My first love= Parmesan Cheese!

Wow I have to admit that I love parmesan cheese.  Not only do I love it plain, but I love it on EVERYTHING!  I can spend an hour making the most delicious healthy meal, and then add loads of parm and screw the whole thing up.  Some is good and moderation is always key.  However, when it comes to me and cheese I have such a difficult time "moderating" anything.  It just does not happen!

I started experimenting with a few spices to supplement for cheese.  Salt and pepper of course, but then I added in Coriander.  Coriander is considered a dried cilantro seed and adds a bit of a spicy citrus flavor to the meal.  As an Indian food fanatic, I knew that this would really help whatever it was I cooked taste awesome on its own.

Here is my recipe for my yummy Chicken Salsa Chile.

1 package of Ground Chicken- Purdue 

1 onion- diced

1 yellow pepper- diced

1 jar of salsa- I used Garlic and Lime Wegmans brand

Salt, Pepper and Coriander to taste!

I sauteed the onions and peppers like my mom taught me best :)  I used a little olive oil in the pan and stirred occasionally.  In another saucer I had the ground chicken cooking throughly, breaking it up into smaller chunks.  When the chicken was done I added it to the onions and peppers.  Then I added the jar of salsa and mixed everything up and seasoned to taste with salt, pepper and coriander.  

Below is my finished healthy dish with NO parm cheese on it.  The way I should be eating it. 

Then I added the parmesan cheese amount I used to eat in the picture below on the left side, and on the right only sprinkled some giving an example of moderation.

Hmmmmm baby steps people!  I guess I have to eat it now that I added the parmesan cheese to demonstrate moderation.  Hehe what is that saying, there is always a next time?
