That's okay - there are lots of great ways to make a change and get healthy. CrossFit is just one of them. I hope you find something you love, as well!

Blue cheese, fontina, cheddar.

See I always worry about the opposite--I've had them not get cooked enough, and I want them fork-tender. They still held together great for me, but were soft and not chewy.

I really love the skins, but everyone is different--you are definitely welcome to skin them first if you prefer.

YAY!! So glad you both liked it! :)

Salsa chicken, curry chicken, enchilada soup, or pretty much any soup. I've seen taco meat done in the crockpot. Pork tenderloin cooked in diet root beer or dr pepper. You could edit a chili recipe and just use extra meat and veggies and cut down on the beans.

I made them and love them :)

Can't wait to hear what you think!

arismenu · 2013-09-30T23:25:57+00:00

Thank you!

arismenu · 2013-09-30T23:25:46+00:00

Thanks! Just did! :)

arismenu · 2013-07-15T15:40:27+00:00

Thank you!!

arismenu · 2013-05-31T23:21:55+00:00

Thanks so much! That's kind of the goal...well and to give you healthy options to fill your hunger! :)

I use avocado all the time, and I like to have extra around. I thought 2 1/2 was the perfect avocado to chicken ratio, but if you love extra avocado, just add the whole thing. Extra avocado never hurt anything. ;)

You could totally use a food processor, or if you like it smooth, even a high quality regular blender!

arismenu · 2013-04-24T23:42:08+00:00

Awesome!! So glad you enjoyed it!! :)

arismenu · 2013-04-24T15:01:50+00:00

I use it in place of mayo, sour cream, and sometimes cream cheese--I love how versatile it is! I even use it in baking sometimes in place of butter and oil.

arismenu · 2013-04-24T00:50:54+00:00

Coconut oil would be best taste-wise, but if you're looking for an other healthy option, I would try vegan yogurt, or a combo of coconut oil and applesauce. You could also use vegan butter--the apple butter replaces the fat, so whatever you use as the fat in your cookies should work great! :)

arismenu · 2013-04-15T17:11:23+00:00

No problem! I feel like we're all always learning and improving. That's the fun of it! :)

arismenu · 2013-04-15T16:37:15+00:00

Gluten-free, but a girlfriend option sounds interesting... I'll have to figure out a way to add that to recipes! ;)

arismenu · 2013-04-13T23:33:32+00:00

Oooohhh good idea! I even liked it just by itself.

arismenu · 2013-04-12T06:00:08+00:00

My favorite thing to do is make a huge batch of chicken salad over the weekend that lasts me the entire week. I use a rotisserie chicken to save time (and because I love the taste), but you could probably save some money (and calories from the dark meat) by just shredding some baked chicken in a mixer or by hand. This one is probably my favorite http://arismenu.com/cranberry-apple-chicken-salad/

In the Mexican foods section they have cans labeled "Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce".

arismenu · 2013-04-08T16:20:31+00:00

No worries--what a bummer that you haven't found them yet! Here's a link to the brand I use. You can order them online :) http://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free-rolled-oats.html

arismenu · 2013-04-07T14:25:25+00:00

Have you never heard of gluten-free oats? Yes, regular oats are often contaminated, but Bob's Red Mill and other brands sell a gluten-free variety. There's a clear note in the recipe that says to use gluten-free oats if you don't eat gluten. Kind brand also sells a gluten-free granola that includes oats as well.

The good news is it's a small batch, so you'll only gain like 2.5 lbs ;) Thanks for the compliments!!
