by Tracy Russell. "Who ever said salads were boring? Well, when you make a green salad with a fruity dressing, you get anything but boring!
This green spinach-arugula salad is an explosion of flavor with its creamy peach dressing and tart strawberry accents. It makes my mouth water just sharing the recipe with you!
This salad makes a great snack or first course to a meal."
Incredible Smoothies by Tracy Russell. "Cucumbers add a crisp, refreshing flavor and texture to fruit and green smoothies. Keep cucumber smoothie flavors simple by using delicate base fruits such as pears or apples and flavor fruits such as melons, papaya or orange.
Benefits
Cucumbers are a good source of vitamin C and also contain vitamin A, molybdenum, folate, manganese, silica, potassium and magnesium. Cucumbers are an excellent source of dietary fiber.
Cucumbers are known for their ability to improve the complexion of skin and studies suggest that they can even help lower blood pressure."
Incredible Smoothies by Tracy Russell
"According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the number one killer of women in the USA. February is Heart Healthy month so I wanted to make a super heart healthy smoothie just for you.
I like to use oranges, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in smoothies. Oranges have been shown to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol as well as having anti-inflammatory properties. Berries are also full of antioxidants which help reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer.
I also like to use some healthy fats. Avocados are packed with monounsaturated fat and can help lower LDL (bad cholesterol) levels while raising the amount of HDL (good cholesterol) in your body. They also contain 81mcg of lutein. I also like to use flax seed as it is full of fiber, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which are essential for a healthy heart.
Greens are important too so I always add plenty of fresh baby spinach since it is full of lutein, folate, potassium, and fiber.
If you don’t want all the seeds from the strawberries, you can make this smoothie using only blueberries. Be sure to use a full cup of berries. You can add some protein powder to boost the protein content as well. Use dandelion greens or kale to increase the amount of calcium."

I "poached" the chicken the day before in heavily seasoned water in a pressure cooker. It had amazing flavor before I added it. (Cumin, chili powder, Better Than Bullion low sodium Vegetable Base) Those aren't calculated into the chicken calories, but if you are REALLY watching counts, it might add 15???
