OK another experiment that was a huge success.
I mixed mango salad dressing with ground cumin, turmeric and alittle olive oil then dipped boneless chicken breasts into the mixture then coated the chicken with oatmeal and baked 325 degrees for 45 minutes.
While it was baking, I sauteed garlic then added fresh spinach till tender and served the chicken over the garlic spinach. Best part was the oatmeal left in the pan which could have been a stand alone side dish!
We cannot decide which baked oatmeal chicken is our favorite, loving them all. May give the edge to the one with the sesame ginger dressing because it tasted so much like TGIF's sesame chicken nuggets. These *OLDE Cape Cod* dressings/marinades (Mango and Toasted Sesame Ginger) are on sale this week at the A&P. I used oatmeal from Aldis ($1.99 for a huge canister).
I think Aldis should pay me for advertising LOL
ETA: as an extra bonus, our son has visited me three times to give me a hug for a great dinner.

Muving, KB, ExTv, CS
My eye still had just alittle discharge this morning but no itching and seemed less irritated. For the first time in a very long time, my knee didn't bother me at all last night!
This morning I warmed up on the bungee to a really fun combination of MUVE clips on the Family MUVE dvd, starting with That Hypnotizing Man and ending with Zombie Me. I just love all of the MUVE clips on the bungee. I do skip twirling around but Maggie offers more moves in a 3 minute clip than most 30 minute rebounder workouts! Here's the link to That Hypnotizing Man

Next I did some of the lower body (buns and thighs) from the 10 Minute Solution Kettlebell workout but didn't care for it because endless squats. Then I did Amy Dixon's Exercise TV Beginner Bootcamp which I luckily downloaded before the demise of Exercise TV. It worked well with homemade XCOs. Finished with Classical Stretch.
ETA: I made that Oatmeal Baked Chicken again tonight but used a sesame ginger salad dressing instead of honey mustard and it came out amazing. Tasted like TGIF Sesame Chicken but no fat added!!!
Also hooked up our new Cannon printer bought through Amazon Prime without any glitches. Printer was cheaper than buying new ink for our old printer that was never any good till its last few pages that I printed today. Suddenly the darn thing printed clearly for the first time in 10 years LOL

Happy New Year!!! BL Calorie Knockout
I woke up this morning feeling much better than I have been feeling. Eye is improving rapidly with prescribed drops and energy level soaring. So I warmed up on the bungee in my favorite way to MUVE clips then did Dolvett's Tabata workout on the Biggest Loser Calorie Knockout dvd, not muting Dolvett's wonderful voice with the music only option. Then I did the warmup which was also led by dreamy Dolvett. Then I tolerated Anna's voice in her routine which started with decent standing abs. Sometimes, I used a light kettlebell as a single weight, sometimes homemade XCOs as dumb bells, sometimes the UR for higher impact or whichever piece(s) of equipment seemed to work best for the particular moves being done. Finished with some Classical Stretch after 50 minutes of cardio at varying intensities.
Yesterday after our fasting blood tests, we ate breakfast at our favorite diner whose home fries/hash browns were absolutely delicious and tasted greaseless so I attempted to make these potatoes at home this morning and succeeded! First I soaked some dehydrated minced onions in water till hydrated while preheating the oven to 450. Sprayed a baking pan with a vegetable spray (like PAM) to prevent sticking. Dumped a bag of frozen hash brown potatoes into the pan which were basically just grated potatoes (ours came from Aldis). Mixed in the rehydrated minced onions plus the extra water not absorbed, sea salt, ground black pepper, onion powder and paprika. Covered the pan tightly with aluminum foil and put it on the bottom oven shelf till bottom browned (about 20 minutes) then flipped the potatoes and replaced them in the oven covered (can even shut the oven off at this point while cooking your eggs, etc.). They also reheat wonderfully.
ETA: Just made a fabulous dinner!
Oven baked chicken breasts with the chicken dipped in a honey mustard salad dressing then coated with seasoned oatmeal (I used to make this chicken dish with bread crumbs but it is sooo much better with oatmeal!)
a casserole of canned black beans, frozen corn, red and green bell peppers, celery, carrots, and red onion seasoned with cumin and turmeric (softened the raw chopped veggies in the microwave before combining everything)
and a packaged Knorr BBQ flavored rice.
All these crazy dishes really worked surprisingly well together.
Some leftover chicken and bean casserole will top a spring mix salad tomorrow for lunch. Why pay over $7 for a Chipotle chicken salad at Manhattan Bagel?
