Quesadillas! Cheese chili powder salt and pepper in whole wheat totillas. You can add either spinach, chicken, shrimp or whatever you want. serve with avocado, salsa, etc...

another fish taco recipe that is so easy is Trader Joes fish sticks, broccoli slaw and cilantro salad dressing served in their whole wheat low carb wraps. So good.

PP - I think you mean Jim Leahy's bread recipe. The no-knead one. (Patrick Leahy is the senator from Vermont, although for all I know he may have a great recipe as well!) Here's one link to the Jim Leahy recipe.

ok this sounds silly but I read about a simple Pace picante sauce chicken recipe yesterday on another board, we had a few chicken breasts I'd cooked the night before so I made the Pace recipe last night..maybe I was just really hungry, but thought it was so tasty I wanted to lick the plate, lol. It's super easy - just:

1 1/2 cups Pace picante sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp dijon mustard

mix and pour over 4 chicken breasts & bake at 400 for 20 min

I had chicken already cooked so I just warmed up the sauce and served it over chicken & rice. DH/kids loved it.

buy chicken breasts

shredded chicken. You can add it to anything, eat it plain, etc.


good idea!!!


GREAT idea - but is the chicken still tasty without the "pan sear" on i?

Our recent favorite is Tomato Soup (Michael Chiarello's recipe) and homemade no-knead bread (patrick Leahy's recipe)

Tomato soup is essentially
1. drain a can of diced tomatoes, reserve liquid. Roast tomatoes on a cookie sheet with olive oil for 10-15 minutes
2. in the mean time, saute 1 onion, 1 carrot and 1 chopped celery stalk in olive oil until soft - 10 minutes
3. put roasted tomatoes, reserve liquid and one cup chicken broth, 1 bay leaf, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper in pot and simmer for 20 minutes til carrots are softr
4. immersion blend it if you want.
5. add 1/4 cup heavy cream and basil if you want. the cream makes it like Cosi's tomato bisque and SO GOOD.

Patrick Leahy's recipe (google it) just means you take five minutes the day before to mix ingredients. Then i make dinner roll size breads, i don't bake it in the pot.

I make a double portion of the soup recipe and my entire family loves it. and it fills us up.
