbon

All you need is:

1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup brown sugar
1 lb chicken

Mix all ingredients together in a crock pot for 6-8 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high. Or stove top it and its ready in about 30 minutes :)

Stove top directions:
1. Turn skillet on medium high heat
2. Place chicken in skillet (maybe with a teaspoon of oil so it doesn't stick)
3. After 2 minutes, flip chicken.
4. After another 2 minutes, add other ingredients.
5. Let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes on medium low.
