This was dinner tonight. So good. We made Feta-Topped Chicken (recipe here via Fat Fighter TV) and had some zucchini on the side. I’m glad we already had everything we needed to make it. It was easy, fast, and delicious.
6 billion thumbs up from the wife and I for this meal.

There shouldn’t [...]

Everybody Is an Expert, Right?
Posted on April 6, 2009 - Filed Under Nutrition | View Comments
Seems everybody these days is a nutrition/health/fitness expert. Everyone has their “miracle” whatever-plan that will do such and such and cure whatever you have. “Do this, do that” or “don’t do this” or “don’t do that” is what we read/see/hear everyday about being healthier.
