2 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. garlic (minced)
1 package chicken thighs
1 package frozen spinach
2 1/2 balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 cup chopped tomatoes with juice
2 tbsp. parsley

In a skillet, heat the oil. Add in the garlic and cook 2-3 minutes; add in the chicken and cook until done on each side (*should be browning); remove the chicken and set aside. Cook spinach according to package directions and add to the pan; stir in the pan and remove from pan; set aside. Lower the heat and add in the vinegar and chicken broth; stir being sure to scrap all ingredients from the bottom of the pan into the mixture. Add in the tomatoes and bring to a slight boil; cook for 5 minutes. On a plate, stack on the spinach, then the chicken and top with the tomato/vinegar mixture plus the parsley. Enjoy! (Source)

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU THICKETTES BUT KRYS NICOLE IS THICKSATIONAL IN THE KITCHEN! LOL! HERE’S A DISH THAT IS VERY DELICIOUS AND ONLY TAKES 30 MINS TO MAKE. A THICKSATIONAL THANKS TO JOHNNA FROM JOHNNA KNOWS GOOD FOOD FOR THE RECIPE. ENJOY THICKETTES!

8 oz. elbow macaroni
16 oz. heavy cream
8 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 oz. cream cheese
6 oz. fresh grated Parmesan cheese
4 oz Gruyere cheese (shredded)
1 lb. lobster meat (chopped)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3 garlic cloves (minced)
garlic powder (to taste)
onion powder (to taste; just a sprinkle)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 tbsp. olive oil
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a pot bring salted water to a boil and add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente (about 10 minutes). Drain the pasta and in the same pot, add cream, wait until the cream warms up, and then add half of the Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, Gruyere cheese and stir in until melted and thoroughly combined. In another pan heat the olive oil and saute garlic and onion. Add in chopped lobster meat and cook until the lobster is opaque. Add the lobster, garlic and onions to the pasta and cheese mixture. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to taste. Add all ingredients to a greased baking dish and cover with breadcrumbs and remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake until breadcrumbs and cheese are golden brown (about 8-10 minutes). Serve.

*Johnna’s tip, tip: Now after thinking about it, some chopped up broccoli might add a nice flair to this dish as well…;-)…

Why do people assume when you eat healthy you are on a diet?

I have never had a vegetarian dish before so I decided to go to a vegetarian restaurant this weekend. I was looking at the menu confused as if it was in another language when the host approached me and asked if I had any questions. I quickly explained to her that I was not familiar with vegetarian dishes and if she could give me any recommendations. She suggested a dish and as I was paying for my order, she asked “How long have you been on a diet?”

Now my first reaction was to snatch that wig off her head and go off but instead my first reply was “Why do you think I am on a diet?” Now, I could continue and tell you her response but all it would do is make me upset all over again and make me go back to the restaurant to give her a piece of my mind ALL OVER AGAIN! So instead, I will say this just because a Thick Girl eats something healthy doesn’t mean she is trying to loose weight. Eating healthy is what you are supposed to do whether you are a size 2 or a size 20! If I am eating a salad, it’s because I want a salad not because I am on a diet!

Please leave your comments Thickettes I know I am not the only one who can relate to this stupidity.
