Recipe:
Dimple Donna's Garlic Mushroom Chicken / Squash Zucchini / Egg Noodles
Ingredients:
6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts - (seasoned with Lawry's, Tony Chacheres, Garlic Pepper, Granulated Garlic, Spanish Paprika and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper )
chopped fresh garlic (about a one bulb )
1 pkg. of fresh sliced mushrooms
extra virgin olive oil (You can also use Pam with Olive Oil, if you are watching fat, etc.)
1/2 stick butter
In a extra large cast iron or non-stick skillet, add butter and olive oil (or Pam). Once the oil is hot, add the fresh garlic and mushrooms. Make sure you have enough garlic/mushrooms for all chicken breasts - Let the garlic and mushrooms cook for about 5 minutes and then place the chicken breasts on top of the garlic and mushrooms. Let them brown (approx. 4-5 minutes) and turn to other side. Take the garlic/mushrooms that have been cooking and place them on top of the chicken breasts and let this finish cooking throughly.
Yellow squash/zucchini:
2 yellow squash washed and sliced
1 zucchini washed and sliced
1 small onion thin sliced
olive oil and 1 tsp. butter (or just olive oil)
Lawry's, garlic pepper, granulated garlic and black pepper
Heat the olive oil, sprinkle a little Lawry's granulated garlic, garlic pepper & pepper in the olive oil (butter); place the squash/zucchini in the skillet, seasoned with Lawry's and black pepper. Place the onion slices on top of this and place a lid on the skillet and let this simmer until the squash is tender.
Egg Noodles (only if you eat pastas - be careful with the carbs):
Cook the egg noodles (broad egg noodes) according to package directions
drain and rinse the noodles and put them back in the pan. Add skim milk (about 1/3 cup) a tsp. or tbsp. of butter or margarine, salt, pepper to taste. Stir this until it is a little thickened (sort of like an alfredo sauce).

Dinner is home made pinto beans with smoked turkey and onions in the crockpot. I hope I can do ok with portion sizes.
I hear some people eat 5 oz of meat a day. Is that supposed to be what we have cause I know I can eat more meat than that throughout the day.
How much meat should we be having?
Keep up posting this. It helps sooooo much.
