Man I can’t lie, I MISS FOOD DESPERATELY. Through my 21 Days of Healthy Eating I’ve had food craving temptations that that the saints would have given in to. Every time I pass a cookie or cake I literally can feel my self shaking. However sticking true to my guns and seeing this thing out, I’ve done a pretty good job of resisting. It’s not like the food that I’ve been making has been awful, in fact it’s been pretty dang good. This Fried Brown Rice Recipe with Chicken and Vegetables was right on the money in the flavor department, and you would have never known that this thing was half way food for you. Packed with vegetables and protein, it was a winner if you ask me. Now I have to figure out what to do with all of the left over ingredients. May be a salad of some sort…. I don’t know, but check back and see what I do tomorrow with all of the left over goodness.
Added a little more protein to this Fried Brown Rice Recipe with Chicken and Vegetables by topping off with a fried egg!
