Don’t Miss It, Make it!

  • Anna’s going to be cooking NSNG®-friendly chicken parmesan in this episode, and you can view this on YouTube @FitnessConfidential Podcast. 
    • She is also making her Marinated Chicken Thighs and a Cheesy Broccoli side dish!
    • Anna’s recipes are available in her cookbooks, which are available on Amazon, as well as her Substack (blog).
    • You don’t have to miss your favorite foods. So don’t miss it, make it!
  • Vinnie just had a consultation with a caller who told him why she decided to try Vinnie’s advice. (3:00)
    • Many people are surprised by how much better they feel once the inflammation has subsided. For example, following NSNG® can often help alleviate heartburn, and foods like tomatoes can be reintroduced. (5:00)
  • Anna is cooking up some chicken today and marinating it. (10:00)
    • Acid (like lemon juice), olive oil, and seasoning are all you need for a marinade.
    • Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes; however, several hours is best to get the flavors to infuse.
  • Internal temperature of the chicken should be (near the bone) between 165-180 degrees F when finished.
  • Oven temperature for cooking chicken should be 350-400 degrees F.
  • Pork rinds can be used as a coating or “breading” for the chicken.
  • Next, Anna whips up some cheesy broccoli. (41:00)
  • This demo shows how easy it can be to create two main dishes and some sides within minutes. (48:00)

  • Encourage your kids to stay away from screens.
  • Get them outdoors, make them play with toys, with blocks, or the like. Have them sing, learn an instrument, etc.
  • It’s ok for kids to watch TV for fun, but it shouldn’t be their whole day.
  • Lead by example — if safe to do so, leave your phone at home sometimes.
