Recipes

Okay, I know this kind of thing has been done before, but I figure I'd follow the blogging masses and list a recipes tab for anyone that wants to take advantage. We all need help with food, right?

If you send me your recipes and any accompanying photos , I will be sure to list them here and post your name and blog/website giving you credit.

Also, if you try a recipe, let me know how it tastes in the comments section, what you may have changed, or anything else that you think might be helpful.

Thanks for your submissions, and thanks for helping to keep The Roly Poly Boy and others healthy!



Greek Yogurt Dressing:

• Juice of 1 lemon (fresh is better than concentrated juice)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (fat free or not as you like)
• 1 small-medium clove garlic, minced or if desired finely chopped into a paste
• 1/4 cup EV Olive Oil
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Now this is the recipe as written and given to me. I usually never follow a recipe to the letter. For this one I found the 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil to be a bit much so I use half that. Sometimes I squirt in a bit of brown or yellow mustard for added flavor or color. I've used both olive and sesame oil in the same batch, if you know sesame oil it has a bold flavor so use just a bit in place of some of the olive oil.

So this recipe really gives you a base to work from and play with.

Parmesan Mushroom Chicken

• 2 pounds chicken breast
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 3 tbs parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 3 tbs minced garlic

It was originally 3 Tbs red pepper flakes, then 1 Tbs, but both were too spicy for my wife to eat. So next time, I'll be making it with 1 tsp and see how spicy that is for her.

• Slice chicken into cubes.
• Sautee in pan with olive oil until no longer pink.
• Drain any excess liquid.
• Add garlic and toss for 1 minute.
• Add Mushrooms and pepper flakes to pan and sautee until the mushrooms are cooked to your liking.
• Remove from the heat and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over and serve.
