Flat Belly Diet and some Good Clean Eating

A friend told me about this amazing cookbook. It's called Flat Belly Diet. The cookbook contains 200 MUFA recipes. When my friend showed me this cookbook, at first I felt silly because I had no clue what a MUFA even was. Just in case you don't either, it's known as monounsaturated fatty acids. They are plant based fats, which include olives, olive oil, avocados, chocolate, nuts, seeds, and legumes. The reason MUFAs are so important is because they enhance heart health, help fight chronic disease, and also help with weight loss. The cookbook promotes clean eating. Last night I tried cooking my first recipe from the cookbook called Chicken Piccata. The recipe was simple and used everyday ingredients you already have in your household. The following are pictures of the cookbook I used and also the Chicken Piccata. With the Chicken Piccata, I also made Zucchini Chips made by mixing flour and bread crumbs (the bread crumbs I used did not contain preservatives). I also had some locally grown corn that I bought at a Farmers Market. My husband completely loved the dinner as well.
