Not a Fan of Cooking? Try a Simple Cinch Recipe!

Cooking always serves to be a messy and sometimes fatal endeavor, but it can be fun as well as healthy for the whole family.

If you know me, you know that I do not care to cook, have no interest in cooking, and quite frankly don't even know where to start!  For those few times that I do feel like providing a home cooked meal for my husband and daughter I hunt for a recipe with few ingredients, 30 minute or less prep time, and something that I already have most of the ingredients for on hand in my own kitchen.

A couple of weeks ago I was at my Mom's house picking up my daughter and asked her for a few simple recipes.  She immediately turned to her Cinch Inch Loss Plan recipes through Shaklee among the dozens of cook books she has in her home.  I quickly scanned the ingredient list - I had all but two of them!  I looked over the nutritional information - healthy, packed with protein, and enough calories to refuel my body from the day.  I thanked her, jumped in my Tahoe, raced to Harris Teeter without speeding, and bought a box of cornflakes and a bag of pecans.

I spend less than 15 minutes preparing the chicken, popped it in the oven and moved on to throwing a couple of ears of corn from my friend's garden on the grill and slicing up a juicy watermelon from the Farmers Market.

My husband was impressed and so was I!  When I cook a delicious meal all on my own, I feel like I just earned an A on a test!

From my family to yours, I hope that you will enjoy a delicious family meal!
