Day 23, (August 28, 2012)

So this morning started off well. I actually had 3 meals today and a snack and shared with my son everything I ate and he went nuts over it.

Breakfast: 5 scrambled egg with spinach, cheddar and nutritional yeast and chili paste

Snack: "noodled apples" mixed with yogurt, apple spice, cinnamon and almond butter

Lunch: a very freaking awesome Iced Mocha Frappe! almond milk, ice, jay robb protien powder, cocoa powder, chocolate raspberry stevia

Dinner: Definitely a keeper. Coconut  Chicken Broccoli soup. This was sooo simple and incredibly delicious.Boil Chicken breast, Blanch broccoli and garlic, strain and throw in blender, add salt pepper,  1/2 can of coconut milk, and 1 cup of hot water, blend till smooth, i saved half of my chicken diced and 1/4 of my broccoli to have texture to my soup instead of just a puree. It was incredible. I also added chili paste for my flavor and color. I think a shot of lime or lemon woulda been a great addition as well.

Going to bed super stuffer. It was awesome. My son ate almost a whole cup of the soup by himself AFTER he had eaten his diced up chicken and blanched broccoli. He even cried when I turned away from him since he wasn't finished yet. Like a little bird he ate it all up. He was soo tired but so hungry.

My little tip of the day or week or whatever. I wanted to give alittle insight or background as to why I use alot of apple cider vinegar or chili paste. Both are known fat burners. Especially the Apple cider vinegar. I was once told that mixing 2T in a glass of water with some cayenne pepper was like taking a jolt of fat burner. Well to be honest, I couldn't stomach the vinegar. I tried everything. from freezing it in tiny cubers wrapped in spinach leaves so i could swallow it without tasting it. to pill form, while pill form is definitely easier, i actually acquired a taste for it by mixing my 2T in a 32 oz cup of water and sweetening it with flavored stevia. I acquired so much a taste that I am now very very heavy handed when making it. the cayenne pepper too, powder that shit is gross in a drink, but the chili paste has also been an acquired thing, started very small and now it is also added like water. But likely you will see most of my meals incorporating both of these things not only because i have grown to love the taste,, but because they are high fat burners. Hooray for melting fat!!!

Stay tuned for my experiments in my dehydrator tomorrow. I am out. Nite All!
