Day 6

I had a fantastic day today. I had school from 8 AM-5PM today, my fear earlier in the week was getting through school. Usually, once I get in my last class I start getting a little anxious to get home and if the teacher went a minute over class time I started to get agitated and frustrated. (all signs that the liver is out of balance). However, this week was the first time I pleasantly stayed in class until the end and didn't even find myself looking at the clock. Huge progress for me! I wasn't hungry at all, and the beauty of the program is you are allowed to EAT and MUNCH ALL DAY. I kept my energy up all day and again all my classmates couldn't believe the changes in me (either could I.) I would have never expected to get the clarity and peace that I have experienced this week. In Chinese Medicine, the Liver holds the emotion ANGER, so with cleansing you are freeing up that emotion and feeling of frustration and you feel fantastic.

So, with my new found energy and happiness (and keeping up as Silverdale's Top Chef), I kept my promise of the Cabbage and Tomatoe soup. The pictures are below. Click on them to see how yummy this super healthy and easy to make soup turned out.

INGREDIENTS AND DIRECTIONS:

Sate fresh garlic, red onions, mushrooms (i used portabella and regular), carrots, and celery.

After about 8 minutes, I added Organic tomatoes Sauce and Whole peeled Tomatoes.

Add enough water to cover all vegetables and desired amount of soup.

Once mixed together, add cut up cabbage leafs (I boiled a head of cabbage the night before) and fresh Organic Kale.

Stir and Cook for about 1 hour or until vegetables are soft.

*while on the cleanse, no seasonings or salt should be added. Thanks to the advice of Chef KIM, sateing the vegetables and garlic first gives the soup flavor.
