For those who took the clean eating challenge, how’s it going? Feeling better? More energy?

Definite yes from me – I always get bogged down around Christmas. All the parties and the goodies means the exercise and eating well goes out the door. In some ways, it’s a relief for January to finally kick in. I can recommit to better food habits, and hit the gym with all the other resolutioners.

*Rant alert* By the way, if you’re a resolutioner, don’t let the regular gym people make you feel bad about it. You’re doing something tough, and that is awesome. Setting a goal and working towards it is the best gift you can give yourself – way to be on the right track 🙂 So here’s my pep talk – Achieve your goals! Go! Fight! Win! And tell me about it when you get home. I do so love these little chats, darling (points if you know the movie). *Rant over*

I also get to eat delicious foods like this one.

Not only does it look, smell, and taste incredible, Italian Chicken Skillet is easy to throw together and pretty darn healthy. It’s rapidly become a favorite around our house.

Basically, I set out to make a copycat recipe for the Noodles & Co. Alfredo Monte Amor bowl, but got distracted and came up with an Italian Chicken Skillet instead. Frozen chicken breasts, canned tomatoes and frozen peppers make this an easy throw-together meal. The flavors are fresh, though, and your waistline will thank you as well as your taste buds!

P.S. If you know of any great Noodles & Co. copycats, leave a comment. I’ve got a husband who would be eternally grateful 🙂
