Easy One Pan Chicken Dinner

Happy Monday to you! Hope you all had a great weekend! 

Mine was fun and busy with family and friends! However, whatever cold that's been going around finally caught up to me. So since I'm being a major bum on the couch and still want to stick to my healthy eating, 

I've got this super easy dish roasting in the oven to last me a few days.

The weather is awesome! Let's Go to Las Vegas and Henderson Farmers' Markets!

The weather is so nice outside and it makes me to get outdoors more! What better than fresh local produce and the awesome outdoors?! I'm always trying to remember when the Farmers Markets are and where they're located in Las Vegas and Henderson, so I put this list together to find them all in one place.

Do you know of any that I missed?

Spicy Yogurt Dip and Veggies

Spicy Yogurt Dip and Veggies

If you like your dips more on the savory side, you'll love this dip that uses yogurt and seasonings to spice things up.

SERVINGS: 8

32 oz fat-free plain yogurt
Garlic powder to taste
Onion powder to taste
Seasoned salt to taste
Cut-up fresh veggies

1. LINE a strainer with a coffee filter or white paper towel. Place the strainer over a bowl (this catches the liquid that will drain off the yogurt). Spoon the yogurt into the filter-lined strainer.
2. COVER and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. This process yields about 16 ounces of yogurt cheese.
3. SEASON the cheese lightly with the seasonings suggested above, or add freshly chopped herbs such as parsley, rosemary or thyme. Use as dip for fresh vegetables.
