It's possible to trade profitably on the Forex, the nearly $2 trillion worldwide currency exchange market. But the odds are against you, even more so if you don't prepare and plan your trades. According to a 2014 Bloomberg report, several analyses of retail Forex trading, including one by the National Futures Association (NFA), the industry's regulatory body, concluded that more than two out of three Forex traders lose money. This suggests that self-education and caution are recommended. Here are some approaches that may improve your odds of taking a profit. Prepare Before You Begin Trading Because the Forex market is highly leveraged -- as much as 50 to 1 -- it can have the same appeal as buying a lottery ticket: some small chance of making a killing. This, however, isn't trading; it's gambling, with the odds long against you. A better way of entering the Forex market is to carefully prepare. Beginning with a practice account is helpful and risk-free. While you're trading in your practice account, read the most frequently recommended Forex trading books, among them Currency Forecasting: A Guide to Fundamental and Technical Models of Exchange Rate Determination, by Michael R. Rosenberg is short, not too sweet and highly admired introduction to the Forex market. Forex Strategies: Best Forex Strategies for High Profits and Reduced Risk, by Matthew Maybury is an excellent introduction to Forex trading. The Little Book of Currency Trading: How to Make Big Profits in the World of Forex, by Kathy Lien is another concise introduction that has stood the test of time. All three are available on Amazon. Rosenberg's book, unfortunately, is pricey, but it's widely available in public libraries. "Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude," by Mark Douglas is another good book that's available on Amazon, and, again, somewhat pricey, although the Kindle edition is not. Use the information gained from your reading to plan your trades before plunging in. The more you change your plan, the more you end up in trouble and the less likely that elusive forex profit will end up in your pocket. Diversify and Limit Your Risks Two strategies that belong in every trader's arsenal are: Diversification: Traders who execute many small traders, particularly in different markets where the correlation between markets is low, have a better chance of making a profit. Putting all your money in one big trade is always a bad idea. Familiarize yourself with ways guaranteeing a profit on an already profitable order, such as a trailing stop, and of limiting losses using stop and limit orders. These strategies and more are covered in the recommended books. Novice traders often make the mistake of concentrating on how to win; it's even more important to understand how to limit your losses. Be Patient Forex traders, particularly beginners, are prone to getting nervous if a trade does not go their way immediately, or if the trade goes into a little profit they get itchy to pull the plug and walk away with a small profit that could have been a significant profit with little downside risk using appropriate risk reduction strategies. In "On Any Given Sunday," Al Pacino reminds us that "football is a game of inches." That's a winning attitude in the Forex market as well. Remember that you are going to win some trades and lose others. Take satisfaction in the accumulation of a few more wins than losses. Over time, that could make you rich!

Mushroom & Creamed Spinach Smothered Chicken

Mushroom & Creamed Spinach Smothered Chicken
So, I think this might be one of my new favorite meals. I personally needed a break from clean eating, so this was a nice treat for me.
(This recipe was adapted from Bacon, Butter, Cheese & Garlic.)
Prep: Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
I always start by chopping my veggies first and kind of setting them aside. It’s less stressful and it obviously allows me to manage my time better.
Once the prep is done, I rinsed the chicken breasts, trimmed the fat, patted them dry, and seasoned BOTH sides with my seasonings of choice (get creative!). Then, I put them in the pre-heated oven and set a timer for 25 minutes.
The creamed spinach took about 10 minutes to make: sauteed onion & spinach mixed with creamed cheese and garlic.
Don’t be afraid to experiment a little with you perfect spinach to cheese ratio (I added a TON more spinach after taking this picture!). I found that I needed a bag and a half of spinach per 4 pats of creamed cheese. That way, I could use the creamed spinach to smother the chicken and have a little leftover as a side.
I love these Alouette garlic & herb pats of creamed cheese that I snagged a CostCo a while back. They are a great full flavor alternative to regular cream cheese.
I use the exact same method to cook my mushrooms regardless of how I’m going to use them. You can saute them in oil and butter (or both) until they are browned. Deglazing is optional, but if you chose to do so you can use chicken stock or wine. It basically just depends on your preference.
But, NEVER salt mushrooms until they are done cooking. Salting mushrooms while they are cooking will result in shrunken, shriveled shrooms and nobody wants that.
Then, I layered:
I added some salt to the mushrooms here and then topped with the cheese.
I pulled it out when the meat thermometer hit 170ºF.
So friggin’ good.
