Make a decision...no matter how small..........

.........make a decision to do something for you. Something towards what you want. Lets face it, we are forced to make decisions every single day. We are faced with decisions as simple as what we want to wear clothing wise or what we are going to eat daily. I tell myself daily.......I'm going to be happy. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to be happy." Setting a goal and reaching it, no matter how unimportant it may be to the rest of the world. "We are really advocates of just getting as happy as you can be - which takes care of everything. Even if you don't have reason to be happy - make it up. Fantasize it. Make a decision that you're going to be happy one way or another - no matter what. What decision will you make????? Just make it...& run with it! Any little thing is an improvement! Little steps become big accomplishments! Here's an Italian classic made lighter. Baking the cutlet as opposed to frying really lightens this dish up while remaining moist and full of flavor. Serve this with a big salad for a complete dinner. Baked Chicken Parmesan 8 • Serving Size: 1 piece • Old Points: 5 pts • Points+: 6 pts Calories: 224.5 • Fat: 8.6 g • Protein: 25.1 g • Carb: 14.2 g • Fiber: 1.3 g 4 (8 oz) chicken breast halves, sliced in half 3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (I used 4C whole wheat) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tbsp butter, melted 3 /4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese (I used Sargento) 1 cup marinara cooking spray Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray. Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Melt the butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken. Lightly spray a little more cooking oil on top and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over, bake another 5 minutes. Remove from oven, spoon sauce over chicken and top with shredded cheese. Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
