Recipe: Beef Bourguignonne


I did not flour the cubes, nor fry ahead. Sorry, I just dumped everything in the crock pot and turned it on.
HOWEVER, do not cook this more than 8 hours. It dries out.

Crock Phillippine Chicken PLUS Chicken Stir Fry

Image
Boy do I love my crock pot, especially for busy days! You will have leftovers from this recipe, so buy a bag of stir fry veggies to have in a couple of days. Don't you just love two meals in one? Notes-- I buy the big jar of already minced garlic. It's a real time-saver! One-half teaspoon equals a clove of garlic done the hard way. Oh, and you are using those cool crock pot liners, right? Ingredients; 6 (or more) chicken thighs 1 small sweet onion, sliced 8 cloves garlic, pressed 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce 1/2 cup white vinegar Remove the skins from the chicken. Place the chicken in the crock pot. In a bowl, combine the onion, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. Pour it over the chicken. Cover and cook on Low for 6-8 hours. Remove the bones, let them cool, and toss them in the trash. You can serve the chicken over rice for those non-dieters. Save the leftover chicken and sauce in the fridge for the stir-fry in a couple of days. 220 calories, 7g carbs. The original version of thi...

The Legend of No Desserts in One-der-Land

Once there was a woman named Alice who fell down a spiraling hole of guilt and shame while following an elusive White Rabbit of Beauty. She discovered a magical place called One-der-land, though at first it seemed a place of madness and horror. I'll occasionally recount (not in chronological order because this is a place of madness, after all, at least to Alice) some of her adventures. Alice landed at the bottom of the Shame Spiral in tears, her body shattered by so many years of abuse, both from within Alice herself and from others, who felt she didn't deserve anything. She wondered if she'd ever be able to get up, but she managed to heave herself erect and walk, still hoping for another glimpse of the beautiful White Rabbit. Alice had to rest often, and had trouble breathing, but the path seemed familiar somehow, as if she'd traveled upon it or at least seen it many times. Her feet swelled, her knees hurt, and upon occasion she considered just lying down at the side...

My Doc has a Spiffy New Office!

I'll repeat this on LapBandTalk.com, but I'm guessing my bariatric surgeon, Dr. Michael Baptista, is getting more and more successful. He's moved from his partnership with another doctor and into his own spiffy new office MUCH more conveniently located for me, in Arlington right off 9A and Monument in the Brooks Rehab Building. Now, I'm not saying his former partner was a bad doctor-- not with that many awards-- but I didn't like the other doctor and that's the honest truth. I'm allowed my opinions, and my two experiences with the former partner were unpleasant. Now I feel much freer to help Dr. Baptista with his newer patients! I'm pleased to say Dr. Baptista asked me to start attending the monthly support group so I can provide cheerfulness and inspiration to a group that has recently begun to focus on negativity in his opinion. One subject he mentioned specifically I could help with was the low carb diet. Many have difficulty in going beyond what...
