Foodie Friday!!!

Welcome back Sexy People!

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I have decided to spice my blog up with some variety and instead of lumping everything into one weekly blog I decided to start making entries on Fridays and all about FOOD! So for our first Foodie Friday I will give you a delish dish that you can try that is low carb and low calorie and tastes great! One of the reasons people don't commit to a diet is because you have to DIEt and give up anything that tastes good. So put down those celery sticks and rabbit food and come join the health food revolution!

Protein makes perfect! Are you sick of eating dry lifeless chicken breasts with no seasoning. Turn up the fun with this super simple recipe.

Serves four

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

4 tablespoons of Velveeta Cheddar cheese shreds

Lowrys Seasoning 

Onion powder

Garlic Seasoning

Take the Chicken breasts and butterfly them. (cut them in half but not all the way. Cut it deep enough to lay flat on a griddle or in a pan.) Please be careful whenever using sharp objects while cooking.

Season with all three seasonings on both sides of chicken. 

Cook the chicken until lightly golden brown on one side then turn over to cook the other side. Once turned over sprinkle one tablespoon of cheese on each piece.  Cook thoroughly then enjoy! If you are concerned of food safety make sure you take a knife and cut into one piece of chicken and check to see if it is white or pink. If it is pink keep cooking if it is white enjoy! :)

Serve up this chicken with a spinach salad and enjoy! Very filling and satisfying and doesn't taste overly healthy! This meal minus the salad is less then 200 calories!!! You can't go wrong with that! Also the velveeta shreds are actually higher in protein then in carbs so another epic food win and velveeta cheese is the best!

Speaking of salad, if you are anything like me you like a lot of dressing, croutons,  and a little spinach. I know the salad dressing is what kills you but its what makes the food bearable to me. So If you are a dressing lover like me here is a healthy salad solution that I have come up with. I recently came upon a salad dressing from Ken's. It has a red label, it is lite, and it is italian. It is AMAZING! I usually hate lite salad dressings and this one tastes great. It is under 50 calories for two tablespoons and only 1 carb! Yes 1 carb!!! Most vinaigrettes or italians usually have at least 4 carbs per two tablespoons so what an exchange! So Shout hallelujah from the roof tops you can finally enjoy a salad without overdoing the dressing! They have many other lite options that I haven't tried but if they taste anything like the italian you are in for a treat. So go eat a salad that tastes great with lots of dressing and don't feel bad about it! Below I placed a link to the dressing and hopefully it will show the one I am talking about. :) Also Croutons have proven to be fairly low carb too as long as you check the bag. Usually you can have 6 croutons and only get 4 carbs and if you are pairing this salad with a high protein meal like this chicken you will come out a winner.

Here is the healthy food find of the week

Breyers Carb Smart Ice Cream bars!!! 

http://www.breyers.com/product/detail/113880/carbsmart-vanilla-ice-cream-bar 

These bars are the bomb! They are really low carb for ice cream and taste amazing!!! I have fallen in LOVE with them! I buy the vanilla coated in chocolate. You get the pleasure of ice cream without all the guilt and bloating that comes with them! Obviously Every thing in moderation but these are fantastic. Note: These bars are a little higher calorie then I would like for a midnight snack but still way less calories then other ice cream bars. Just keep track of your food during the day so you can make some calorie room for these delicious treats! 

Both food recommendations have been found at Walmart. I hope you have enjoyed our first of many Foodie Fridays and will eat well this week! If you find something healthy and delicious share it here! I will try it and pass it along to the readers! Lets start a Healthy food revolution and say No More to DIEting in misery! So remember to Live well, Live healthy, and Live long!

Thank you for reading and Stay sexy America,

Be true to you,

With love to you,
