Good Eats

I went to the doctor a few weeks ago to see if we could finally figure out why I get so many darn migraines. While I was there he did some blood work and found out that my cholesterol is insanely high! I was so scared because I wasn't really sure what it meant. He said it couldn't be from my diet, but suggested I come back in three months for more blood work. I decided that I was going to cut out sweets, cut back on red meat, and change my eating habits. Eddie and I have been making healthy meals and we had to come up with ways to make the food creative. This is a spin on chicken that we really enjoyed:


Grilled Tuscan Chicken with Rosemary:
3 pieces of boneless chicken
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves
coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

 Mix together and let marinade for at least 4 hours. Once Marinated, spray bottom of frying pan and cook chicken on medium heat for approximately 15-20 minutes (or to your liking).


Zucchini:
2 zucchinis 
coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder with parsley 
(California Style from McCormick)
1 teaspoon butter
olive oil

Spray bottom of frying pan. Chop up zucchini, sprinkle coarse salt and fresh ground pepper (to your liking), add 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder with parsley, add 1 teaspoon butter and sprinkle olive oil over zucchini. Mix well in frying pan and cook on medium heat for approximately 15 minutes. 

This is such an quick and easy meal and it's so yummy! 
Hope you enjoy it :)
