Here Are Your Ingredients:

4 Chicken Breast
1 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 Red Onion
4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
4 Wheat Hoagie Buns
4 Tablespoons Pepper Jack Cheese

1 Jalapeño

Cut up chicken breasts into strips. Dice or slice depending on what you prefer veggies. Heat medium pan with olive oil over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 10 minutes until chicken is white all over. Place veggies in pan and cook until water(from chicken breast) and oil is mostly dissolved for around 10 additional minutes. While this is cooking place buns in oven pre heated to 350 degrees to toast about 5 minutes. When veggies are tender and moisture is dissolved place mixture on buns and sprinkle one tablespoon of cheese on each sandwich. Place in oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let cool for 5 minutes. If you wish for less points and carbs you can always do away with the bun. If you choose to it is only 6 points and 4.5 carbs.

Bon ABpetit!

Today's Fitness

Sorry I have not been posting as many fitness posts as I should be folks I will work on it! Today's fitness is CARDIO!!

Think to yourself where the most amount of stairs are located in your city (this is beautiful Salt Lake City). Run to the stair destination if possible. The stairs I did were about 1.5 miles away from my work. Run or lunge up and down the stairs for 30 minutes, then run or jog back.

Have fun it's hot out there!



Weight Watchers

Today I wanted to write a very special article about Weight Watchers. I hope none of you find this post too spammy that is not my intention - my intention is to help my readers lose weight and be confident in their beautiful skin! As many of you have noticed I make sure to post the Weight watchers points on almost all of my recipes. Many of you have tried weight watchers or are doing so still today. I know that it works for many of you - fill us in on your story! I have seen many of my friends and family (love you guys) use this method and have succeeded. I have been asked if I personally do weight watchers and I have to admit I don't. I started adding the points to help out my readers - though I do thing it is a great program!


A friend and follower of mine Linda Beers has had quite a journey to lose weight and now she is 70 pounds lighter thanks to Weight Watchers! She is an inspiring friend of mine and I look up to her very much thank you for your positive attitude! Keep up the good work! Thank you Linda!

Last week while in the waiting room for my husbands surgery to be complete I was watching Dr. Oz he had special guest Jennifer Hudson (doesn't she look great?!) she opened up about her weight-loss journey. She spoke of how she lost her weight with watchers and kept it off she says it really works! For any of you having issues losing weight I highly recommend it to all of my friends out there! 

As you have heard me remind you cuties for the last 6 days SlimKicker is giving away a food scale tomorrow - Wednesday on my blog and I know this would help a lot of you achieve your goals easier. Don't forget to leave your comment to win - only 1 day left!!

Keep up the healthy eating and lifestyle and I can promise all of you this WILL pay off!
