Roasted "Crockpot" Chicken

Hello!! Wow, what a full day. Busy day at the office, wonderful appointments. The body is so amazing cause when we give it what it needs it responds and people are amazed at how they feel!!!

So sorry I didn't blog last night. I had the conference call and shared what we had for dinner then after the call went right to bed so you will get both days today.

Yesterday morning for breakfast I had two eggs with sauteed vegetables. Had a very small lunch maybe 4 oz. of yogurt and blueberries, and some crispy almonds. I ordered meet from Walnut Creek farms but the distributer JB  was not able to deliver it till today and we were dying for beef so I stopped at Target and bought Maverick Organic ground beef. It is ok, not like good grass fed beef, but it convenient in a pinch. So we had burgers, brussell sprouts and lemony Parmesan broccoli. I usually put bread crumbs in my burgers but I didn't since we are not eating grains, so I just put 1 egg, a little water, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley. I steamed the brussell sprouts then drained and put real salt and butter on them. The lemony parm broccoli was amazing. Melt 2 T butter in large skillet with 2 cloves of fresh minced garlic, and 1/4 t of red pepper flakes. Stir a couple minutes at broccoli florets (I also cut up the stem in small pieces). Add 1/4 cup water 2 T lemon juice and 2 t. lemon zest, toss and cover with lid and simmer for about 10 minutes or until you like it. Add a little Real salt and serve. It was really yummy. We topped the burger with goat  cheddar. Oh also, when serving the broccoli add to taste grated cheese. Instead of parmesan, I always and have for years use Picerino Romano. Picerino Romano is made from sheeps milk and is not pasteurized so it is a perfect choice and is much healthier and tastier than parmasan.

Today for breakfast I had two eggs over easy with 1/4 avocado. That is probably my favorite breakfast ever!! Today was so busy I think I missed lunch but had a wonderful dinner. This morning before I left for work I put a thawed roasting chicken in the crock pot. Unfortunately, the chicken was so big I couldn't include very many vegetables, so I just put a few stalks of celery, and an onion with chicken seasoning that I get from OKC Organics. I also put about a cup of water and about a 1/2 of white wine.

Jessica came over early before I came home and started the vegetables. Sauteed carrots and asparagus. It was a very yummy dinner. After dinner I de-boned the chicken, stored the left over chicken in the frig. and put all the bones, fat, juice, left over vegi's in a stock pot along with some frozen chicken feet added water brought it to a boil and now it is simmering on the stove over night. I will have nice chicken broth made to show the class on Friday.

It was exciting to here the ladies on the call last night ask wonderful questions. I'm really proud of all of you to making a difference in your life towards vibrant health. God Bless, Michele
