About Us

BoomerBrief.com is written by Boomers for Boomers.  The brains behind BoomerBrief.com are Bob and Charlotte. 

Bob is a slightly-graying public relations exec with a database brain and an opinion about everything.  His Wii Fit age is 85, but in real life he's still in his 50s. 

Charlotte is a PR exec too, and bears a striking resemblance to Olivia Newton John (yeah, she gets that a lot).  She's in her 50s in real life and only 34 in Wii years. 

This really pisses off Bob.  But, what can he do?  She's so fit she'd take him in a fair fight.

Diabetes-Friendly Chicken Burrito Bowl

Prepare your own Mexican quick fix with this Chipotle-inspired bowl. Carbs are moderated by filling the bowl with beans, extra veggies and chicken. No need for rice, since the beans count as carbs.

Tips:

If you love tomatoes, increase the quantity to 1/2 cup, but note that the carbohydrates will also increase.

If preparing this recipe for one person, cut all of the ingredients in half. Or simply prepare the full recipe up to the end of step 2 and store leftover chicken and vegetable-bean mixture in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, and continue with step 3.

Health Bite: The iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc in black beans help to keep bones strong and healthy.
