What's for dinner??

So in my quest to become healthy yet again, I have modified mine and my family’s diet yet again. During my pregnancy I ate and allowed them to eat whatever we wanted. But that fun and games are over, time for mama to lose the weight and for the family to eat healthy again.

Which let me be the first to say isn’t an easy task, My husband will eat just about anything I cook him, Liljana on the other hand is just about as picky as I am when it comes to food.  I have never been a fan of onions, green peppers, tomatoes and such. So eating healthy isn’t that easy when everything requires eating a multiple number of fruits and veggies.

 But I will force myself to eat healthy and I will attempt to follow the food pyramid to a T. So for my first entry regarding the healthy eating aspect of my life here is the recipe as follows.

Avocado and Cilantro Chicken 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of basil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I used 2 )
1 avocado, sliced into thin slices
Few sprigs cilantro
Monterey jack cheese, sliced thin (I buy this brick)

Combine the olive oil, lime juice and spices. Marinate the chicken breasts at least 20 minutes.

Broil chicken until done, turning once. Remove from oven and top with a few leaves of cilantro, avocado and cheese. Return to oven and broil until cheese melts. (You may also grill the chicken)
