Awesome new website I am addicted to. Has tons of recipes among other things.
A friend of mine shared with me a new website she discovered called www.pinterest.com
It is awesome and I can't stop cruzing it. It is a virtual pinboard where people post their links to their favourite things. Many of these things are recipes, but it also includes organizational tips, and crafty ideas....so fun! Everytime you reload a page, you get a whole host of new pins to look at. Here is a recipe I found that look yummy and would be suitable for WLS with a few changes. I would probably use turkey bacon, and I might also use splend brown sugar mix, or even sugar free syrup instead of the brown sugar. Yumm-o!
I have a thing for foods with a hint of sweetness. I also have a weekness for spicy foods. And bacon. So you can bet that this one was a winner in my book. All my kids liked it too. My daughter has decided that she does not like bacon {what planet is this child from???} so she peeled hers off. Thankfully, there were many kind individuals offering to eat it for her so it did not go to waste;)
As you can see below, the original recipe calls for this to be baked in the oven. The advantage of that method is that you have some delicious flavorful juices to drizzle over the meat and mashed potatoes {if you choose to make them as a side}. It was over 100 degrees the day I made this so there was NO FREAKING WAY that I was turning on the oven. They were fabulous on the grill to, AND as I like to tell myself, MUCH healthier;) If you want to make this chicken teeming with deliciousness, here is all you will need!
Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken
4 chicken breasts cut in thirds (12 pieces)
Bacon slices
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder
chili powder
brown sugar
Cut each breast into 3 pieces, season all the chicken with the spices, then wrap a bacon slice around each piece, roll in brown sugar and place into an oven proof dish....make sure you have some olive oil in the dish too, like 2 or 3 tablespoons is fine {I skipped this since I grilled them. I honestly think you could coat your dish with nonstick cooking spray instead to save a few calories}.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown and crispy. Delicious served with mashed potatoes with some of the gravy from the chicken drizzled on top.
**Also great on the grill! No juices to drizzle on anything, but still delicious!

Wow, Marny! I love 'egg in the hole' which is an egg cooked in a hole in a slice of bread, but this would be a good WLS alternative. I love cooked peppers, too. I'd probably cook the peppers for a moment first, and then flip before adding the egg, just to make sure they aren't too raw for me.

I am a pinterest.com addict - this website will suck you in and swallow up your life (in a good way!) I have made several pinboards for myself so I can reference the things that interest me! Anyone going on this website - BEWARE!!
Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
