This soup was amazing! The sliced cabbage tasted like noodles without the carbs!

I decided to get creative with the vegetables in my fridge and put together this super easy soup.

Vegetables needed:
1 bag of cole slaw mix (cut up cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, celery)
Cut up cabbage, kale
Mushrooms (I love portabella)

1 container Organic Vegetable Broth (Whole Foods)

1. Saute all vegetables in a little olive oil
2. Add Vegetable broth and about 1-2 cups of water to cover vegetables
3. Cook for about 15-20 minutes on med-low heat

Modified Cleanse

Starting today our office will be starting a modified cleanse program for people who did the cleanse last year. We are also coaching another group of people on the 21 day program. The feedback we have gotten from our patients has been amazing. One of our patients (she did the cleanse in October with us) lost 37 pounds!!! She has continued to maintain healthy eating habits and her secret to losing the weight is being more aware of what she puts in her mouth!

Prepare for summer and get that healthy body you always dreamed about. Our office is available for consultations Monday-Thursday.

Pistachio Crusted Salmon

Tonight's dinner involves the use of the oven to hopefully give me better success cooking Salmon. Last time I attempted it on a pan, but it didn't cook evenly and swas raw in the middle and tasted terrible. This time, there is a pistachio coating the top so i'm trying new things. Along with the salmon, I decided to cut up some small red potatoes and zuchini with a little olive oil, butter and garlic mixed together. Wish me luck, it's cooking as we speak. It looked nice before it went in the oven so that's a good sign.

YUM!

I left school early today because "I wasn't feeling good (cough, cough)" but I had to stop at Whole Foods to pick up some yummy food to cook for the weekend. First I made a spectacular soup to keep myself healthy. I used: carrots, celery, onions, califlower, parsnips, bok choy and wild rice in chicken broth. It came out great. I also bought some healthy munchies that I would recommend to anyone. 1st: Crispy Wheat thins with Hummus is fabulous. 2nd: Veggie chips are quite addicting (thanks Barb for the advice) and 3rd: for the sweet tooth, the healthy version of oreo cookies.

I also indulged in some very good Vermont chocolate and of course the new Ben and Jerry's Creme Brulee Ice cream and .... some healthy treats for the puppies! I have to keep it real right?


Tomorrow i'm going to make something amazing. Stay tuned.....

Good Luck!!!

To all the brave souls starting the cleanse tomorrow- GOOD LUCK!!! You will all do amazing. We all just finished our 21 days. I would have put a picture of my dinner tonight, but I burnt on the edges and the center was raw! I was only cooking the easiest piece of fish-Salmon. At least the veggies turned out ok. I'm still practicing. I'm just happy I didn't burn myself on the oil from the pan. Today marked the final day of the cleanse. It really has been great. We are all going to continue to eat very similarly and will start a couple different supplements when we are done with our other ones. I went grocery shopping today and was excited to buy different pieces of fruit and veggies. I did buy a bag of york peppermint patties for an after dinner treat. YUM! I deserve it. Enjoy your 21 days. I can guarentee you won't be the same when you are done!
