In addition to consuming green smoothies, Caldwell promotes the consumption of tea due to its high content of antioxidants and metabolism-boosting properties.

Healthy, Crunchy Asiago Chicken Nugget Recipe Cheese is totally a food group. Like, it’s own food group. It’s inexplicably a salty, savory, melt-in-your-mouth group of food. Remember those big fenced in sections of brightly colored balls you used to play in as a little kid? Yeah, first… I think those are pretty gross right? But whatever… just imagine if those things were filled with cheese. If I had to pick a favorite cheese I would cry. Which explains these chicken nuggets! I also make chicken nuggets to make up for my misdoings like that. Crunchy Asiago Chicken Nuggets serves 2-4 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 3 cups low-fat buttermilk 2 cups panko bread crumbs 1 cup seasoned regular bread crumbs 1/3 cup flour (any is fine, I used whole wheat) 1/2 cup freshly grated asiago cheese 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup dijon mustard 1/4 cup honey 2-24 hours before serving, cut chicken breasts into nugget-like chunks.

You Know You Want Sexy Abs! | healthkicker - StumbleUpon The next month or two of work on Xanga 2.0 is going to be busy, so I wanted to share with everyone a roadmap of how we’re thinking about things! We’re dividing the work on this project into four basic phases. Phase 1. Data migration As described here, we’ve imported over every account that we have on Xanga over to the new system so that anyone who could sign into Xanga can still sign into Xanga 2.0. Finally and most important of all, we’ve imported over 2 million blogs from the old system. * We’ve archived the blogs of the hundreds of thousands of blogs where the user has logged in in the past 5 years and has at least two subscribers. * We did an additional set of archives for 200k users who had logged in the past year and had at least 10 blogs. * We’ve also archived the blogs of every single user that’s ever been premium at any point in the past… And of course, a lot of you guys archived your own blogs using the old Xanga archive generator. Phase 2. Phase 3. Phase 4.
