Thank you Weight Watchers

So I am at a point where I'm unhappy with my weight. Its bathing suit and shorts weather. I turned to my WWs cookbook for some inspiration and decided on chicken with feta sauce. I have no idea if this is healthy but it tasted fine. I havent had Anthony's opinion on it because he isn't home from work.

I used three chicken breasts
sprinkle of balsamic vinegar
sprinkle of ground thyme
olive oil to coat my pan
1/3 cup crumbled feta
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons flour
half of a lemons worth of juice
Ground black pepper
dried oregano
cooked orzo
cucumber chunks

Coat the bottom of a pan with olive oil
Place the chicken breasts in the pan
Sprinkle the balsamic vinegar and thyme on the chicken
Cook the chicken through, mine took maybe 8 minutes a side. Cut into your chicken and make sure it's white with clear juices.
Remove the chicken from the pan and put on a plate

Add the flour to the pan stirring it in well so you dont have a lot of lumps of uncooked flour.
Next add your milk. Make sure the temperature is simmering and stir that milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes.

Add your feta cheese and lemon juice and stir until the cheese melts. Mine didn't melt 100% but that was fine with me, the big chunks were smaller after this process and I was HUNGRY.
This is where I seasoned the sauce with black pepper and the oregano.

I added my chicken back into the pan and heated everything together

I plated some orzo, then placed the chicken in the sauce on top of the orzo, around the plate a put the chunks of cucumber. Chicken, feta, and orzo, = cucumber for me personally. The original recipe suggests frozen broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot mix.

Low Iodine Diet

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet. More info can be found here Thyroid Cancer Survivor Association I don't have thyroid cancer. I do have to have the same treatment as a thyroid cancer patient would have. Don't worry! I'll be fine in a few months. Some of the guidelines include -No seafood. no problem since I don't eat any -No soy products. no soy sauce, no tofu, no soy beans. sadness :( -No processed foods. The frozen meals I like to eat at lunch at work are now OUT. AHHHHHHHHHH and so are things like canned soup. Good bye tomato soup in a can -No dairy. Whatever is used to clean the cow milking equipment has iodine. how will I like without milk, cheese, and yogurt. it really puts a damper on my breakfast options. -Only fresh bread. I just threw a loaf of sliced wheat bread in the freezer for when the diet...
