Chicken Athena


Chicken Athena

6 (6-oz) boneless skinless chicken breast halves or boneless skinless chicken thighs
1-1/2 cups chopped onion
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
2 T lemon juice
1 T balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, pressed
½ t. salt

Bandsters—whirl the meat, onion, tomatoes, and olives in the food processor before putting this in the crock-pot. You’re looking for small bits of meat like ground beef.

Put everything in the crock-pot. Cover and cook on Low 4-6 hours. Six servings.
You may substitute grape tomatoes in place of the dried tomatoes, but you will lose some flavor. For those with gluten sensitivity, make sure you use gluten-free tomatoes, olives, and vinegar.

Low Carb serving suggestion—Stir-fry zucchini squash medallions. Top with a sprinkle of feta cheese.

For non-bandsters, serve with steamed new potatoes or baby potatoes. Rice also works.

Our Spices Gifts & Accessories Recipes Blog Events Our Stores St. Patrick's Day the Right Way. For  real home made brined corned beef, you need to get started soon, as you need around two weeks for the brining process.

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&
