Sweet and Spicy Mustard Dressing



Anyone who knows me, knows that I love mustard.  There are currently 8 types of mustard in my kitchen.  My egg whites are naked without it.  So I decided I needed to whip up some salad dressing using mustard since it's such a diet friendly condiment.  An ounce is about 18 calories, 1 g fat, 1 g carbs, 1 g protein, and NO sugar.  Thus my food gets drowned in it.  So here's my guiltless salad dressing.

PLEASE NOTE: These are guestimated measurements.  I just started throwing shit in a small bowl and mixing with a fork until it looked salad dressingy.  Shuddup, that's totally a word.
2 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp stevia (or whatever sweetener you use)
dash of cayenne pepper

Yup, that's it.  And it's FABULOUS!

Lazy-ass Lemon Ginger Basil Chicken

Mmmmmmm... flavory.  Anyone who knows me is well aware of the fact that I am lazy as fuck.  Yes, I go to the gym and bust my ass, but I will practice some incredible feats of counter-balancing to carry all my groceries from my car into my apartment in one trip.  I will do universal loads of laundry mixing my whites and my colors together because let's face it, I don't really give a shit if my gym socks and sweat towels aren't gleaming white like a frickin Clorox commercial.  Thus the slow cooker has become my BFF.  Don't tell my actual BFF that because he's a big half black man and he'll beat the shit out of me for saying he's been replaced by a kitchen appliance.  WTF was I talking about?  Oh yeah, chicken.  I have decided that prepping my chicken in a slow cooker is the greatest thing ever, since it stays so moist even after reheating and takes very little effort on my part thus leaving me more time to be lazy.  So here you go, Lazy Ass Lemon Ginger Basil Chicken.

Whatchoo Need:
4 chicken breasts (thawed, frozen, doesn't matter)
Fat free chicken broth
1/2 fresh lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp ground ginger
2 tbsp fresh ginger root
1/2 cup fresh basil
Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix That Shit Up:
Line a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner so you don't have to clean it after (yay laziness!)
Dust the chicken titties with salt, pepper and ground ginger and place them in the slow cooker.  Add enough chicken broth to reach the top of the chicken.  Add the lemon juice.  Dice the fresh ginger root (or use a garlic press if you're extra lazy), slice the lemon, shred the basil and add them to the slow cooker.  Cover and cook on high for about 4-5 hours. D-U-N, DONE!  I like to shred the chicken with a fork (read: my fingers) because it's moist enough that it just falls apart.  You can remove and toss the lemon slices or just leave them in there and eat them.  They cook and soften as well.  Extra flavor yo!
