Busy at work today and need to cook up some more chicken for the week. Let the Kefir go a bit to long and now have curds and whey. Those lil buggers are really multiplying - can't wait to start the coconut Kefir. Will make a few batches for kefir 'cheese' as it really is tasty and full with the good flora.
I needed to run up to the store to grab some chicken, cheese cloth etc. While in CVS I happened to see they had the mini bags of Cadbury Mini Eggs (NOT creme eggs). Great marketing.. they were on an end cap in the RX area. So while I was there to pick up my script FAR, FAR away from the candy and junk food, I would just happen upon them. These is my FAVORITE Easter candy. So I bought 4 packages (2 for me, 2 for Chet)! I will open one and have a few when I reach my first BIG goal. But I just couldn't walk away and not grab a few, cuz they will be gone soon.. RIGHT!!.. and we LOVE them.. I did hide them from Chet, so he won't eat them. I do have self control when it comes to sweets, just not cheese :)
Made another small batch of chicken to vacuum seal for the week as I gave a bunch to my sis - She texted me at lunch time that she was eating one of the packs and LOVED IT.. Made me smile, I love when people enjoy my cooking. We ran out of homemade creamy garlic dressing - so made a big batch. I reduced the amt of oil, increased the ACV, lemon juice, Dijon and added Kefir. So good and no soybean oil or preservatives. I have been making my own dressing for years, but generally started with a good seasons packet or ranch packet. This recipe is so much better and WAY less sodium. 2 TBS - 68 cals, 1 carb, 7 fat, 210 sodium.
I didn't get a chance to cut the chicken up and weigh it out, so I'll get to it tomorrow. Taking the time now to portion out the meals for the week (especially lunch), helps keep us on track, forces portion control and allows cooking week day meals much faster and healthier. I strongly suggest taking the time to prep for the week.
TIP - 1 large breast is generally ~10 - 12 oz once all the fat is trimmed etc. which is almost perfect for Chet's 6 oz and my 4 oz cooked portion.
