So day 13. Can you believe it's been 2 weeks already? Today was Kenpo and makeup day for Ab Ripper. On both accounts not a bad workout at all. I hate abs but love the results. Every time I do them I make a little more progress. A few more reps, a little bit longer on the mason twists. And I notice the improvement to other workouts too. Balance is even getting better.
All I can say about Kenpo is I love it.
Food -
Breakfast - 1 cup Kashie oat flakes with blueberries and orange juice. Gasp! No protein drink.
Snack - No snack. It was a late morning and a late lunch
Lunch - salad and cottage cheese (1/2 cup)
Snack - Blueberry protein slushy
Dinner - Cajun Garlic Spinach Chicken w/egg noodles in a garlic white sauce and salad.
Ok let me give you the recipe because it was my concoction.
3 chicken breasts - cubed.
1/2 bag of whole spinach - loosely chopped
4 cloves of fresh garlic (or more if you really like garlic chicken) - chopped
Cajun seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil.
1/2 bag of egg noodles
1/2 can of low salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup of 2% milk
2 - 3 tablespoons minced garlic.
Salt and pepper
Serves 4 - Serving size -- 1 cup egg noodles and 1 1/2 cup of chicken (about 6oz)
While the egg noodles are cooking -
Put the cubed chicken in a large skillet. Add olive oil and fresh chopped garlic. Cook chicken over medium high heat stirring occasionally. When almost done add Cajun seasoning (to taste) and chopped spinach. Continue cooking over medium heat stirring occasionally.
White sauce - mix flour and milk in a small sauce pan. Stir constantly over high heat until it starts to steam. Add chicken broth stirring constantly. Once it starts to boil add minced garlic. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Drain the egg noodles but do not rinse. Place them back in the pan and pour the white sauce over them. Mix the noodles around until the sauce thickens (about 3 minutes).
Serve as a side or put the chicken over the top.
PS - I think I lost my daughter in the whole journey thing. Hope she has a compass.
