Day 13

 Great day not too much snacking not too much cravings, found out i am starting to get a cold which could of been part of the reason why i didn't eat too much today not to much energy. I always try and eat a healthy balanced meal. Lunch i try and get enough protein and food with as little calories as possible to make it through till dinner. other wise i tend to snack which i don't really want to do. I try to stay busy during those craving times so that i try not to eat. Tried another new recipe i was the only one to try it. Husband didn't get home till 7 and ate lunch late so he wasn't hungry. Jerrica doesn't eat anything but peanut butter sandwich yogurt and fruit, and Bethany was sick and didn't eat all day, I loved it really nice taste.

Chicken piccata recipe:

1/4 c white wine or chicken broth
1 TBS lemon juice

1. Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Add chicken, one piece at a time, and shake to coat.

2. In a large skillet, brown chicken over medium heat in butter. Stir in wine/chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Drizzle with lemon juice.
