Broccoli, rice and chicken

Found a phone app that I just love! It's called the whole foods app. You can put in items that you have to cook with, pick things you want to avoid, and the. It will spit out recipes for you! With pictures!! Very important to me! U like to see what my food is going to look like, or rather what it should like like!
Last might I made this yummy dish and it was loved by everyone!!
Simmer 1/2 cup water in deep skillet
Add one chipped onion and two cloves if garlic
Cook until soft and then add bite size pieces of chicken (I used 1 pack of boneless skinless chicken tenders
Also add 3 cups low sodium veg stock
1 cup brown rice
Simmer covered for about 20-30 min, add in bite size prices of broccoli, fresh thyme and pepper to taste and continue to simmer until broccoli is soft and liquid is gone.
Fluff and serve!

First attempt granola bars

These came our pretty good, modifying a recipe that was posted on Facebook from Fit and Healthy with Debbie Reichert.
I used 2 cups oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup dark chic chips
1/2 cup honey
1 egg beaten
2 tsp vanilla
3/4 Tsp salt

Mixed dry then wet then together, pressed into a 9x13 lightly greased (with olive oil) pan.
Baked in pre heated oven on 350 for 20 minutes.
Kids said they were really good! I would like them to be a bit crunchier, but will work on that!

Eating healthy while out and about!

Went to breakfast with the kids this morning and had a great healthy meal for under 7.00! Veggie omelet and fruit. 320 calories! It was so large u could only eat half! Look at the menu, make changes if you need too! Most places will steam veggies, replace side with healthier ones too!
