gardening and Cilantro lime chicken (yum)

Well, summer is finally here. The rain has stopped for a short time and the heat is coming in quickly but I was able to get my plants in the garden.  Now it is  just a waiting game for the delicious produce to grow. With all the rain we have had lately we haven’t been able to cook on the grill as much as we would like. I did however try a new recipe in the crock-pot that was D…delicious. It was Cilantro Lime Chicken.  If you do not care much for cilantro you may want to pass this one up. I for one love the taste of it and thought it went well with the chicken and lime. I included the recipe below.

With the warmer weather coming I have noticed I am not getting enough water in each day. As the temperature rises it is even more important to drink plenty of water to keep us hydrated and feeling our best. Thirst can sometimes masquerade as hunger and when on a journey which includes weight-loss I need to remember to drink all of my water. I am happy to report I did lose a pound this past week but do feel the lack of water affected my overall weight loss.

The plan for this week is to make sure I get the correct amount of water in and then some. I am curious as to how this will factor in with the weight loss next week. I will keep you posted. :)
​
I hope you will try the recipe and let me know what you think of it.

Cilantro Lime Chicken

Ingredients
  • 6 pounds chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced (we like lots—you can use less if you prefer)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4 Tablespoons lime juice (we use about 3 limes)
  • 2 Tablespoons lime zest (shred the outside of a clean, fresh lime)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 cups fresh cilantro leaves (remove leaves from stems)
  • 1 frozen bag of peppers/onion mix
 
I put all of the ingredients in my crock pot and turned it on low to cook for the afternoon.
