Hey it's Annie!
ReplyDeleteCreeping on again. I have been making Matt's recipe and they are all delicious so I thought I would post one we did tonight. I made my turkey patties and I had fresh sage and thyme to use up so we made this delicious roast chicken tonight. Tastiest ever!
Ingredients:
1 roasting chicken, about 5 1/2 pounds
4 slices bacon
Fresh sage, about 6 to 8 large leaves, or about 1 to 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme leaves
Dash pepper
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper
1 apple, cored and cut in wedges, or an orange cut into chunks
Sprigs of thyme, sage leaves, rosemary leaves, etc., optional
Preparation:
Heat oven to 450°. Wash chicken and pat dry. Set the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. If you don't have a rack, set the chicken on a few ribs of celery.
In a food processor or chopper, process the bacon, sage or thyme, pepper, and garlic until finely minced or pasty in consistency. Put your finger(s) between the skin and meat of the chicken breasts and legs, loosening skin. Spread the minced bacon mixture under the skin, pressing and working it towards the back and towards the legs so it is evenly over the meat.
Put any excess minced bacon mixture in the cavity of the chicken, along with apple or orange chunks and sprigs or leaves of fresh herbs, if desired. Sprinkle the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the chicken for 10 minutes at 450°. Reduce heat to 350° and roast for about 17 to 20 minutes per pound, or until an instant-read thermometer reads about 165 to 170° when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh. Remove to a platter and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serves 4 to 6.
Bon Appetit!

Not my best day eating...I actually ate a ton today! Don't know why my appetite was unsatisfiable!
Let me start by saying I work part time and am a taxi driver the rest of the day, and let me tell you today was a busy one. Both my girls are in Metro Soccer and are playing high school basketball so they both had both sports today at different time.
ReplyDeleteThe first meal of the day was fine then I volunteered at the elementary school at 12 and all hell broke loose as far as eating goes. I wasn't hungry but then at 2 I remembered I hadn't eaten so I had meal #2
It wasn't until 8:30 that I had meal #3
meal #1 egg white 1/2 cup and 1 whole egg sauteed spinach kale and mushrooms
meal #2 left over chicken strips and 1/2 an avocado
snack lara bar - raw coconut(in between Alex's Bball and Soccer and then sammy's bball at 6pm
Meal# 3 I made pasta for the girls which was a little hard I have to admit but I made it through the cooking without even tasting it! HUGE STEP FOR ME!!!!
I had a stir fry.
Kale(I didnt like the taste of this kale not sure why but it was really bitter)
zucchini, red pepper, bean sprouts, mushrooms broccoli carrots and chicken.
I have an epicure spice the Asian one that doesnt have sugar so I used that ...I did miss my teryiaki though.
now I am going to have some more coconut and maybe jicma with some almond butter.
Oh yah and my best break through today..... My beloved latte that I make every day has been perfected without milk! I used unsweented coconut milk which is like water in taste but looks like milk so I tried to at coconut water which I had saved from the two coconuts that I cracked opened. It really tasted like I added sugar! Either that or I am not needing the sugar anymore.
Oh well I dont care I am just happy I have my latte now:)
Lory
I actually felt really good today, which was surprising, I thought that I would be jet-lagged. I am beginning to feel my energy even out throughout the day, and my cravings are really starting to go away....love it! Now I am focusing on less fruit, and more regular gym visits :)
ReplyDelete1: eggs scrambled in ghee, flank steak, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 grapefruit
2: carrots, cucumber slices, almonds
3: apple fennel salad, butternut squash lasagna, mandarin
4: beef brisket, grilled peppers, green beans
Lory - sounds like a busy day!! Good for you to stay strong with the pasta!! Are you feeling full after breakfast? I would eat 2-3 WHOLE eggs, not just whites...the yolks are the most important part!!
Meal 3: beef brisket, grilled peppers and green beans
ReplyDeleteI had a long day today, but luckily I was organized last night and put aside all the food I was planning to eat until I was able to be home.
ReplyDelete1: 2 scrambled eggs, flank steak, half an orange
2: 1/4 cup of almonds
3: leftover spaghetti squash and meat sauce (can you tell I like this one? :) ), kiwi.
4. veggies (sliced carrots, red/yellow pepper, celery), piece of smoked salmon
5. spinach salad with carrots, tomatoes, yellow peppers, flank steak and grilled zucchini. Dressing was a homemade lemon/olive oil concoction :)
Pretty good energy, also haven't been noticing my sugar cravings as much. I'm making a conscious effort to reduce my fruit so hopefully that helps. I did feel that my spin class was more difficult than I'm used to - by that may be because I took a "break" over the holidays.
This is Claudia (I have not set up my own blog...)
ReplyDeleteThis last while has been so hectic but all is good. However, I have to say my cravings are still there and I just want some sugar in my coffee people!!! I know get used to drinking it black, all I am saying is I have been cranky lately but sticking to the diet. Today's Meals:
meal 1: 2 sunnyside eggs (no coffee due to no water in house)
snack: apple
lunch: salad with chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, carrots in apple cide vineger and olive oil
snack: cashews and almonds
dinner: roasted chicken, 1/2 avocado, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers
snack: handful of grapes
we made the chicken blueberry patties tonight, looking forward to having them for breakfast tomorrow, and we have the flank steak marinating in accordance with Solo's recipe.
Despite not feeling good the past few days due to a flu, my energy tonight is great. The 8 hour sleep requirement is thus far not attainable, but slowly the Chumpys are improving their sleeping habits. I do feel a sense of clarity though, I suppose that is what happens when one does not have their nightly glass of wine!
