I have this thing for baked chicken breast recipes, mainly because it is so easy to prepare and secondly because it is healthy, lean white meat cooked in an oil-free way. Now, baked chicken are usually soft and moist so what if I wanted something crunchy? I do love fried chicken but it is not all that healthy to be eating fried chicken all the time. Besides, deep frying stuff always left the kitchen oily and that means I have to do loads of clean-up.

The first time I heard of Quinoa is when I read about it over at Gera’s SweetsFoods blog and then when I did my fat burning food series, I found out how versatile it is and best of all, it is one of the super healthy foods you simply must have in your diet! Quinoa (pronounced as keenwah) is gluten-free and it is high in protein and best of all, it is also a fat burning food and a heart healthy food.
Let’s continue with my fat burning food series and just like part one and two, part three will also be introducing more food that help your lose weight (or burn fat) either by filling you up, providing your body with the needed nutrients so that your body can function more efficiently or simply helps your body build lean muscle mass which is important for some fat burning action.
