True!<br \/>\nThe first family can pick whatever snacks they want and ask the chef to prepare the foods that they like, and then they will receive a bill at the end of the month.  I understand past presidents and their families were surprised at the prices!!!<br \/>\n<strong>What will the Obamas eat? Are they on a budget?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have it on good account that there will be some healthy changes in The White House!<br \/>\nOften called a miracle food because it packs more nutritional punch than most veggies and heavily loaded with vitamin C, vitamin A and calcium, broccoli will be a mainstay on the menu.  In addition, you might find a bottle or two of Organic Berry Tea in the President&#8217;s fridge.  He enjoys a big healthy gulp after his workouts!  And finally,  there will be raw nuts available for snacks. The operative word here is raw &#8230; not overly salted, or dry-roasted!  Raw and healthy!!<br \/>\nHere follows one of Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Fav Recipes &#8230; just in case the White House Chef is in need of something simple, easy, and Our Lady of Weight Loss approved!  Plus, it&#8217;s a cheap eat! Recession proof.<br \/>\n<strong>Presidential Chicken with Broccoli<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Ingredients:<\/em> One whole boneless, skinless chicken breast (diced into 1\/2&#8243; pieces) * One bunch fresh broccoli (cut into medium pieces) * 3-4 cloves garlic sliced or minced (Are you brave? Throw in more!) * Healthy-style pasta rigatoni approximately 6 ounces cooked al-dente * Olive oil<br \/>\n<em>Instructions<\/em>: Prepare all ingredients and get out a large stir-fry pan.* Cook pasta and drain well. * When pasta is almost done, heat pan and add about 1 tablespoon olive oil, continue to heat. * Stir-fry chicken and garlic. * When chicken is uniformly cooked (no pink areas), add broccoli and continue to stir fry. * If ingredients too dry add just a little chicken broth or olive oil sparingly. * Add pasta, stir again, put lid on pan and let sit on low heat about 5 to 10 minutes. * Enjoy!<br \/>\nSpread the word &#8230; NOT the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">Janice Taylor is a Life &amp; Happiness Coach<\/a>, author, seminar leader and 50-pound-BIG-Time-LOSER!  <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">Write Janice<\/a> for an Introductory Coaching Session.<br \/>\nFor more motivation and inspiration, join the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kickinthetushclub\">Kick in the Tush Club: Beliefnet Chapter.  <\/a><br \/>\nPick up a copy of Janice&#8217;s latest: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-Forgiven-Move-Fat-Burning-Sveltesville\/dp\/014200524X\/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1197052667&amp;sr=1-1\">All Is Forgiven, Move ON ~ Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s 101 Fat-Burning Steps on Your Journey to Sveltesville<\/a>!<br \/>\n<em>&#8221; . . . . kooky genius ~ see if her idiosyncratic diet plan will work for you.&#8221; ~ O, The Oprah Magazine<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ART heart.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/100\/import\/ART%20heart.jpg\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" class=\"mt-image-left\" \/><\/span> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"> about Janice<\/a><br \/>\nFollow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a>:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dig it!
