Cream Cheese Chicken

I have found many great recipes from Crockpot365, including this one for Cream Cheese Chicken. There are two options for ingredients.

Option 1
2 cans cream of something soup
frozen chicken - enough to feed four adults
2 T Italian seasoning
1/2 t celery seed (I never put this in)
1 T onion powder
1 T sugar
1/4 t black pepper
1 t salt
2 cloves minced garlic
block of cream cheese (to add later)

Option 2 - This is the one I've used
1 can cream of something soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
frozen chicken pieces
packet of Italian salad dressing mix
2 cloves minced garlic
block of cream cheese (to add later)

Put everything except for the cream cheese into the crockpot. Cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and begins to shred. Shred the chicken with two large forks, and mix in the block of cream cheese. Switch the crock to high and cook for another 30 minutes, or until the cream cheese is fully melted.

I ate this with green beans. That's it! A delicious phase 1 approved meal!

Magnificent Meatloaf!

No really... it is!

I used to hate meatloaf, but I like to think that I have grown up a bit, and now love it. I asked my mom for the recipe, and was told there really weren't measurements; just play it by ear (hand). This is her best "recipe".

Mix together hamburger, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, egg, onion (optional).
I made and froze mini-meatloafs. On the day I want to eat it, I take it out in the morning to thaw, then bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. Part way through (20 minutes or so) drain and pour sauce on; continue baking.

Sauce 1 (this one is more for a family serving, not mini ones)
2 cans tomato sauce
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons mustard
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce

Sauce 2 (I use this one for my mini-meatloafs)
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

How to Lose Your Muffin Top



Hold a stability ball overhead with both hands and with your feet shoulder-distance apart. Keeping your back flat, abs tight and arms by your ears, bend forward from the hips until your torso creates a 90-degree angle with your lower body. Hold for 15 seconds and slowly return to starting position. Repeat 15 times.









Double Oblique Crunch: Lie with your back on the floor, hands behind your head and legs lifted so your shins are parallel to the floor. Exhale as you crunch your knees in towards your right shoulder. Lower and repeat by alternating left and right for 20 to 30 repetitions.

Leg Scissors: Sit with your legs straight and place your forearms on the floor beside you. Lean back slightly and extend your legs until they form a 45-degree angle with the floor. Scissor your legs, alternating your right leg over your left and left over your right for 30 seconds. Repeat 15 to 20 times. For an added challenge raise your arms.

A Hard-to-Quit Workout

If you want a workout you’re practically guaranteed to stick with, choose this one: walking.


Walking has the highest compliance rate of any exercise. But you’ll need to take the right number of steps each day to reap the maximum health benefits. What’s the magic number?

When you’ve taken at least 10,000 steps today -- a pedometer can help you keep count -- you’ll have walked the optimal amount for good health. Or set your stopwatch, and don’t stop until you’ve accumulated 30 minutes -- all at once, or broken up into 10-minute segments.

Phase 1 Snacks

Eating snacks 3-5 times a day between meals is a great way to keep full and speed up your metabolism. If you include protein with your snacks, you will feel full longer!

Here are some phase 1 approved snacks:

-Raw vegetables – I have a low tolerance for vegetables, so I tend to stick to the same ones: celery, cucumbers, and snap peas
-Cooked vegetables – I will eat most vegetables as long as they have a sauce disguising them. Try some with cheese sauce.
-Cheese slices
-Hard boiled eggs
-Deviled eggs
-Plain Yogurt (I usually find a low carb flavored yogurt instead. I’ve found some with fewer than 8 carbs. Of course, as soon as I found them, they stopped carrying them in my grocery store! But keep your eyes peeled!)
-Half of a WellnessPro shake
-Salad – add bacon bits, cheese, and/or eggs to make it more filling
-Cottage cheese
-Beef Jerky
-Cut up sausage, or any other kind of lunch meat
-String cheese
-Sugar-free Jello

And remember to drink LOTS of water. Sometimes when you think you’re hungry, you’re actually thirsty.

If you have any other great phase 1 snack ideas, let me know!

Cheese Sauce

Since I have a low tolerance for most vegetables, especially cooked ones, I use cheese sauce to disguise them. I LOVE it on broccoli and cauliflower.

Ingredients
1/8 cup butter
2 tablespoons cup flour
dash of paprika, pepper, salt
1 cup of milk
½ cup grated cheese

Directions
1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, paprika, pepper and salt. Pour in milk; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
2. Stir in cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until melted and well blended.

