Recipe of the Week:
* One pot chicken

Hi!

We had another pizza night last night. It's no problem for the waistline since I started making my own - plain crust, good homemade tomato sauce, sprinkling of cheese and chopped cooked chicken - one generous slice with a salad and fruit salad to follow. Delicious and nutritious!

How come the ones you order from the take-away are always dripping with grease like they were deep fried? You can just see the calories migrating to your wobbly bits.

Anyway why not try making your own? Pounding the pizza dough is great exercise and you can take all your frustrations out as you knock the pizza base into shape.

Have a great week

Love

Feature Article : You deserve a treat

We often have more food than is good for us because we feel we deserve it after a bad day, a task well done, a week (or day or hour) of doing well with our diet, a trip to the gym ... You name it, we find a hundred ways to treat ourselves with extra food.

But is that kind of treat really what you deserve?

Surely you deserve to treat yourself to the very best healthy food, to nourish your body and to take the best possible care of yourself?

You deserve to be slim, toned and fit - you don't deserve wobbly thighs, clogged arteries, high blood pressure and diabetes.

So what kind of treats do you really deserve?

  • If you're not hungry, tell yourself you'll wait until you are. Your body deserves to be fed only when it needs food.
  • If you find you are hungry, reach for the apple, the grapes, the handful of nuts and raisins. Your body deserves that kind of treat so much more than the chocolate bar and chips.
  • If you're thirsty reach for a glass of cool, refreshing water with a slice of lemon. Doesn't your body deserve that more than the coffee or cola that will hype you up and drain you out?
  • If you haven't moved all day treat your body to a walk, a cycle, a swim, a stretch or a dance
  • And if you're tired (and reading this too late in the evening) your body deserves refreshing sleep and not another two hours at your computer!

Start looking at the whole concept of a treat a little differently.

Sometimes it's just how you describe something that counts. If you say to yourself "I'm going to treat my body to climbing the stairs" or "I'm going to treat myself to a really crunchy apple" you feel much more positive about selecting the real treats for your body over junk food and being lazy.

Make the things you choose to eat and do for a treat something your body would choose too (at least most of the time) and feel the new you emerging treat by treat!

Recipe of the week : One-pot chicken

Cut down on the washing up!

310 calories a serving.

Serves 4

1 tablespoon olive oil
400g (14oz) chicken breast fillets without skin, chopped
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
half teaspoon dried thyme
450g (1lb) small new potatoes, scrubbed and halved if necessary
200ml (1/3 pint) chicken stock (broth)
150ml (1/4 pint) dry white wine
125g (4oz) frozen peas

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and gently fry the garlic, onion and chicken for 5 minutes, stirring frequently and adding a little water if the pan becomes too dry to prevent sticking. Add the stock, wine, thyme and potatoes, bring to the boil and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Add the peas, bring back to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
