Heideb,

I discovered that a lot of stringy meats are not band friendly for me. I ate a slice of pot roast the other day and that won't happen again anytime soon. I also had steak one day and it went fine, the next day, not so fine. For me, it's trial and see if I "slime" (sorry, but I had to do that, LOL). I try to take little bites and chew very well.

where do we get the magic bullet from? I've heard of it..walmart?

I got mine at Costco.

Breakfast ~ Chocolate Peanut Butter Walnut Protein Shake

Lunch ~ 1 Scrambled Egg & 2 Slices Bacon

Dinner ~ 2oz Chicken Ranch Jack & 1/4 C Parmesan Cheese Pasta Roni

Bloo,

Here is the recipe for the chicken-white bean-green chili soup.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 of a chopped onion

2 minced garlic cloves

2 cups shredded chicken (I use rotisserie chicken but canned can be used)

1 small can green chilies - use 2 cans if you more heat in your soup

1 can white beans, drained and rinsed

1 quart of low sodium chicken stock or broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

5 oz can of evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)**

salt and pepper

-saute onion with olive oil in a large pot

-add remaining items except salt, pepper and evaporated milk

-bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes

-add evaporated milk. simmer for 5 more minutes

-add salt and pepper to taste

-you can serve soup with a little shredded cheese on top for garnish

**I use evaporated milk to add a creamy texture to the soup without adding tons of fat and calories...you can use heavy cream if desired...you can also omit the milk all together if you don't like creamy soups.

I freeze leftovers in individual serving sized containers and pull one out of the freezer when I don't feel like cooking.

THANK YOU!! I plan on making this tomorrow :cursing:
