A yummy and healthy chicken salad idea



Recommended Posts

Mix together salad bag mix, sliced beets, crumbled goat cheese, diced walnuts and garlic chicken. Very yummy and full of flavor, especially the beet and goat cheese combo.

You can buy the garlic chicken from costco in packs of 6 garlic chicken skewers. They naturally break apart into 3-4 chicken chucks per skewer, you can break them down further depending on desired size.

I have not had beets in years. I got to put them on my grocery list. Do you buy them fresh, canned, or frozen?

They are cooked ready to eat beets from costco. I swear I keep costco in business with all the things I buy from them. :)

Sounds good except for the beets. Don't like the taste or texture.

If you have the time or desire, you can roast fresh beets in your oven. I like to lightly coat them with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. I usually go for a moderately hot oven (400) if I'm doing them by themselves, but you can generally go at whatever temperature other stuff in the oven is going. Just check them periodically until they are your desired doneness. I usually cut mine in halves or quarters and check them starting at about fifteen minutes to turn them. You can get the other colors of beets and mix it up for variety, and they are so tasty freshly roasted!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
