20 Minute Lasagna

Family Rating:  ★ ★ ★ ★  [ 4 Stars ]   20 Minute Lasagana made in my pressure cooker! Here's the scoop. Back in April, while on vacation ... watching infomercials. I came across the Power Cooker XL . I was impressed on how fast it cooked food, even frozen and I was hooked. Anything to make my life so much easier in the kitchen. Shipping took forever, it was so popular they were on back order for 2 months. I kept getting these messages ... "do you really want it" send back this reply. YES YES I really want this thing. So finally, I recd it in June/July and this week (August) I decided to use it.  Lasagna has been something that I've always struggled with. It either came out to dry, not enough flavor and I always had left overs that lasted forever and I eventually had to throw it out because no one wanted anymore.

Why Am I Not Losing Weight?

A question came in from one of our members today and she asks: I follow and extremely healthy diet, workout at least 5 days a week and I have gained 3 lbs, no inches lost at all. Why am I not losing weight? Have you asked yourself this same questions?  If you didn't know this already, but everyone's body responds differently and there is no one size fits all when it comes to weight loss. So here are some things to look for to help determine the reasons you are gaining weight or may not notice inch loss. If you are exercising 5 days a week; make sure you are eating enough calories to compensate for the amount of calories you are burning. Use an app like My Fitness Pal to help you determine the amount of calories you should be eating. Exercise builds muscle; which is heavier than fat. You could be building muscle; which is causing the slight 1-3 pound weight gain. You could be losing inches in places you are not measuring. Continue to measure on a regular basis but also

Add chicken first, season to taste (I used McCormick Grillers Mojito Lime Marinade) Add all remaining ingredients on top of chicken Cook on high for 4-5 hours (or till meat is tender) Serve with brown rice This actually comes out tasting like a zesty burrito bowl! Yum! I forgot to take an after photo; next time I make this recipe I will update this post with an awesome after photo.
