To Juice or Not to Juice

I am 13 lbs down on my juice adventure- That was after 5 days of juice fasting- and 2 weeks of juicing for breakfast so far. My migraines have significantly improved- and over all I feel MUCH MUCH BETTER! My goal is an 80 lb loss- with change in diet- 2 juice fasting days a week and exercise.

Also if you are interested in what started me on this journey it was Jenni Pearson with her tremendous weight loss, Jerri Moulder, and this video:

I strongly suggest watching it.

So when your husband and you are fighting over who gets to scrape the bottom of the pan for the last bite: Then it becomes something you should blog about- 

My version of Chicken Divan

Ingredients

• 1 head of Broccoli (fresh)
• 3 Chicken breast filleted in half
• 1 condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 2 condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 1/2 cup lowfat mayo
• 1 cup grated mild Cheddar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Few dashes of garlic powder, and onion powder
• Salt and pepper
• 3 -4 sprays of I can't believe its not butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, Cheddar, lemon juice, paprika, granulated garlic, and onion powder,  salt and pepper, to taste, and butter. Whisk together to make a sauce. Pour the sauce over the broccoli and chicken. Mix well with a spatula.
Place chicken into an 11 by 7-inch casserole dish or 2 (9-inch) square disposable aluminum foil pans. Cover with mixture - making sure chicken is coated on both sides. Pat down evenly and smooth with a spatula. Cook for 20 mins. COVERED.
Add fresh chopped broccoli. (flip chicken) And mix broccoli into the sauce. Return to oven and cook for another 15. UNCOVERED. (At this point you can also add extra cheese to the top and/or homemade breadcrumbs)

Serve over brown rice. Or white rice, noodles, and biscuits!

Homemade bread crumbs

• 5-6 slices of stale bread
• Olive oil
• Granulated garlic
• Cayenne
•  Onion Powder

Tear bread into thumb sized sections. Drizzle olive oil over top. Sprinkle Seasoning on top (Easy on the Cayenne) Mix. Broil until lightly browned on the outside.

Great way to fit those veggies in for your picky eaters!!
