Sweet and spicy Kabobs

I took 2 skinless chicken breasts and pounded them down to about 1/2" thick. Then I cut them into 1" pieces. I also took 10-12 large shrimp(deveined and shells off).

Place the proteins in a large bowl and add a season all salt, lemon pepper and a touch of Cayenne pepper. Mix well.

In the meantime I cut up 5 mini peppers(or 1 1/2 large sweet peppers), 1/2 of red onion (all in 1" slices) and 1 pkg. of mushrooms.

Place the proteins as well as the vegetables in a large ziploc bag with 1/3 cup of pineapple juice(from a can), 1/4 cup of olive or grapeseed oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice and red pepper to taste(as much as you like).

Mix well and place in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

Place on wooded skewers alternating veggies and meat. I put the chicken and shrimp on separate skewers due to the fact that the shrimp will cook faster than the chicken.

I than wrapped a few of the skewers with turkey bacon. 2 Slices per skewer and keep in place with toothpicks.

Then place on a hot grill for 15-20 min. turning ever 3-5 min. Take off of the grill and take the food off of the skewers and place on a plate.

Serve with your favorite sides and waaallllaaahhhhaaa! Happy eating y'all!

Chicken, bacon and spinach paninis

I took 2 chicken breasts and pounded them out with a mallet.

I then marinated them a buffalo wing sauce for 30 min. and seasoned with my fav. seasonings.

I warmed up an iron skillet with a dash of grape seed oil. Once hot I place both of the chicken breasts and cooked until done. About 8-10 min. per side.

While that is cooking take 2 handfuls of spinach from the bag(in the salad section), 1 tsp. minced garlic and 3 slices of pre-cooked bacon(cut up), 1 Roma tomato diced,  and place in a skillet until the spinach withers(about 5 min.) and set aside.

Take 2 slices of sourdough(per sandwich) spray with I Can't believe it's not butter spray on one side of each slice. Place butter side down on a pani press(or skillet), top with the chicken, spinach mix and your favorite slice of cheese.

I made some homemade cream spinach to go along with the panini and wallllaaahhh! Happy eating y'all!

news on processed meats

Even more reason to move to turkey bacon and sausage. I have started buying turkey bacon and I love it! If you place the bacon on a cooling rack, place on a baking sheet and cook for 15-20 min.(until crispy), you really can't taste the difference. Happy eating y'all

Non-fried chicken and green beans w/bacon and potatoes!

I made this dinner from a complete nod from Paula Deen and her son Bobby. I made my own twists to the recipes but... I really followed the main ingredients.

For the green beans and potatoes....

this is a real easy recipe and pretty healthy. I bought about a pound to a pound and a half of fresh green beans. Snap off the ends and then again in half and toss in the pot(after rinsing) Dice up 1/2 of a sweet, yellow onion, about 4 pre-cooked bacon slices(the pre cooked is so much easier BUT you can throw in 2 slices of uncooked bacon(i used turkey bacon this time). It will have more grease in it but the flavor is really good) and cut 3-5 red potatoes into quarters. Throw all of that in there with a can of chicken stock.cover and cook on med. heat until all is tender. About 20-30 min. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor and then a palm full (about 1 tablespoon) of dried oregano or dried Italian seasoning (you can get that Italian seasoning at walmart for .50 right now)!

For the non fried chicken.

I took 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs. I seasoned them to my liking. In a separate bowl I mixed1/4 cup of fat free miracle whip, the zest and juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 egg white and hot sauce as desired(optional).then I took a bowl of Kellogg's brand corn flake crumbs mixed with panko bread crumbs. Dredged the chicken in the wet mixture than into the bread crumbs. I placed the thighs on a cooling rack over a baking sheet and baked on 375 degrees for 40-45 min.

Serve with honey Mustard or Ranch and waaaalllaaahhhh.. yummy, healthy meal! Thank you Deen Family!

1 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup honey
1 tsp. lime juice
4-6 boneless chicken breasts
1 pkg of mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper to taste
8 slices of bacon,cooked
shredded cheese
Mix(preferably with an electric mixer) mustard, honey, lemon juice and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Pour 1/2 of the mixture over the chicken in a ziploc bag and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours(but you can marinate overnight). Chill the remaining marinate to serve with the chicken. Once you are ready to start cooking…Spray frying pan w/ cooking spray(I use a cast iron skillet or a cast iron panini press), sear chicken on both sides until cooked(about 8-10 min. Per side). In a separate pan… Melt the butter and saute the mushrooms until golden. Take the cooked chicken, place in an oven safe dish. top each chicken breast with 2 pieces of bacon across each breast, top with mushrooms and shredded cheese. Place in the oven on (low) broil until cheese is melted and golden and sprinkle with parsley!


Walllaaaa! Happy eating y’all!
