Walnuts give you good omega 3 they say, and the raisins equates to "1 serving" of fruit. The cereal is loaded with stuff too. It's a super addicting mix, just fair warning. Better to use a cereal with flakes. If you use square or shaped cereal, the nuts and raisins will fall to the bottom and be boring.

BTW: when you find the aisle that has raisins, check out all the dried fruits. Dried apricots are awesome.. lots of fruits are really great dried and totally snackable. Plus they wont rot in a bowl causing you to curse yourself!

I buy boneless skinless breasts in a big family pack to save money. But since I live alone, I'm stuck with so many frozen breasts that I decided to start poaching them. So I take a few breasts and put them in a medium pan with water to cover them by about 1/4 inch or so. Season the water with salt, pepper, whatever you have on hand. Bring to boil then drop the temp down to as low as you can get it for 3 minutes then turn off the burner and cover. Let sit 20 mins or so and it'll be done (check with temp. probe that it's 160f). Now you can put the meat in a container in the fridge and use it up over a few days time.

Makes great lean sandwich, add to salads, cook some noodles and throw some meat in there.. etc etc. Lots you can do with plain old chicken.
