Serves: 4

Ingredients:
16 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2-10 1/2 oz. cans condensed cream of chicken soup
4 ears sweet corn
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 celery stalks
organic peanut butter, to taste (The brand I buy just has peanuts and sea salt.)
raisins, to taste

Directions:
Put chicken breasts in a crock pot. Cover chicken breasts with soup. Cover the crock-pot and cook on high for four to five hours. The chicken should be tender and falling apart. Fill a pan with water and add the peeled corn cobs. Cover and bring to a boil. Boil corn for 10 minutes. Drain. Pour butter over corn and turn cobs to coat. Wash celery stalks. Trim off the ends. Cut each stalk into three equal-sized pieces. Spread peanut butter in the center of the celery and top with raisins. Have with a glass of water.

Serves: 3 (two 4 inch pancakes per person)

Ingredients:
Gluten free pancake mix and the ingredients to make it (The brand I buy has 1.5g sugar per pancake.)
1 banana
9 strawberries
aerosol whipped cream (The brand I buy has 1g sugar in 2 tablespoons.)

Directions:
Make pancake batter according to package directions. Mash banana and stir into pancake batter. Cook pancakes according to package directions, being careful not to burn them. Top with sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Have with a glass of milk or another good source of protein, such as a hard boiled egg.

Servings: The mix I used made 4 servings

Ingredients:
gluten free pancake mix, like one made with brown rice flour, and the ingredients to make it
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
dash nutmeg
1 large apple, peeled and shredded
vegetable oil to lightly grease skillet

Directions:
Follow pancake mix package directions to make batter. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple. Lightly grease skillet. Cook pancakes until golden brown on both sides. These pancakes are good without syrup. However, if you must have syrup, use a small amount of 100% maple syrup. Have with a good source of protein, such as: eggs, nuts. or milk.

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1 slice bread that is not made with an enriched flour, such as an organic multigrain oat bread
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cut bread into cubes. Melt butter and mix with parsley and garlic powder. Drizzle butter mixture over the bread cubes and stir. Bake for 20 minutes or until crisp. When cool, put croutons on top of a salad or a cup of soup. Make sure to eat croutons with a good source of protein. For example: put nuts, seeds, or hard boiled eggs on the salad; put croutons on top of a soup made with cheese; or have with a glass of milk.
