Chicken Wrap

5 pounds of Chicken, can use thighs, breast or tenders.

3-5 Tablespoons sauce of your choice- Asian, teriyaki, enchilada or any sauce of your choice. My family likes the “Winger” sauce but is spicy for the younger ones.

Wrap of your choice- you can use flavored tortillas, plain tortillas, cracker bread, rice paper wrappers, cooled crepes, split pita breads, and for low carb eaters, sturdy lettuce leaves

Instructions:

Put in the bottom of the frying pan about 1 tablespoons of olive oil then the boneless skinless chicken to starting the cooking do not cook all the way through, when all sides are cooked but not all the way to the center. Take the chicken out to a cutting surface and slice in ½ in slices.  Then put back in to the pan to cook all the way through but do not over cook this will make the chicken tough. I love to use chicken thighs because it is a moist and stays moist. I am a dark meat kind of gal.  Then add 3-5 Tablespoons (more if desired) of any sauce of your choice.  You can choose any sauce like Teriyaki, Asian, Enchilada sauce, Wild buffalo wing, Lemon basil sauce, so many more to even mention.

Then add veggies as desired.

Teriyaki sauce- you can add pineapple pieces and spinach, and sliced very thin onion to make a delightful Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Wrap.

Enchilada sauce- you can add green peppers, green chilies, cheddar cheese shredded, cut tomatoes, minced onions, and shredded lettuce to make a yummy Enchilada Wrap.

Vinaigrette Onion Dressing- you can add spinach or shredded lettuce, minced onion,  minced peppers, shredded carrots, and artichokes then you have a delicious Chicken Vinaigrette Wrap.

Hoisin Sauce- you can add cilantro leaves, salad onions, and spinach or shredded lettuce this will give you a tasty Asian Wrap.

There are so many more to even list.

Great lunch or dinner idea! I buy chicken when it goes on sale and cook then put in a freezer bag so I have an instant meal.

Enjoy and don’t forget to floss!

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammation disease and is linked to other diseases like:

Heart Disease and Stroke, Diabetes, Respiratory Diseases

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gum tissue and the structures that are supporting our teeth.

Scientists have found that bacteria that grow in the oral cavity can be aspirated into the lung to cause respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, especially in people with periodontal disease. This discovery leads researchers to believe that these respiratory bacteria can travel from the oral cavity into the lungs to cause infection.

One presumption is that oral bacteria can affect the heart when the bacteria enters the blood stream, attaching to fatty plaques in the coronary arteries, and contributing to clot formation. Coronary artery disease is the thickening of the walls of the coronary arteries due to the buildup of fatty proteins. Blood clots can obstruct normal blood flow, restricting the amount of nutrients and oxygen required for the heart to function properly. And it that does not sound bad enough this my lead to a heart attack! Ouch that makes you want to brush your teeth more than twice a day huh?

Do you miss that white stuff…. we call snow.

Most of us hate to drive in the snow.  How do you get in the spirit to shop with out it?

An idea! Bring the snow fun to your home, if Mother Nature is taking the snow else where. Not sure this will put you in the mood to shop but you can say snow man soup is good to eat.

How about Snow Man Soup (aka Warm Yummy Clam Chowder)

Warm Yummy Clam Chowder

2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams

1 cup minced onion

1 cup diced celery

3 cups cubed potatoes

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup butter

¾ to 1 cup all-purpose flour

1 quart half-and-half cream

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

black pepper to taste

Drain juice from clams into a large skillet over the onions, celery, potatoes and carrots. Add water to cover, and cook over medium heat until tender.

In a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in cream and stir constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in vegetables and clam juice. Heat through, but do not boil.

Stir in clams just before serving. Do not cook too much they get tough. When clams are heated through, stir in vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.

Last year too much snow this year too little. What is the prefect amount?

You may want to make snow men. Out of eatable snow.
