Day One: Hawaiian Citrus Chicken/Shrimp & Fresh Veggies

Okay. I've already set out my limits on food during the next 44 days.  Tomorrow is Phase Two, Day One.  I got busy with the grill this evening and came up with some great tasting salt-free, oil-free, fat-free guilt-free BUT not taste-free options for tomorrow.

Hawaiian Citrus Chicken or Shrimp
Chicken Breasts or Shrimp
Mrs. Dash Hawaiian Citrus Seasoning (Salt-Free)

Directions
Liberally season chicken or shrimp with Hawaiian Citrus Seasoning. Cook breasts or shrimp on your grill, in your grill pan on the stovetop, in your George Forman or on your broiler pan.  We enjoy it best outdoors on the grill.

LET ME JUST PUT THIS OUT THERE - For anyone needing to consume less salt or  no salt, this seasoning is AMAZING.  There are so many wonderful flavors, sweet, savory, spicy and it is such a refreshing seasoning to the tastebuds!  I admit I LOVE salt, I salt, salt and resalt. BUT I enjoyed both the shrimp and chicken with just the simple Hawaiian Citrus blend.  Give it a try!



Chili Lime Chicken
Chicken breasts
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Dried oregano
Juice from one lime

Directions
Sprinkle each side of  each breast evenly with garlic, onion, and chili powders, cumin and oregano.  Squeeze the juice of one lime on each side of the breasts. Cook breasts on your grill, in your grill pan on the stovetop, in your George Forman or on your broiler pan.  We enjoy it best outdoors on the grill.

Sauteed Peppers & Onions
One bell pepper, cut into large slices
One large onion, cut into large slices

Directions
Place in a hot skillet with NO oil, stir frequently.  Season with garlic powder, black pepper and a squeeze of lemon.  Cook until tender.

Summer Squash & Zucchini
Yellow squash
Zucchini

Directions
Cut squash/zucchini in half lengthwise and cut into one-inch diagonal pieces.  Sprinkle with your favorite seasonings (salt-free if you please) and cook on a grill pan on the grill.  If you choose, you could also place on skewers before grilling and forgo the grill pan, and actually this is my preferred method of cooking because you have more grill contact, making the squash and zucchini more flavorful from the grill. 

I used Braggs Table Blend seasoning on my squash/zucchini and it was good, but I do prefer the Mrs. Dash spice blends over any others I have tried.

This is what 3.5 ounces of chicken & 1 cup veggies looks like! YUMMO!

As Minnie Mouse says, this is EASY PEAZY LEMON SQUEEZY!!! 

TIPS:  Keep your pantry stocked with a variety of seasonings so you have OPTIONS.
A change of seasoning can make the world of difference!

It's all in your attitude.
