I eat most of my meals at home. This is because I have high
cholesterol and am trying to control the problem with a healthy diet and
exercise. The cholesterol is a family thing. My two female first cousins are
slender and also watch their weight because they have the same problem.
Our dinners often consist of fish as a main course with
either a salad or vegetables. We also eat a lot of chicken. Here’s a typical
dinner at our house which I will call Chicken to Die for Made Easy.
Chicken to Die for Made Easy
Start with a one pound package of thin sliced chicken
breasts
Shake ground ginger lightly over chicken
Do the same with ground cilantro
Bake in an open pan for approximately 20 minutes
Turn chicken over, draining any fat
Shake a little more ginger and cilantro over the chicken
(optional) cut up some mushrooms and arrange in baking pan
Bake in oven for 20 more minutes
For more flavorful taste, after ten minutes, pour some
cranberry and/or orange juice over the chicken and then allow to bake for the remaining
ten minutes.
Serve with baked potatoes and steamed vegetables and/or
salad. My preference is for small, red potatoes or Idahoes.
Note: I use nonfat yogurt on the baked potatoes since it’s
healthier than sour cream or butter. I don’t use salt but my husband adds
pepper for himself.
I realize this may seem like a bland meal for some people,
but it works well for us. And there’s never any heartburn.
For dessert, I serve grapefruit, grapes, pineapple,
watermelon—whatever healthy fruits are in season.
