Day 5

Wow!!! Everyone at school says my eyes look clearer, I look brighter and seem less like a roller coaster of energy today!!! I feel like my face has gotten tighter, my pants looser, and my energy is more vibrant. Just goes to show what good food and no carbs and sugar can do for you. I've also turned into Silverdale's Next Top Chef! On this program you are forced to become creative with what you have to eat. I was really craving warm foods (in Chinese Medicine Cool uncooked foods isn't the best for me anyway), so I got some help from old George Foreman and fired up the grill. (not really, just plugged it in with less cleanup) I cut up mushrooms, peppers, and asparagus and cooked it on the grill and it was delicious. Who knew veggies could taste so good. I also steamed some broccoli and spinach, but the spinach didn't survive my kitchen. Better luck next time! Stay tuned tomorrow for Cabbage and Tomatoe soup with a yummy veggies added to it. The most incredible transformation of all is my new found desire to cook. Everyone who know me, know I don't go to the grocery store let alone cook! I actually look forward to it now, and I may have my mom convinced the program is great. AMAZING~

Directions and Ingredients:

Portabella mushrooms, asparagus, onions and green peppers.

I used the George Foreman Grill (it makes cooking and clean up so much faster.)Place a little olive oil on the grill and place veggies on for about 7-10 minutes. After a few minutes you can put a little more olive oil over veggies.

In weeks 2 and 3, George is going to be my new best friend. We get to start cooking CHICKEN on Monday. I'm so excited!!!
