Happy Friday Bitches! Below is a recipe post from Daffy! I will post a couple of recipes late this evening or first thing in the morning as well so that you all have some recipes for your trips to the grocery store this weekend. Remember our tips! Don't go shopping hungry! And plan, plan, plan your menus! Love! ~Zgirl

Add some spice to your palate with this diabetic friendly, low calorie, low carb, high protein chicken dinner. Certainly heats up a boring chicken breast. Easy to prepare...even for the kitchen-challenged individual!

Caribbean Spicy Chicken


Serves: 4

Spice Mixture:

½ tsp curry powder

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg


What You Need:

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts

1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper

½ cup sliced onion

2 garlic cloves finely sliced

1 cup canned stewed tomatoes

½ cup chopped fresh parsley (fresh is better, but dried works too)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper


What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In small bowl combine all spices. Season chicken with salt and pepper and coat with spice mixture. In a non-stick skillet sauté chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat 4 minutes - turning once. Add red pepper, onion, garlic and cook 1 more minute.

Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover chicken with vegetables and bake 30-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. (if you don’t have an oven friendly skillet, after stirring in remaining ingredients and cooking an additional minute, transfer everything to an oven safe dish, cover chicken with vegetables and bake).


**Caribbean Spicy Chicken is great paired with a side of rice…white rice or brown rice…both are great!

Meet the Quack Duck:

Duckalicious AKA Daffy treading water in the Batcrap Crazy pond. Adrienzgirl lovingly refers to me as the skinny bitch she dragged here. Not so I say! I came willingly. Frequently some oh-so-nice person will snidely ask why I’m drinking a diet coke and what reason do I have for dieting? Not only would I like to throat chop these people but also ask why they choose to dress the way they do when the circus only comes to town once a year?1? Shutyerignorantpiehole!



I am an insulin dependent diabetic. My life depends on my food choices just as yours does, regardless of my size. I also battle thyroid disease which means if I even dream about food I wake up with 10 extra pounds clinging my ass. Bottom line is not the number but how you feel in your skin. So whether you have 10 pounds or 100 to lose, if your goal is better nutrition or to physically be able to run a 5k, we all have something to gain (no pun intended) from being here.


I’m bringing the diabetic perspective to the table along with recipes that work in my home as well as tips and tricks for everyday weight and health management. Feel free to email me with questions or topics you'd like to see me talk about. I'm not a registered dietitian nor do I have a PHD in these topics. I do have over 10 years of experience and I'm still alive so that should count for something. Now, on to the eating part.

From my kitchen to yours I'd like to share:
