Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya

 Well . . . I haven't actually done the 14-Day reset as planned because I was sick with COVID.  Last night, I did use one of the recipes for dinner.  

The actual recipe is Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya.  I did lots of substitutions so if you want to see the original recipe, click on the above link.  I will need to cut the spices for next time as it was a little bit too spicy for my husband (I liked it!).  Oh, we had stewed tomatoes instead of crushed or diced.  I will use the diced next time.  And I may add more mushrooms.

Here's my modified recipe:

1 Tbsp Avocado Oil

13 oz smoked turkey sausage, sliced

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, cut into chunks

4 mushrooms, cut in chunks

1 cup sliced celery

2 tsp Onion Onion Seasoning

1 tsp Garlic Garlic Seasoning

1 (14 oz) can no salt added crushed tomatoes

3/4 cup unsalted chicken broth

1 1/2 Tbsp Simply Salsa Mix

1 tsp smoked Paprika

2 tsp chili powder

2 (12 oz) pkgs frozen riced cauliflower

1.  In large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add sausage, chicken, celery, mushrooms, Onion Onion Seasoning and Garlic Garlic Seasoning.  Cook until chicken is no longer pink, sitrring occasionally.

2.  Stir in tomatoes, broth, Simply Salsa, paprika and chili powder.  Stir in riced cauliflower.  Bring to a simmer.  Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.

Makes 5 servings.

Reset Day 5

 Yesterday (Saturday) was the final day of the 5-Day Reset.  I mixed a couple of the menus.  

Breakfast was the Breakfast Brocoli Hash.  I lowered the temperatures for cooking to Medium from Medium High.  That helped prevent some of the sticking - although, it took longer for the egg to cook to my preferred doneness (hard yolk & whites).

I had the Pistachio Chicken Salad for lunch.

Carrot sticks were my afternoon snack.

Dinner was the Asian Beef & Veggie Skillet.

Evening snack was apples with peanut butter.

Stepping on the scales this morning showed a total weight loss of 4.6 pounds.

Today, I did have an English muffin and hashbrowns with my breakfast since we were eating out.  Lunch was a chef salad (contained cheese).  However, if I continue to limit the grains and dairy, I should be good.  We will probably have popcorn this evening since we haven't had a dinner.  Been no snacks.  Did drink quite a bit of water while at the restaurant watching the Seahawk game.  What a game!

I plan on doing the 14-Day reset starting next week.  So, stay tuned for articles on how that goes.

BTW:  This posting is late as I was waiting to copy the pictures from my camera.  Today was the first.
