Hawaiian Glazed Grilled Chicken

I have to be honest, this was not a recipe from this weeks dinner, however it's healthy, so I kept my promise of only posting healthy recipes this week. Last night I was in the taco mood (I know this is very surprising for you, I never eat Mexican), so I made the Grilled Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Lime Slaw and BBQ Grilled Onions. I really can't get enough of the flavors in those. Boyfriend decide to go tortilla-less for one of his and mix the chicken, slaw, onions, sour cream, and black beans all together. I think he is on to sometime, because it was extremely good; plus I could eat even more of that since I wasn't eating the points on the tortilla, double awesome. Have you heard that if you drink a full glass of water before each meal, you will not eat as much? Well, I tried that little trick out this week and it's true! I have read that often time you are thirsty, but misconstrue that and think you are hungry. I will keep working on drinking more water, especially before I eat.

I know I told you guys about finishing the Hunger Games, but boyfriend just finished as well, so we have had some discussion on how they were. I won't give anything away, but good to know that he feels the same way about the whole thing. I looked up who they are considering for the role of Finnick and have to say that I was surprised. Mainly because I don't really know one of the actors (he is in the new Battleship movie and I think too old looking), one (who's named Armie Hammer...really?!) is the guy that played the twins in the Social Network movie and in my opinion is again, too old looking, and the other is the kid from the Tron movie and I think, is the best fit based on looks alone. It will be interesting to see who they go with. Well, I guess I should talk a bit about this recipe. I was looking for a good marinade for chicken when I came across a version of what is below. I liked the idea of soy sauce and honey, sweet and salty, but decided to kick it up with red chili flakes and add cilantro to mine at the end which really made it fresh and lively. Of course, as with all marinades, the long you can let it sit and party, the better. We enjoyed this will grilled corn on the cob and grilled zucchini. WW points for chicken, 4 points for one breast worth.
