Delicious recipes!!

So I have found an amazing website full of hCG friendly recipes and I am SO EXCITED to try them all! After finding all of them, I am certain I will be doing a 3rd round! I will have to wait longer between though. The more times you do it, the longer it takes your body to get rid of it afterwards.

So here's the recipe I tried for lunch..and will definitely be doing again!

"Fried" Chicken Tenders

• 100g chicken
• 1 T milk
• 1 Melba Toast
• Seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, ground red pepper, garlic powder)

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Slice chicken breast into 3 tenders.
3. In small bowl, mix milk and any seasonings you prefer.
4. Grind Melba Toast in food processor until it is a powder.
5. Put Melba Toast powder in a separate small bowl.
6. Add chicken to milk mixture and toss to coat well.
7. Then one at a time, place chicken in Melba Toast powder and coat both sides of chicken.
8. Place chicken in glass baking dish and bake 30-40 mins, turning over halfway through.
9. In last 5 mins, turn on broiler and broil 2-3 mins each side.

Serve immediately


This was SO good and very close to the weight watchers oven "fried" chicken I usually make!

For dinner, I will be having meatballs with marinara sauce!

Meatballs:

• 100g hamburger
• 1 Melba Toast (ground into powder)
• 1 T milk
• parsley
• onion powder
• basil
• oregano
• garlic
• salt
• pepper

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. In bowl, combine all ingredients.
3. Form into 1" meatballs (makes about 6-7).
4. Place in baking dish or non-stick baking sheet and cook 10 minutes turning halfway through cooking time.

Top with marinara sauce.

Marinara Sauce:

• tomato
• water
• basil
• parsley
• onion powder
• garlic (fresh minced)
• salt
• pepper

1. Fill small saucepan with a few cups of water & bring to boil.
2. Score skin of tomato in a few places with serrated knife.
3. Blanch tomato in the boiling water for 1-2 mins.
4. Immediately transfer tomato to ice water to cool and discard boiling water.
5. Remove skin of tomato and discard skin.
6. Preheat small non-stick saucepan over MED-HI heat.
7. If want chunky sauce, crush tomato with your hands in saucepan (discard stem). If you prefer smoother sauce, puree tomato in blender or food processor then add to pan.
8. Add garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper.
9. Bring to low boil, then immediately reduce heat to low, cover & simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often to keep tomato from sticking.
10. Turn heat up to MED.
11. Add parsley, more garlic, and basil.
12. Cook 5-10 more minutes, stirring constantly. While cooking, start adding water 1T at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

Can't wait to try it! Oh and for dessert...Orange Julius!

Orange Julius:

5. Blend to desired consistency. Add water as needed.

TIP: Place this in the freezer for about 1 hr after preparing and have an on protocol version of orange sherbet!
