Making eating our protein easier...

Thanks for the great ideas ladies =)  So far all I've done is buy up a lot of fresh salmon, tilapia, boneless chicken breasts.  I spent Friday cutting them up, weighing them in 2oz portions and wrapping and freezing them.  They are so small they'll dethaw quickly if my parents plan something for dinner that I can't/won't have or go out for dinner.  They fry up superfast too!

I'm going to try some slowcooker ideas, Barb or Laurie do you have a link for the chicken fajita recipe? =)  And I'm going to try your salad recipe soon Barb as I'm tolerating everything beautifully!

Laurie R's Chicken Fajita recipe

In a crockpot

1/2 box of low sodium chicken broth
1 pkg of chicen fajita seasoning mix
5 frozen chicken breasts
1/2 bottle or more of salsa

Stir the seasoning mix in with the broth - add chicken breats and pour salsa on top
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours

When done - the chicken will pull apart and shred very easily. I use a slotted spoon and immediately put in small containers and then add shredded cheese on top. Very easy to pull out when needed

If I have it around, I also put some extra tomatoes or salsa on top and sour creme

Really easy to do

As I was reading the post's I saw chicken thighs.  Dave tried some and had dumping...My mom thought there may have been too much fat??? Sorry sort of off topic.

I have two things i do to make getting protein easier.

Sundays I slice several different kinds of cheeses and put them in Tupperware in the fridge then it's easy to grab some and go. I also always have cheese strings on hand.

Every weekend I cook 20 to 30 chicken wings and then put them in the fridge, I can grab a couple and eat them quickly.  I have yet to make it through a week and have "extra" chicken wings!

piller's turkey bites!  like lil pepperettes. they sell them at costco. each has 6gm of protein, they're a bit spicy and i eat a couple a day as snacks.

roasted edamame and salt and vinegar almonds from `costco. i keep both in my purse.

i make a whack of deviled eggs and keep them in tupperware in the fridge.

cheese cheese cheese.

I LOVE those salt and vinegar almonds - they have such a "vinagry" taste.  I keep them in my purse too!

salt and vinegar is my favourite chip flavour, so when the lady was sampling these out at costco, i tasted them and almost kissed her, i was so excited!  my boyfriend doesn't like salt and vinegar and i caught him RINSING OFF MY ALMONDS.  i wanted to stab him in the face.

I can't believe he did that....MEN!  he'll learn soon enough not to mess with you and your treats!!!!!!

OMG stab him in the face LMAO

OMG you so DO NOT EVER  rinse S&V seasoning off any food!!! Tell him to get his own!!!  Glad you refrained from stabbing him in the face, Jude
