One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks. ~Jack Penn

You know those things that you trip over on your way to your goal?  Those stumbling blocks that seem to trip you up?  If you are on a weight loss goal, it's those baby showers, anniversary parties and pot lucks.  Those are just stumbling blocks but they don't have to completely trip you up.  Have a tiny, tiny piece of something and break those blocks into smaller pieces and use them as stepping stones. 

Find it in yourself to focus on your goal and not jump off the band wagon because of a trip and fall.  Get back up, dust yourself off and re-focus.  There are days and times when you will find yourself re-starting several times a day and other times where you haven't tripped and fallen in several days.  Whatever it is, you can do it.  I will try to post healthier recipes if this is something you want and will post the dessert recipes a few times a week.  I just need to know what you want to see.  Please email me or comment to let me know your preferences.

Grilled Asian Chicken 
Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons honey 3 slices fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the soy sauce, oil, honey, ginger root, and garlic. Heat in microwave on medium for 1 minute, then stir. Heat again for 30 seconds, watching closely to prevent boiling.
2. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Pour soy sauce mixture over, and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. Drain marinade from chicken into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Set aside for basting.
4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook chicken on the prepared grill 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Baste frequently with remaining marinade. Chicken will turn a beautiful golden brown
