Chicken Pot Pie Oh My!?

Creamy, Dreamy, Chicken Pot Pie

How do you spell Orgasmic? or maybe a better question is how would something taste with that description. What comes to my mind is Awesomeness x a 1,000!!!! Good food is not a rare thing, is it? by the TV commercials you see today one would think so....

I swear every other commercial is for Jenny Craig with the now skinny Marie Osmond, OMG, she looks great but really she is hawking for Jenny Craig? What gives, except $$$ for her checkbook. Then the next ad is for MediFast Clinics telling you I now can do so much more I lost 40-150 LBS, on Boy, then we have Seattle Sutton's one size meal fits all, No counting calories no worries just open your pre-cooked frozen meal put it in the Microwave and expect a instant meal of deliciousness,,,, Oh Yeah that is all True...:( I have a saying for all these ads if it was that easy to loose and it took you awhile to gain all those unforgiving pounds then why is this a Muti-Million Dollar business appealing to us all closet eaters, or nervous eaters, or Bored Eaters, we can put a label on any of it and they seem to be helping us do it and we are paying them too!

What they are not saying or doing is teaching Us how to eat better, pick better foods, what to buy when you go grocery shopping, or how much can I have of that.

They do not want us to have to much information because we won't be back in 6 months to-1 year after we all stopped doing their programs and gone back to eating again real food and were not prepared at all for the let downs. And the inevitable weight gains. We need to push back from the tables, the TV's and the Snack a Munchies and find something else to do with our fingers and mouths.????

It will be hard at first but then it will become Boy why didn't I do this sooner. We are a country of excesses but we also are a country of The Can Do Spirit... So I say we can all do better and make this your new Mantra for 2014, Start Living Not Eating Junk Food... If your gonna Eat let's make it healthy, delicious, not in a can, or mirco container and it does not have a 2 year shelf life:(

When food is natural, made with good ingredients, healthy and taste delicious it is more satisfying, and you do not feel the need to over size it. You also need to fill your plate with more veggies and fruits, make your plate have more colors not just a hunk meat with a side of meat and then potatoes...:(

The above Chicken pot pie is made with organic chicken meat, cream of chicken base, carrots, peas, green beans and a custom mix of seasonings, folded into two organic crusts and baked for 1+hours till golden brown, then serve a wedge of this pie with a side salad and your choice of fruit. Whala you have a wholesome delicious meal which is both satisfying and healthy. Hmmmm now that is  novel idea isn't it:) We all can do this but it does take a little planning and is is true Nothing worthwhile is ever easy otherwise we all would be eating out of a box or container from you know Who...

Divadish cares about You, my Foodies are important to me and always will be so go out and 
Eat Healthy, All The Best of Life

Italian Chicken Sausage Pizza

12" of Deliciousness

You all know the saying Pizza is The Breakfast of Champions....? Heh, well think about it, you got cheese, which is a milk, then you got meat, then you have red sauce which is a veggie because it comes from tomatoes, then of course you got the crust, the most important part.... bread, so put it all together and you got The Oldest Breakfast sandwich of Millions ! Way before McDonald's even coined the phrase, we were scarfing
 down cold pizza from our fridges, our dorm rooms or just from our plain old kitchens enjoying every last bit.

I love pizza I really do, it's got it all and you can now make it Healthy and it still tastes really good... 

This weeks pizza is a Italian /Mozzarella Sausage Pizza      
How can that be? if it's not dripping off the crust at least a court of greasy oil, a ton of cheese, and sausage that is like a hunk of beef all over it.
You do have to substitute some ingredients out for better quality ones, Let's start with the crust, the crust can be a thin crust, made from whole wheat, the sausage can be switched from pork to chicken, the cheeses can be a lower fat combination of Assiago, Mozzarella, and White Cheddar. 
With doing these few adjustments in the ingredients you took loaded calorie pizza to a healthier still tasty version of the same thing, and you will not Taste the difference one bit. Why? because it all comes down to the basic ingredients, and the sauce, crust, and cheeses are what makes any pizza good and if you got a good sauce you could literally do almost anything to the rest of the ingredients.

Pizza it is everyone's go to food and that will never change, so when you want your next pizza, and you want it healthier think about this choice, Divadish Kitchens is always making life a Eating Lifestyle not just eating for now... :) 
Till next time Healthy Eating
