It starts!

I am starting a new interval training program this week.  I managed to do the first in the series this morning and it totally kicked my bootox! The part I did like was just when I thought I was going to die....It was OVER! OK. I loved that part. Yes, you heard me when it was over. HAHAHAHA!  It became painfully and vividly aware to me that I am way out of shape! Just my size alone prevented me from doing some of the exercises completely correct but ya know what?? I still did it and I finished.  I am going to do it again on Wed and I am going to keep doing it until it becomes easier. (BTW it is a 3 day a week program. MWF) I intend on doing my deep breathing exercises every day and will stick to my original plan for my food intake. I wanted to take care of this problem before the engagement of the most cute daughter and now I do even more.  Talk about Motivation!  Who wants to be immortalized for the generations like I am now?   Wish me luck! I am going to need it!

Copycat Stouffers Grandma's Chicken and Rice

Indulge in a homemade masterpiece that outshines the frozen aisle. Tender chicken breast, perfectly seasoned and seared to lock in juices, combined with fluffy rice, all enveloped in a rich, creamy semi-homemade sauce. Each bite is a symphony of flavors dancing on your taste buds. This dish is comfort food at its finest, reminiscent of Grandma's kitchen. Say goodbye to the freezer section; this homemade version of Stouffer's Grandma's Chicken and Rice is a culinary triumph you'll crave time and time again!  PS this recipe makes a lot! You can get an 8x8 and a 9x13 out of it. It would be perfect to take the extra to a friend in need or to freeze for later.
