Easy Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore
It’s difficult to eat healthy when you lead a busy life. That’s why I want to share this simple recipe with you. My family loved it. I loved the fact that we were eating something healthy and I didn’t have to spend hours in the kitchen.
5-6 organic chicken breasts
2 jars of Trader Giotto’s Cacciatore Simmer Sauce (from Trader Joe’s)
Cook on high for 3 hours in the crockpot
Boil 16 0z organic spaghetti noodles according to package directions
Pour cooked chicken cacciatore over pasta
Add a little fresh parmesan
Add a fresh green salad to complete the meal
I put the chicken in the crockpot. We went to the movies, came home and I cooked the pasta. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners.

Lisa–
Greetings. I am working on a new book called Return to Fitness: Finding Success on the Long, Slow Road Back to Health and Fitness After Injury, Illness, or Prolonged Inactivity.
And I stumbled upon your blog– and read about your trials and tribulations. My book, Return to Fitness, is about a middle-aged guy (me) trying to get back in shape. I twice completed the Hawaii Ironman and biked solo across America. But these athletic accomplishments occurred long ago. For the past decade, I was mostly sedentary, lethargic, inactive. I became horribly unfit, my body went soft.
On my long, slow climb back to health, I’m interviewing fitness expert, athletes and coaches for their advice and guidance. Because there are countless others like myself seeking to reclaim their former fitness, I’d like to include other personal stories in my book. Even those suffering from a relatively brief layoff due to injury. The overall message in Return to Fitness is that there is no single path back to fitness. Each person must tailor his or her individualized approach based on their personal needs, lifestyle, motivation, desire, and ability. There is no one-size fits-all return to fitness.
My previous fitness book, which I co-authored, is Bike for Life: How to Bike to 100, and is now in its fifth printing.
Finally, would you be available for a phone interview for my new book?
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
