ROUND THREE - More conscious eating

Since I'm a coffee lover, reading about caffeine and it's positive effects really encouraged me to have more of the java!



For the 2nd activity I checked out the Food network's healthy meals webpage:

Also, created a new recipe with as few processed ingredients as possible with chicken cutlets.

First, I sliced in half and pounded 4 cutlets to make them thin. Then sauteed diced yellow onions, strips of red peppers and 3 cloves of garlic in about two tbs of EV olive oil for a few minutes until the onions are glazed and shiny. Then I added Mrs. Dash and cracked pepper to the mixture.

I added the cutlets and covered to steam cook it until browned on both sides. The aroma of the cutlets cooking permeates the whole kitchen so my family says! It makes them want to eat right at that moment!


I make up a white sauce with half cup of warm-hot water and 1 Tbl of flour or cornstarch. Then pour over the cutlets and cook another few minutes. Then its ready. Add a green salad or rice and steamed veges and you are in for a delicious meal!!
