kristyn says: "eat this!"

Finding healthy and flavorful/tasty recipes has become one of my new hobbies as eating super healthy can sometimes get a bit monotonous making the same things over and over again. Frankly, cooking without oils, fats & butter can make finding traditionally flavorful things a bit challenging. Today I hit the jackpot with 2 new recipes! Try these Hogan lifestyle approved healthy dishes. They both turned out really yummy and I promise you will like them even if you don't normally eat healthy!

THAI CHICKEN
this is kind of a Thai version of Chicken Fried Rice Chinese Food
2 big chicken breasts (cooked)
1/3 box whole wheat angel hair pasta (cooked)

.
