AND IM BACK ....... Been a crazy couple of months. Changed jobs - had a beautiful baby girl grandaughter come into our lives on Aug 12th and spent LOTS of time on the boat this summer.

Gallbladder Update - I have had my surgical consult and have been told that if I have not heard from the surgeon with a date by mid October to call the office. I am expecting it to be late November or December.

So until then - My Fat free Adventure continues.

The upside is I have lost 35 lbs - the downside - I miss Thai, mexican, jerk, and pretty much anything spicy.
I am starting a list of food I want when I get this darn thing out.

#1 - Fish and Chips
#2 - Fajitas
#3 - Thai Green curry

So tonight's dinner is Low fat chicken strips with Oven fries.  - Do fries first and get into the oven - the chicken strips can follow in 10 minutes -

Chicken Strips. - serves 4

In 3 separate bowls -
#1 - 1 C flour - season with salt and pepper
#2 - 1 egg plus 2T cold water - beat till well blended 
#3 - breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper

Cut 4 chicken breasts into 4 strips each. Dip in flour, then egg then breadcrumbs. Place on a parchment paper lined pan and bake at 450F for 20-30 min or until done. 

Oven Fries - serves 4

Peel and cut 4 russet potatoes into 4 lengthwise slices and then cut each slice into 4 - place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle 2 TBSP of olive oil over the top and toss well. 
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 30-40 min or until done. 

My family likes to eat these with honey mustard or ketchup. 

have fun and enjoy!
