Leg Workout and an Easy Dinner

This is an amazing leg work out combo that I've put together. Prepare to be sore!

 

Heinz 57 Chicken with Smashed Reds and Green Beans

 And this is something really quick and easy I put together on lazy nights that I don't feel like putting much effort in to dinner. This chicken is versatile enough you can grill it, bake it, or slow cook it in the crock pot. I use baby reds because I actually like eating the skins on those.

Chicken: 
1bottle of Heinz 57 sauce
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and Pepper to taste

Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with salt and pepper, place chicken in a glass baking dish and cover with heinz sauce, cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until done. Or grill or slow cooker on Lo 6-8 hours. :)

Smashed Red Potatoes: 
Baby Red Potatoes  
Shredded Cheese
Bacon Bits

The quantity depends on your family. Cover the bottom of a medium to large glass baking dish with just enough water to cover the bottom. Add baby reds whole in to the glass baking dish, and bake until they are soft along with your chicken. Smash all the potatoes while they are still in the glass baking dish and leave them as is. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with extra light olive oil. Sprinkle with cheese, real bacon bits, and green onions.

Easy Salmon Caesar Salad

I think my favorite thing about Caesar salad is that it doesn't take much work to whip together. It doesn't really require a lot of chopped vegetables, so it's quick and easy.

I've been on such a kick lately and the thing that has really been taking my salads over the edge is sprinkling them with creole or Cajun seasoning. This salad is Delish!


1 skinless salmon fillet
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2-4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan
2-4 tablespoons Ken's Lite Creamy Caesar dressing
1-2 teaspoon creole or Cajun seasoning
