A STAFF FAVORITE 
RECIPE  FROM:

 LAURA



This recipe is amazing!!!  It's simple, delicious and great for serving company!  The recipe serves 6 and perfect over rice! 
 
SLOW COOKER THAI PEANUT CHICKEN

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 c. fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp green onions
1/3 c. lightly salted peanuts
14 oz. can of coconut milk
1/4 c. honey
2 tbsp. lime juice
3/4 c. creamy peanut butter
1/4 c. low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil.
2 tbsp corn starch
salt & pepper


Drizzle olive oil over bottom of the slow cooker.  

In a large gallon size ziptop bag, add the chicken, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.   Seal the bag and toss to coat the chicken evenly.  

Add the chicken to the crock-pot and distribute evenly.  

In a medium size bowl,  add coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, (maybe even a touch of cayenne powder, if you like spicy!)  Whisk ingredients together.  

Pour the mixture over the chicken evenly.  If it looks like too much, don't worry about it because it will reduce down during the cooking process. 

Cook on high for about 2 hours - or on low for 4 hours.  Check on it after 90 minutes, especially since some crock pots cook faster than others. 

Transfer the chicken to a plate using as much of the sauce as you prefer.  

Garnish with peanuts, cilantro, green onion and serve immediately over rice!

Have you experienced changes in your 
gynecological health since menopause? Did you know that as many as 50% of post menopausal women suffer from these changes?

You don't have to suffer from the side effects of menopause any longer.  It's OK to talk about it! 

MonaLisa Touch is a "life changing" new treatment which uses laser energy to treat
atrophic vaginitis, vaginal dryness, vaginal burning, painful intercourse, and urinary incontinence.

MonaLisa Touch is a medical laser that delivers controlled energy to the vaginal tissue so cells make more collagen and produces more blood flow to the tissue to replace what's lost from the depletion of estrogen. 

No more need for messy and EXPENSIVE creams! 

It's FDA approved and safe for cancer survivors since it's estrogen free! 

Treatments are Simple and Safe :
  • Three <5 minute treatments at 6 week intervals
  • No anesthesia and virtually no pain
  • In-office procedure
  • Annual follow up treatment once a year
  • Available since 2012- thousands of positive results! 

Call now to schedule your consultation to see if the MonaLisa is right for you!

We are offering $500 OFF for all
  breast/ovarian cancer survivors!

JUMP START YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION!

Our Strawberry Body Contouring Laser has been quite popular the past few months! 

Our very happy patients are melting away their unwanted inches in minutes!

This incredible Strawberry laser shrinks fat cells... no pain, no downtime, no side effects!   

It is perfect for those who would like to jump start a healthy lifestyle by losing inches, for someone who needs a little extra motivation to keep going, or if you've been working on a healthy lifestyle but can't quite get rid of a trouble spot!

The advanced body contouring device directly targets the adipocyte fat cells.  Stimulating the cells opens their pores to release the fat stored inside.  The fat cells then shrink in size.  The excess fat is then removed safely by the body's natural metabolic process! 

Discount packages are also available which can add up to a significant savings!
