Tuscan Chicken

Random, but Polie was jealous Asia made the blog earlier and she didn't.  Check the white spot.
My husband is a good griller.  And I am thankful for that.  I've never attempted to grill.  It's his domain.  I'm content to chop veggies and clean cutting boards in my air-conditioned kitchen.


Tonight's menu started off as a kabob....psst- did you know how many spelling there are for kebab?  According to Wikipedia the list looks like this- kebapkababkebobkabobkibobkebhavkephavkebabieCevap.  Good to know.


We didn't feel like skewering so we chunked some green bell pepper and Vidalia onion, tossed in some grape tomatoes (I love these because they have no goo! I distain tomato goo!), and skewered some mushrooms. Kyle chunked the chicken (I also distain cutting raw chicken) and spiced with a great Tuscan spice mixture.

We got the "Tuscany Blend" spice packet from one of Kyle's clients, Cindy, who picked it up from Downtown Disney.  It is a great addition to grilled meats and good for a homemade salad dressing.


The food was grilled and we dug in. 


We were careful to save some leftovers for our Clean Eating lunch.


The fridge is ready for a super clean eating week.
Tomorrow starts the big clean eating push so I made a totally weird, but delicious to me dessert tonight.  I shall call it GREEN STUFF!


It's one package sugar-free pistachio pudding mix, Lite Cool Whip, and half a can crushed pineapple with juice.  It's all sugar, honey!  And I like it!
Green stuff!
Do you have any weird family desserts that you make?


Love and goo-less tomatoes,
Carissa & Kyle

  1. ohh that looks wonderful! I do love to grill, I so wish that we had some outdoor space here in the city!

    That dessert looks yummy I always enjoy strange food combos. My fav dessert lately is soy vanilla ice cream topped with bran flakes. Creamy and crunchy! :)
