Today I went to Whole Foods and picked up some hand dipped  ricotta cheese, creamy cream cheese from Zingermans- really good with the pesto... Tried them all on the mini muffins, carrots, celery, apple wedgies, and flaxseed crackers. It's fun to try all the different flavors.

1/2 c butter

Here's most of the stuff that goes in- I don't think I added the stevia however- changed my mind

Flour Tower

oven ready- Baked it like this for 30 min, then brushed with butter, sprinkled on garlic powder and a little bit of cheese

The results are in. It looks like it's had an oil spill, or it's been splatter painted. Next time I might try adding the cheese to the dough- I just didn't want to use a lot of cheese yet since that's a phase 2 item.

breakfast with cheese

eggs for breakfast

 We added a little cheese to our diet today. We were pretty excited about it. We'll see how that goes... We have been on the diet for about a month now. 

We're a little leery about adding things, it's not like we're feeling much better yet. I actually have had the most benefit so far. My hot flashes are gone and I am off the medications for them. I am starting to get some energy back. My husband thinks he is having less headaches, but he still has a daily low-grade headache. Our daughter is still very sick, however, and rarely well enough to leave the house. The Dr. added more supplements for her. We're hoping they help. One of them, though will increase the "die off", so she may feel even worse before she feels better. She may feel flu symptoms, with nausea and fever. She was very dizzy yesterday, and was in bed most of the day. Today should be better.

There is a powder for chronic fatigue that you mix with liquid. We tried it in water, in smoothie, and in hot tea. It mixed the best with the tea. 

The smoothies for this breakfast turned out great.

I used the smoothie that I had frozen the other day:

put it in the blender and added

2 handfuls of frozen strawberry slices

rice milk- @ 1 c

1 dropper full of stevia

blended on low for 1 minute

Eggs

olive oil

brown together in pan:
bacon
1 green pepper
2 green onions
whip 9 eggs together and add to veggies
sprinkle in pepper and k salt
when almost done top with slices of montery jack and colby cheese
fold eggs in half so cheese melts on the inside

serve with fresh parsley and tomatoes
