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

dinner 2-16-11

cooking down the pinto beans

Rinse the Roasters, stuff with celery, put it in the roaster,  surround with onions
cooking down the giblets- this is actually for tomorrow's dinner. Tonight was ribs.

blending the smoothie

beautiful smoothies with cinnamon

mashed cauliflower with bacon

green beans

dinner!

my plate- That's a piece of chees on the cauliflowr. Tonight was the first night for a little cheese. We aren't into phase 2 yet, but Dr. said we could add cheese-might help our daught to eat a little more, she's losing too much weight. Can you tell I took a half a garlic! yum!

dessert- apple muffins with topping choices
frozen smoothie, vanilla pudding, cooked down berries, strawberry sauce, blueberries, whip cream, pecans, walnuts

writing up the recipes with my 2 fave guys on the TV. Fred and Gene. Love them!

Frozen berry smoothie

@ 2 C. greek yogurt
equal amount of ice
juice of 2 lemons
@1 C. frozen strawberries
@1 C. whipping cream
@ 1/2 C. water
8 - 10 drops stevia
cinnamon maybe 1 1/2 T ??

(later I added to this recipe- 1 more dropper full of stevia, 2 more handfulls of berries, more rice milk)

turned out pretty good, maybe a little sour- could use more stevia and whipping cream maybe
we each drank a cup, and I froze the rest in a bowl
Do you think it will scoop like ice cream later?
If it does, I will serve it with whip cream and strawberry sauce- sounds pretty good I think...

It's later.... the answer is no. It froze so solid- like a brick! We nuked it a little to soften it so we could eat it. It's a little on the sour pucker up side. I think next time it needs a little less lemon and a little more stevia. I wonder if more whipping cream would make it freeze a little softer.
