We are talking breakfast this week! Why have it? What are the challenges? How can we overcome them?
Do you have breakfast every morning? Why? Why not? What gets in the way?
Breakfast is so much more (or less) than just bacon and eggs! It gives POWER to your sticktoitiveness!
WALK IT!
Emeryville
This is it! The WALK IT Challenge is culminating Sunday with the official Walk It event.
For more information about the walk in Emeryville Sunday May 22nd click on this : Emeryville, CA Walk
Crissy Fields
I am walking a 5K Saturday at Crissy Field with a few friends. We are meeting at Fort Point at 9am, will walk just past the Beach Hut Cafe (the new one) and back. That is exactly 5K.
The Crissy Field walk is just friends getting together to walk, not an official organized walk. You are welcome to walk with us, to bring your doggies and family.
Oh, and bring a fruit!!
In the Kitchen
It's summer again! Well almost! It's grilling time for sure! Here's a favorite recipe from an older Weight Watchers cookbook It's delicious, easy, and a little different than the usual grilling fare.
Ginger Chicken Yakitori
6 serving, 4 P+/serving
Ingredients
3 TBSP reduced sodium Soy sayve
2 TBSP mirin (cooking rice wine)
2 TBSP Sake or dry Sherry
2 TBSP grated, peeled fresh ginger
2 tsp sugar
1 pound skinless bonless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1- Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray. Preheat the grill to medium-high. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water 30 minutes.
2- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, ginger, and sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sauce is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 6 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat; set aside.
3- Thread the chicken on 6 (8 inch) skewers dividing it evenly. Place the skewers on the grill rack and grill, turning frequently and basting with the sauce, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the chicken with the sliced scallion. Serve hot or warm.
Great idea: Grill a few green onion whole and serve with the chicken (baby leeks would be even better!)
