 One of those tried (and tried again, again and again) and true recipes. Guests and clients (and their guests!!) rave about it!. Create new family favorites!

 Such a yummy combination. Amazing what you can come up with when you eliminate unhealthy ingredients and by ADDING in healthy ones! The very ones we are supposed to be eating and in fact were DESIGNED to eat! Everyone worries what they will be "giving up". when in fact it's what you are GAINING! Not only superior health (physically, spiritually, emotionally) but actual FOOD. Variety! Flavor! Texture! Pure Satisfaction!! The herbs, spices, citrus, mustards, wines, vinegars, non ending list of vegetable, phenomenal fruits, lean protein and all the myriad of various combinations really is ENDLESS!! I've been eating this way for 13+ years now (wow) and rarely a week goes by where  I don't discover something new. 


Honor and celebrate the holidays while not doing DIS-honor to you and your loved ones. In fact celebrate each and every day! Because that's what each and every day was intended to be.  A celebration of - life. Abundance. Health. Energy. Stamina. Confidence. Self-worth. Self-Esteem. Pride. THAT is your birthright.

 I believe I originally got this recipe from eatingwell.com, an excellent site. I tweaked it a bit. Yes, I'm a tweaker, a honer, improviser and a maximizer!


Chicken with Apples & Leeks

  • 4 chicken cutlets, 16 oz, medium-thick (I cut them into strips)                  
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder            
  • 2 large leeks, white only, cut into julienne strips      
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced                 
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary                            
  • ¼ cup cider vinegar                                      
  • 2 firm apples, peeled, cored & sliced (not too thin or they will turn into mush, yet thin enough to be soft yet firm in 10 minutes) 
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth 
1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan using about 2 tsps of Canola oil. Season chicken with salt & pepper, garlic & onion powders, add to the pan. Cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

2. Reduce the heat to low. Add another tsp of oil -  add leeks. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are soft, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Increase the heat to medium-high, stir in vinegar and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.

3. Add apples & broth & cook, stirring once or twice, until the apples are tender, about 4. minutes. Reduce the heat to low & return chicken & any juices to the pan. Simmer gently until the chicken is heated through.

Enjoy!!

Vicki Rothschild/Weight Management ~ “A Plan for LIFE ” Life Should Be Delicious!! 917-533-1794   www.facebook.com/vickiweightloss     vickirothschild@gmail.com Creating an Easier Fast   Before we talk about what’s best before & after a fast,  I’d like to clarify something: Every food falls into only one of three categories and no, it’s not meat, dairy & pareve. It’s proteins, fats and carbohydrates. I’m going to focus now on carbohydrates as this is what comes up most often when discussing what should be eaten prior to fasting and is indeed the most crucial to having an easier one. Being that it’s recommended that 45-60% of our caloric intake come from carbs, it’s pretty crucial on a daily basis as well. Soda is a carbohydrate, as are jelly beans, M&M’s, breads, apples, peaches, string beans, broccoli, cauliflower, celery. Yes people, vegetables are carbs !!   We need carbs. Carbohydrate is an organ...

Bragging and showing off my breakfast.. and I'm not gonna stop ! ( FYI: I eat my breakfast late, hours after I wake up) This one happened by accident!
