Your ASWC Team is working hard to lock in good dates for our support group meetings. The next gathering will be on Tuesday, March 2nd @ 7pm.
Please feel free to bring food/drink packets that you might want to swap with other participants. We encourage this!!!
**If Tuesday's are bad for you, please let us know and we will make every effort possible to accommodate your evening schedules**
Also, if you haven't attended one of our workshops, please attempt to make it. It is very informational and the support of our dieters shines through and helps others make the choice to change their lifestyle as well.

Recipe of The Week 2/22-2/28
This recipe comes to me courtesy of a fantastic IP Participant. I myself can't wait to try it!
Buffalo Chicken Recipe (makes 2 servings)
10 oz bone-less, skin-less chicken breast (or use 10oz can of chicken breast)
1/4 cup Emeril's hot wing sauce
1/4 cup Walden Farm's Blue Cheese Dressing
2 tsp white vinegar
For fresh chicken breast: Boil chicken in water. Let cool. Pull apart meat (kind of like pulled pork or chicken salad).
For canned chicken: break apart
Mix wing sauce, blue cheese dressing and vinegar. Add in chicken and stir well. Place in oven safe dish, cover and bake at 400 until hot and creamy (will dry out or burn if not watched).
Serve on a bed of lettuce with red onion, celery. Other veggies that go well in the salad are red cabbage, mushrooms and tomatoes.
Second serving can be warmed in microwave.
If you are reading this and wondering to yourself, if I can't have dressing, then why is she tempting us with the Walden Farms listed above?
I have an answer for that! Walden Farms makes a variety of Carb/Calorie/Sugar/Gluten Free products that accomodate the necessity of condiments. Some of their products can be found in the local grocery store and of course, via the web. I've found that you can order them a little cheaper thru www.netrition.com.
If you have your own recipe to share, feel free to post it!!
