Stacie's E Lunch - Chicken salad sandwich made with Ezekiel bread, lettuce, tomato, mayo with 4g of fat, and leftover white meat from last nights roast.

*EDIT* It was pointed out to me that dill pickles are actually an S food! Whoops! Live and learn! You could sub fresh cucumber slices for the dill pickles in this meal. :D

E because:
1) The two slices of Ezekiel bread are the giveaway here that this is an E meal. I have hit the 20-45g of carbs target with two slices.
2) I used under 5g of fat to make the chicken salad.
3) I have non-starchy veggies with the lettuce, green onion, tomato and cucumbers.
4) Berries are great in liberal amounts in an E setting.
5) Drink up! Flush your system every single day!!!

Skinny Milk Chocolate

Skinny Milk Chocolate
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 tbsp. xylitol, ground
4 1/2 tsp. Truvia, ground...
2 donks Stevia
Pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup heavy cream(room temp)
1/2 scoop Whey protein powder
1/4 cup cocoa
Grind Truvia and xylitol. Whisk sweeteners, salt and vanilla in a bowl with coconut oil. Add room temperature heavy cream, whisk in protein powder then cocoa powder. If mixture hardened when cream was added, microwave for no more than 7 seconds. Pour into molds or mini baking cups and freeze until hardened. Store in fridge.

Note: I didn't like the regular skinny chocolate, too strong for me because I am not a big fan of chocolate.
Make sure you grind sweeteners to powder(mine was a little gritty).
You could also add a little unsweetened coconut or finely chopped nuts.
Next time I will use mini baking cups because chocolates stuck to molds.

Chicken, brown rice, orange pieces, red pepper and onion on a bed of spinach

 E Because:
1) This meal has less than 5 g of fat. The fat comes from the oil in the salad dressing.
2) there are between 20 and 45 g of carbs in this meal. I used three quarters of a cup of brown rice.
3) my protein source is my chicken breast.
4) there are lots of non-starchy vegetables in my salad.
5) One piece of fruit per meal is allowed in this setting. I chose an orange.
6) good girl moonshine is good anytime.

To make the salad dressing:
1 clove of minced garlic
salt and pepper
A 1/4 doonk of Stevia. (Not too much or it tastes bitter with the orange juice)
The juice squeezed from the orange peels. (I cut the top and bottom off the orange. Set it bottom down on the cutting board and cut curved slices from top to bottom to cut the peel away in the same way you would a pineapple. When you are done, you should have a round naked orange and some peel with some orange membrane still in it. Squeeze the peels into the dressing mixture.)
Add 1 tsp of olive oil to it.
Mix well. Tah-dah!

To Make the Chicken:
Cover the bottom of a baking dish with water. Place your thawed or frozen chicken breast in the dish. Cover. Bake at 350 for about 25-40 mins depending on your oven and if your meat is thawed or not. Chicken is done when you can cut into it and there is no pink inside.

To make Salad:
Place a bed of spinach on a plate.Top with cooked brown rice, chopped and cooked chicken, sliced red pepper, orange pieces and green onion. Pour the dressing over the top and enjoy!
