b_reed23 · 08-13-2008, 11:21 PM

you may have posted this already...but what kind of split are you doing?

katt · 08-14-2008, 09:08 AM

Hi!! great job with the food choices...

I need to get diligent and start posting again..

Pylon · 08-16-2008, 12:29 PM

B -Working the heavy duty HIT program again. Hey, we all have our comfort zones, right?

K - Thanks. The rest of the week went downhill. That will happen when you are locked in a conference room at a hotel and are arguing about a labor contract for 3 days.

BUT...have recovered with the weekend. Made a chicken and blueberry pasta salad for lunch (very tasty!) following a 5.5 mile bike ride. Whipping up some veg lasagna tonight. Good times....

Fitgirl70 · 08-19-2008, 09:36 AM

Py!

Yeah....what is UP wit dat cook book....a preggo has to eat ya know?

Pylon · 08-19-2008, 10:26 PM

OK, ok. Try this one...

1 pound chicken breasts
8 ounces whole-wheat pasta (rotini or similar)
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, crushed or diced
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon thyme
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Poach chicken. Water is ok, veg broth is better. Shred and chop.
2. Cook pasta al dente and drain.
3. Heat oil with garlic 2-5 minutes until garlic is browned (not black). Garlic burns quick, so use medium heat. Add broth, feta and lime juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the feta begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Add the chicken to the bowl with the pasta. Add the dressing, blueberries, thyme, lime zest and salt and toss until combined.

I think that's about 6 servings. It came from Eatingwell.com, with some minor adjustments.

Brutus_G · 08-20-2008, 08:44 PM

Well, off the top of my head, I really like to poach chicken breasts in red enchilada sauce (in the Mexican aisle of your local mega-mart, about a buck a can). I'd probably sauce some peppers, garlic, onion (if you swing that way, which I don't), and celery in a little oil, shred the chicken, add to the veg mix, then serve over brown rice.

How's that?

Pylon · 08-21-2008, 08:40 AM

BTW, I'm in Minneapolis right now, getting ready to head to the airport to go home. I did a mile on the treadmill last night, just to loosen up. Then did a 5K this morning, finished at 44:55. Not a great time, but at least I know I can get through it.

My 5K is scheduled for Sept 6th. Already registered and everything. I'm going to focus on getting that time down between now and then.

Ooh, and mushrooms. I'd add mushrooms too. And some really ripe tomatoes, if you can get your hands on them. Heck, add some zucchini and eggplant, you've got South of the Border chicken ratatouille. Hang on, I need to write this down...

Ok, I made this tonight, minus the mushrooms. I grilled eggplant, red peppers, zucchini and tomatoes (after tossing in olive oil, salt and pepper), served over brown rice, topped with chicken poached in the enchilada sauce. Pretty good. Needs a little extra to be really good, I think. Maybe a splash of balsamic vinegar on the veggies, a little more ench sauce over the rice, even some hot sauce to really pull it together. But overall not bad.

I wish i was rich and could hire out your cooking services.

Trust me, I ain't worth it.

Pylon · 08-24-2008, 02:33 PM

One last note on that dish. The leftovers make great burritos. Mix some together, heat, serve in a warm tortilla. I added some chili lime hot sauce. It really did the trick.

Pylon · 08-25-2008, 12:34 PM

Did another 5K run today. Finished at 45:52, I think. A tad slower, but on a treadmill, so not a lot of variation in the speed. That's ok. My main goal is just to finish the thing, which I am feeling good about right now. We'll worry about speed later.
