Paprika Chicken a New Way


I marinated my chicken pieces in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice and plenty of Hungarian paprika, then sprinkled it with black pepper. I baked it with the lid on first, then took it off to let the juices concentrate. The chicken came out flavorful and moist and stayed that way through three days of leftovers. Score!

Weekly Prep - Zucchini Frittata


Got 20 minutes? Then you have breakfast for four days. I made a frittata by sauteeing onions, baby broccoli and a ton of sweet tender baby zucchini, then adding my lightly beaten eggs, topped with raw baby Swiss cheese. This frittata is seasoned mainly with Spice World's Mexican Seasoning, plus a bit of chili powder and black pepper. I simply cooked this one covered on the stovetop.

Roasted Veggies with Rosemary


I made a mix of zucchini, brussels sprouts and beets and added a ton of fresh rosemary. I used olive oil and black pepper, then roasted until soft. Note: seek out smaller beets. If not, peel the big ones. The peels on the small ones are tender and yummy to me, but the bigger beets' peels are thick and fibrous.

Dangerous Supplements

Be careful and check your supplements at one of the many websites that test them.
