Here's a great recipe for a Thai-style curry chicken that's rich in protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and healthy carbs! Give it a shot and let me know what you think! What ya need: 1 chicken breast, 6 ounces, or so 1 cup of light coconut milk (if you can't find light, regular works too) 1 cup of reduced sodium chicken stock 1/2 cup of chopped broccoli 1/2 cup of cubed sweet potato 1/4 cup of chopped carrots 1/4 cup of raisins 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 medium zucchini, finely choped 1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped  1 tablespoon of olive oil 1 tablespoon of curry powder 5 teaspoons of finely sliced garlic 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper The zest of 1/2 of 1 lime Ok, so: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot.

So, I received a complimentary trial of SpeedStick GEAR from Influenster last week. As agreed upon, I gave it a shot. I'm on my fifth day of use now, and I'm not very impressed. The scent is not bad at all, but it is quite strong, but I think it's by design. Instead of a controlled or layered scent release, SpeedStick GEAR relies on the scent to dissipate over time. As for product performance, I didn't see a difference in this from my usual deodorant. The 48-hour protection claim may be sufficient if the wearer engages in little no physical activity over the course of the 48 hours. I tested this, under stress of moderate weight-lifting and HIIT cardio sessions and it did nothing out of the ordinary. Mind you, as a product that was given to me to test, I am unaware of what it costs. If it sold as a premium deodorant, I wouldn't pay the extra money to purchase it. So, as a deodorant/antiperspirant, it's not bad, but it's nothing special.

Here's the thing, brussel sprouts don't suck. However, if they are overcooked or mushy, they do suck. So, try this recipe to make healthy, happy brussel sprouts! And no, your mother did not tell me to post this. What ya need: 1 1/2 cups of fresh brussel sprouts 3 roughly chopped shallots 1/4 tablespoon of olive oil 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper 1/8 teaspoon of crushed red pepper Ok, so: Bring about 2 cups of lightly salted water to a boil in a large pot. Insert a steamer basket filled with the brussel sprouts. Cover and let steam for 7 minutes. Remove them from the pot and set aside in bowl. Now, in a heavy pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the sprouts, shallots, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Cook until brown, being careful not to stir too often, as this might break the brussel sprouts apart. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Every so often, I get compliments and questions about some of the things I own. A lot of them are from people who want to purchase such things for people in their lives. So, this post is a quck reference point for such things. Also, this can serve some of you as a gift guide for presents for the man in your life. Enjoy! Coach Bleecker Card Case & Clip - Some people have wallet issues, and I used to be one of those people. I had a back-problem-causing, George Costanza-style folio in my back pocket. Luckily, I was led down a better path. That of a clean, simple card case with money clip. I love this thing. It's versatile and surprisingly durable. Also, it's a good deal, considering it's a quality leather good. Kenneth Cole Mens Electric Rain Boot - It's rains and it snows where I live. It's the midwest. So when I went searching for a rain boot that wasn't awful, I found something different from a designer I happen to like. Pair this with a heavy wool soc...

I have a few friends that love fried pickle chips, but really don't like the "fried" part.  So I fixed it for them. And now you can enjoy the spoils of our fitness-minded pickle chips! Enjoy! What ya need: 12 slices of sweet pickle 3 ounces of Dijon mustard 1/2 cup of cooked Quinoa 1/2 cup of non-fat yogurt 3 tablespoons of Sriracha Ok, so: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Now, in a smal bowl, mix together the yogurt and the Sriracha and put it in the fridge to chill. In another bowl, coat the pickle chips in the mustard and toss the coated chips in the quinoa. Pat the quinoa down on the chips to make sure that it sticks. Set the chips on a drying rack, that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, on top of a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve hot with the chilled yogurt sauce made earlier and enjoy!

I was once asked if I could make a pesto that was cleaner and healthier than what's available in stores. Since pesto is based in oil, it's difficult to make it super-healthy, but if you add kale, you get the kick you need! So here's a recipe for some pesto that has better levels of potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. What ya need: 1/4 cup of roughly chopped Walnuts  1 teaspoon of fresh-ground black pepper  20 leaves of fresh basil  1 teaspoon of kosher salt  2 tablespoons of lemon juice  3 cloves of garlic  1 and 1/2 cups of chopped Kale  1/3 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Ok, so:  Throw everything into a food processor and blend until slightly chunky, but smooth. You can freeze this and store it for a month or two as well.
