So sorry :(
Hey everyone! I'm super sorry I haven't been updating and blogging in the past week or so. There has been a death and illness in each side of my husband and I's family. I will be updating very soon once I find some extra time! Thanks and sorry to any of the hardcore followers!

Chicken & Veg!
1 Chicken Breast
Asparagus as many as desired
Greens (Kale, Spinach, Swiss Chard) as much as desired
Chicken:
To start my chicken I put it between two pieces of saran wrap, use a meat tenderizer and flatten the chicken breasts until it's about 1-2inches thick. I brush on olive oil on both sides of chicken breasts just so it doesn't stick to the grill. I grill until almost done, then brush on 1 1/2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce, any brand will do! I always go for the less sodium one. Then I add chicken spice and cook until its no longer pink.

Greens (Swiss Chard, Spinach, Kale):
Boil water in a medium pot or whatever the greens will fit in on medium heat. Add greens when the water starts to boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes (my stoves gas so it takes no time to cook) or until greens are nice bright and green. Strain and serve!

Asparagus:
I cook my asparagus in the oven. It varies between how much asparagus I cook at a time depending how many people I'm feeding, so use as much or little as you need. I also put them in a glass cooking pan, then drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper over top and cook until soft but still somewhat crunchy.

Chicken, Corn on the Cob, and Zucchini

1 Piece of Corn on the Cob
1 Small Zucchini

Corn:
Husk your corn on the cob (meaning take off the outer part of the corn, which it grows in). Wash the corn. Place in a medium pot that is boiling. Boil for 15-20mins!
Zucchini:
I slice my zucchini, and coat in olive oil. Then I dump them into my BBQ basket for grilling and grill until soft.
Salmon Dinner!
5oz piece of Atlantic Salmon (I bought from Costco)
Mixed greens as much as desired (Spinach, Kale, Swiss Chard)
1 Medium Zucchini's or as many as desired
1/2 Portobello Mushroom or as many as desired
Salmon:
Preheat your oven at 400F, then put some tin foil down on a glass cooking pan (or any pan you use to cook with for the oven), then lay my salmon down on top. Then I pour the lemon juice over top of the fish and add salt and pepper. Stick in the oven for 10-15mins (I always check mine to make sure its not over cooked or undercooked depending on how you like your salmon; I also buy my salmon from Costco) and VOILA!
Zucchini:
I cut my zucchini length wise, but you can cut it however you like. I mix in a bowl with a couple drizzle of olive oil just so it doesn't stick to the grill. I cook until grill marks on nice and dark on each side and zucchini is tender but somewhat crispy.
Portobello Mushrooms:
I cut the mushroom cap into slices, added some olive oil in a pan about 1 tablespoon then on the stove I fried them until dark and soft.
Greens (Swiss Chard, Spinach, Kale):
Boil water in a medium pot or whatever the greens will fit in on medium heat. Add greens when the water starts to boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes (my stoves gas so it takes no time to cook) or until greens are nice bright and green. Strain and serve!