15-Minute Sand Workout

While summer is still here, enjoy working out while you soak in the summer sun!

Shuttle Run:
Make three parallel lines in the sand, 5 yards apart. Straddle the middle line with your knees slightly bent and your arms bent so your hands are in front of your thighs. Move to your right and bend at the knees to touch the line with your right hand, then run to the left and touch the far left line with your left hand.

Sand Skip:
Skip forward so that you're jumping and landing on the same foot. Work on leaping as high as possible by driving your knee upward as you push off the ground with your opposite foot.

Squat Jump:
Stand with your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart and your fingers laced behind your head. Bend at the knees to lower yourself until your thighs are at least parallel to the sand, then jump up as high as you can. Sink directly into the next squat without pausing.

Jump and Stick:
Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, hands beside your thighs. Jump straight up, then land on only one leg with your knees bent, your shoulders slightly forward, and your butt and hips back. Try to steady yourself for 2 seconds, then return to the starting position and jump again. Alternate the leg you land on and do four jumps on each leg.

Standing Calf Raises


Develop "head turning" calfs by doing standing and seated calf raises. Complete calf raises anywhere with or without weights. Simply stand or sit flat footed, lift up onto the balls of your feet and return! I like to do about 3 sets of 25. You can increase the difficulty by holding onto some weight while you do them. I'm not there yet, but my gym machine Wendy is!

Winner!

Phase 1 Meal Plan

Today I started back on a strict Phase 1 diet. I need to jump start the weight loss before school starts, so it’s officially Hammer Time! For the next two weeks, I will be drinking plain shakes (no fruit) for two meals a day and eating dinner/snacks that are completely phase 1 approved. Sometimes I spend so much time thinking/complaining about what to make for phase 1 dinners, so I decided to write down my two week meal plan. This will help me (and anyone else who wants to join in) know exactly what to make/eat. Wish me luck!

Day 1
Barbecued Burger with cheese and pickles – no bun
Cucumbers and celery


Day 2
Vegetable stuffed chicken breast with spinach
(minus the carrots and capers)

Day 3
Barbecued chicken with Montreal Steak Spice marinade
Salad


Day 4
Soy sauce chicken
Broccoli and cauliflower with cheese sauce


Day 5
Beef Stir Fry

Day 6
Barbecued steaks with Montreal Steak Spice marinade
Cucumber salad

Day 7
Breakfast!
Omelets with ham, cheese, broccoli
(I don’t like many vegetables, but you can add peppers, mushrooms, onions, and any other phase 1 approved vegetable)


Day 8
Hamburger minestrone soup
(minus the carrots)

Day 9
Hamburger minestrone soup

Day 10
Turkey and black bean salad
I’m using the recipe for chicken and black bean burritos, but substituting turkey for the chicken, and putting it on salad instead of in wraps. Should be delicious!


Day 11
Turkey and black bean salad

Day 12
Taco Salad

Day 13
Barbecued steaks with Montreal Steak Spice marinade
You can never have enough steaks!
Cucumber salad


Day 14
Paprika pork chops
I’ve never tried this recipe, but I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Broccoli and cauliflower with cheese sauce

Taco Salad


Taco salad (without the taco chips) is a great phase 1 meal. Yes, the chips are really what makes it so yummy, but its still good without. On occasions when I'm not being so strict, however, you bet they are thrown back in!

Here is one version of a simple taco salad recipe. I deleted the taco chips part. The recipe and picture came from allrecipes.com.

Enjoy!

1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup salsa
1 (15.25 ounce) can kidney beans
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Optional garnish: sour cream, chopped tomato, and additional salsa

Paprika Pork Chops

UPDATE: I made this last night. My dad loved it, my mom liked it, and I probably won’t make it again. I just didn’t really like the flavor. We only put half of the onions in, and that was plenty. But, it works for phase 1, so I ate it. Let me know what you think.

This is a new recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but since it is 100% phase 1 approved, I thought I'd give it a shot. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/3 cup sauerkraut, drained
1/3 cup sour cream
4 boneless pork chops
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions

1.Set uppermost oven rack 5 inches from heat source, and preheat broiler.

2.Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onions, and cook until soft and golden. Remove from heat. In a bowl, stir together 1/2 teaspoon paprika, sauerkraut, onions, and sour cream.

3.Season pork chops with pepper, garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon paprika.

4.Broil pork chops 6 minutes. Turn, and broil 5 to 6 minutes more. Remove from oven. Spread sauerkraut and onion mixture over pork chops, and broil 1 or 2 minutes more.

Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

1 tablespoon (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) salt
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
(instead of the jalapeno, I put in a small can of diced chilies)
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
1 can (19 oz/540 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup (250 mL) salsa
8 large whole wheat tortillas
2 1/2 cups (625 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream

In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry onion, garlic, salt and pepper until softened, about 3 minutes. Add chicken, jalapeno, red pepper, beans and salsa; cook, stirring, until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

Spoon about 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the filling down centre of each tortilla; sprinkle each with 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the cheese. Fold in bottom edge, then sides; roll up. Place, seam side down, in greased 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until golden and hot, and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

I am a big fan of freezer meals, and these make great ones. Here’s the freezer meal directions:

After sprinkling with remaining cheese, let unbaked burritos cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold. Cover and overwrap with heavy-duty foil (or wrap individually in heavy-duty foil) and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen, loosely covered with foil, in 400°F (200°C) oven until golden and hot, and cheese is melted, about 25 minutes.

Tip: Defrost in the refrigerator overnight, warm them up in the morning and pop into a thermal lunch box. Or if your child has access to a microwave at school, wrap two burritos to warm up there. Otherwise pack them in a lunchbox that keeps food warm or cold.

Hamburger Minestrone Soup

1 cup sliced carrots
2 teaspoons basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 can green beans
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can navy beans, drained
(or just two cans of your favorite beans)

In a large pot, sauté onion, celery and garlic until tender. Stir in broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. In a large pan, cook beef until no longer pink. Drain. Stir beef into soup with zucchini and beans. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Top each serving with parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!

Exercise Tip


Transform flab to abs!
Define your six pack with reverse crunches.

Lie on the floor. Keeping your abs drawn in, roll your pelvis off the floor and, maintaining the same knee angle, bring your knees to your chest. Slowly lower, pause, and repeat. Aim for five sets of 15 to 20 repetitions.

Health Tip


Water is a vital part of a healthy diet. Did you know that our bodies are made up of about 70% water, yet it has been estimated that up to 75% of people are chronically dehydrated? To prevent dehydration, experts recommend that everyone drink at least six to eight glasses of water a day to stay properly hydrated and to flush out toxins. And of course, don’t forget your Dfense!

Portion Size Basic Guidelines

One of the key ways to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight is through portion control. Research has shown that people often underestimate how many calories they are consuming each day by as much as 25%.

What is a Serving Size?

Use the list below to gain a perspective on how much food a recommended serving size really is; it may be much smaller than you realize.

Baseball — a serving of vegetables or fruit is about the size of your fist
A rounded handful — about one half cup cooked or raw veggies or cut fruit, a piece of fruit, or ½ cup of cooked rice or pasta – this is a good measure for a snack serving, such as chips or pretzels
Deck of cards—a serving of meat, fish or poultry or the palm of your hand (don't count your fingers!)
Golf ball or large egg — one quarter cup of dried fruit or nuts
Tennis ball — about one half cup of ice cream
Computer mouse — about the size of a small baked potato
Compact disc — about the size of one serving of pancake or small waffle
Thumb tip — about one teaspoon of peanut butter
Six dice — a serving of cheese
Check book — a serving of fish (approximately 3 oz.)

Remember, eating correct portions will help you maintain weight. However, if your goal is to lose a few lbs follow the Phase 1 or Phase 2 lists of recommended foods.

Having a difficult time keeping all of this in mind? Go here to print out a wallet size portion guide.

Vegetable Stuffed Chicken Breast

Try this Quick and Easy Dinner Recipe


Vegetable Stuffed Chicken Breast

1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp capers
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup shredded carrots (and/or green or red peppers)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cup chopped spinach
2 Tbsp crumbled feta cheese

Using a chef's knife, split the chicken breast open by slicing three-quarters of the way through the meat, so that it opens like a book. Place the chicken breast in between two sheets of wax paper and pound with a mallet until it is approximately one-quarter-inch thick.

In a large skillet, heat oil and lemon juice over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breast with garlic powder and pepper and place in the skillet. Cook two minutes and then flip the chicken over to cook the other side for two minutes. Move to one side of skillet. Combine chopped onions, carrots and other vegetables (if you like) and capers in skillet. Continue to flip the chicken every two minutes until thoroughly cooked.

Spoon the vegetables onto the chicken breast and fold in half. Remove stuffed chicken from skillet and serve on chopped spinach. Sprinkle with feta cheese.
