im one week out of the surgery and the only way for me to cope with not eating solid foods is to cook. Weird yes,just how it works for me. I made this for my mother.

chicken in garlic lime saurce.

Take 4 chicken breasts.....cut them in half. Salt them,then use fresh ground pepper. Then take a large ziploc bag and pour all purpose flour in it. Take the chicken breast pieces and put them in the bag and do the shake and bake style of mixing. then get yourself ready made cloves of garlic,get about 2 heads of garlic worth....dice them up,then take about a cup worth of butter.

Pour the butter into a skillet,throw in the garlic into the skillet...sautee them to a light golden color. Add in chicken pieces. cook them on both ends for about 15-20 minutes.

take some limes,cut them into quarters. squeeze the juice onto the chicken pieces and then add a dash of lemon pepper seasoning. Make some white rice you got protien,some minor carbs and your good to go.

Sounds yummy I'll have to try that when that time comes. I am one week 2 days out and all I think about is food. So I'm looking for hood recipes to try when I can finally eat again.

I deal with not eating by cooking too. Well, what is considered cooking in this house! LOL I think it is that after you cook something you're tired of food and don't want to eat. I can't deal with going to the movies right now or going out to eat but it doesn't bother me to cook here.

Recipe sounds good btw!

That sounds GREAT! Will try it!

Thanks!
