Healthy Eating Saturday Night

Roman Style Chicken by Giada

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

3 ounces prosciutto, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves

2 tablespoons capers

1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Directions

Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

In a heavy, large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.

1/4 cup olive oil

Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the peppers and prosciutto and cook until the peppers have browned and the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.

1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes

1/2 cup white wine

Return the chicken to the pan, add the stock, and bring the mixture to a boil.

1/2 cup chicken stock

 Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
If serving immediately, add the capers and the parsley. Stir to combine and serve. If making ahead of time, transfer the chicken and sauce to a storage container, cool, and refrigerate. The next day, reheat the chicken to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the capers and the parsley and serve.

The Battle of the Bulge

I realize I just had a baby 12 weeks ago. I do not expect a miracle to look like Jessica Alba. Sorry Jess you are included in this elite group of women we talk about.
I loved being pregnant. I loved staying fit while pregnant. I hated the day I couldn't work out anymore. I sit here today holding my beautiful little boy in my arms and my diet is the furthest thing from my mind. I do not want to feel guilty as I am sitting in my husbands Nanny's kitchen as she offers me Nanaimo Bar she made from scratch and tell no thank you. I would be that rude American. She has been waiting 12 months to meet her great grandson, I am not going to leave anything on the table for my first experiences in Canada.

This is why I am sharing this story. I apologize there are no pictures and the pinky tool is not set up right BUT I am in Canda on my IPAD enjoying some needed family time.
