Ginger lemon bakes chicken!

1/4 cup olive oil

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 whole lemons, one juiced and one sliced

1/4 cup minced ginger

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

ground pepper to taste

4-6 chicken breasts, wash and pat dry

1 medium onion (any kind), thinly sliced

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp rosemary

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and ginger.

Place chicken in a rimmed 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish ( add any veggies that you would like too). Place parts skin side up and spread them out evenly in the pan. Pour olive oil mixture all over chicken, turning pieces to coat all sides. (If you marinated the chicken in this mixture, still add it all in). Arrange slices of lemon and onion around and under the chicken. Sprinkle all over generously with thyme, and rosemary (free foods).

Bake uncovered for about 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked and juices run clear. Remove parts to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped fresh herbs, if desired.

Enjoy!

Coffee updates! FOOD CRAVINGS

Yesterday I posted about spicing up your coffee and I had a hit this morning by putting coconut oil in my coffee and with dairy free coconut creamer. It was seriously delightful! Not to mention its great for you, it has been said that if you consume coconut oil your metabolism increases throughout the day! Try it :) Let me know if you have done this before. Also, I found this interesting! I crave foods that I should not be eating ALL the time, this list totally makes so much sense. I will give it a try and let you know what I come up with. I crave sugar mostly so I really need to dial it in on what to put in my body when this happens. Normally, wine does the trick but does that count as fresh fruit ;) Here is the article if any of you want to read more in-depthly! http://www.herbs-info.com/blog/what-food-cravings-are-telling-you-about-your-nutrition/
