Just checking in – still going strong on program and even taking all the herbs my herbalist has me on as well…I’ll blog about that later (note to self: write blog about crazy herbalist)

The Good: Been on program 100%

The Bad: Still fat

The Ugly: Still having problems fitting into my fat clothes.
I had a yummy dinner last night that I had forgotten about until I was looking in the freezer for dinner ideas and stumbled across some ground chicken and remembered my love for Asian Lettuce Cups.

  Asian Lettuce Cups

Ingredients:

5-8 oz ground chicken

2 c diced veggies (I use a mix of zucchini, peppers, onions, broccoli, & celery)

butter/bib/boston lettuce leaves (or can use romaine leaves)

bean sprouts to garnish

Sauce Ingredients:

1/2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce

1/2 tbsp olive oil

2 -3 drops sesame oil

ginger/garlic/red pepper flakes/splenda to taste

Directions:

Saute up diced veggies and remove from saute pan.

Brown ground chicken (season with sea salt & pepper)

While cooking the meat & veggies, combine all sauce ingredients

Put sauteed veggies back into pan, mix and reheat.

Push meat and veggie mixture to side and create space in the middle to pour sauce, let it heat up in the middle until it starts bubbling and then combine with meat and veggie mixture

Serve in lettuce cups with some bean sprouts and sesame seeds (if you want)
