Mmmm Chicken

Tonight for dinner we had roasted chicken with potatoes carrots garlic and onion. This is one I my favorite goto meals. I make it both with a whole chicken and just roasting thighs and legs. Tonight was just parts.

Don't judge but my favorite part of the meal is the clean up. All the chicken drippings are at the bottom if the pan and are at just the right consistence to soak up with a slice o bread. For my non-meat eater readers you might want to skip this entry. The juice and the skin have always been my favorite parts of roasted chicken. It's the one food I never feel bad about eating afterwards. Yes I know the drippings and skin aren't the best part for you but to me they are worth it. I will be out on the trail tomorrow morning jogging my 1/4 mile and then walking a 1/4 mile the 2 and 1/4 mile hike Alexandra Angus and I walk everyday if it's not raining.

What to eat after a week of takeout?

After a week of takeout we had a wonderful tex-mex chicken salad for dinner. Even Alexandra liked it. Only 179 calories. Let me know if you want the recipe.

Time to get ready for Christmas.

Hello Happy Hour readers:)! Welcome back from the Thanksgiving weekend. I had a wonderful time in Jersey but missed my family very much. We have an Italian style Thanksgiving dinner when we head up there with lots of appetizers stuffed shells and then the turkey with potatoes corn stuffing carrots and rolls. I thought of my friend Anna Dawn while enjoying my stuffed shells knowing that was what she was having them in Ohio too). Of course we all went out the next night for more Italian food and had pizza for lunch the next day. So after all this food what do we have for dinner tonight? More pizza!!!!! So of course I've gained what seems like 20 pounds in less than a week. Next week we are back on our low cal. meals and walking everyday. Tracking what we eat too. It's time to get ready for the Christmas eating season.

Why do we have the two biggest food holidays so close together? It is impossible to maintain let alone lose weight the last week in November all the way through the first of January. I would like to lose 10 pounds before Christmas. Here's to an ambitious goal:)

Cheers
