Sweet Pea, Cheese and Pickle Salad



Getting kids to eat vegetables is a challenge for many parents. Noodles are a complete opposite and kids love them. Noodles shaped like starts, noodles shaped like shells, noodles shaped like tiny tubes, and more. Most kids like peas and when you combine them with noodles, you have a winner, a vegetable delivery "system."
Recently I came across a recipe that has been around for decades, Pea, Cheese and Pickle Salad. I've always loved this recipe and was surprised to find a ready-made version in the deli section of my supermarket. Since I had some leftover cut spaghetti (long noodles cut into one-inch pieces) on hand, I decided to add them to the deli salad.
But the mayonnaise dressing was too thick, so I thinned it with some coleslaw dressing. What a sweet combination! I snacked on the salad all day. In fact, I couldn't seem get enough of it. The combination of sweetness and crunch was irresistible. Kids will love this salad, too, and you can save money by making it from scratch. According to "Green Peas Nutrition Facts," an article on the Nutrition and You website, peas have many health benefits.
"Peas are on of the most nutritional leguminous vegetables, rich in healthy minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants," the website reports. Green peas also contain folic acid, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), Vitamins A and K. Better yet, they are packed with fiber, which is essential to good health. Read More

Madarine Chicken Salad



One of my favorite chicken salad is Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad. On Friday, and have good O'Charleys is even better. Extra green romaine, pecan crusted chicken tenders, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, crumbled blue cheese, candied pecans and served with a balsamic vinaigrette sauce just tastes so darn good. At 1020 calories, I had to create a lighter version of the home.

When I was skinny and research in creating a cleaner version, I was shocked to see where most of the calories came from. Pecan, pecans, pecans! Now, these nuts have no nutritional value, but the extra is not needed here. So the first change I made was a battered pecan chicken. I used brown rice bread crumbs Batter my chicken breasts instead of pecans. One cup of crushed Pecan is approximately 750 calories compared to 160 calories in a cup of brown rice bread crumbs. Brown rice has also lower the glycemic index food with gluten-free. Chicken breast, first dipped in egg whites and 1 cup of brown rice bread crumbs are used Batter raw chicken breast. This is a 590 calorie difference between the use of crushed pecans. Once a battered chicken baked in a pan coated with 0 calories, 0 fat oil spray instead of fried. Read More
