Cleanse Day 5: Feast Day

March 8, 2013

Cleanse Day Five: You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. Increase your water intake by about a quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing. Today I get to eat steak, tomatoes, and drink lots of water. Boring? Maybe. I felt like it would be a normal…

Cleanse Day 4: Wonder Soup

March 7, 2013

Cleanse Day Four: Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special Wonder Soup which may be eaten in unlimited quantities. Gassy. That’s today’s word of the day. So today, I started the cleanse off with a banana, a bowl of soup, and a glass of milk. Weird? Yes. I made the soup last night in the…

Cleanse Day 3: Fruits and Veggies

March 6, 2013

Cleanse Day 3: A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No Bananas (yet), no potatoes. I licked an oreo today. I didn’t eat it, but I licked it, just once. Maybe twice…Those are just the cravings talking, not hunger. Surprisingly, I felt really good today on the cleanse. Energized, cleared mind, and lighter. I started off the day with guacamole (modified): 1 avocado, red…

Cleanse Day 2: Vegetables

March 5, 2013

Cleanse Day 2: All vegetables. Like with yesterday’s fruit, eat all the vegetables you want today! Start your day with a large baked potato for breakfast (see my prep work below). Remember to drink 10 glasses of water. Enjoy your baked potato. To help you get through the day, I included my baked potato recipe below. You’re allowed to use butter. This will be your complex carbohydrate. For the rest…

Cleanse Day 1: Fruit

March 4, 2013

I found this 7 day cleanse on Pinterest. But I can’t find it anymore. It disappeared from my board, so I hope that doesn’t mean it’s a scam… I’m trying this out because I’ve never done a cleanse before. I want to be able to try out the cleanse and give a first hand account day by day. I’m a HUGE sweet tooth, so I’m anticipating some strong cravings later…

Taco-less Chili

March 1, 2013

What I love most about a crock pot is the “set it and forget it” mentality. That feeling you get after a long day of work, and realize you have a warm dinner waiting for you when you walk into your house. The crock pot is a magical thing. You can make breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts for a family of four or for yourself for the week! This chicken…

Egg Stuffed Avocado

February 28, 2013

Need a new and delicious side dish for breakfast? How about an egg stuffed avocado?! My sister sent me this idea the other day. Since I’ve been trying out different green smoothies, I had an extra half of an avocado that I did not want to go to waste. This is really easy to make and very delicious! The oven bakes the egg and the avocado gets warm and creamy…

Crab Cakes

February 26, 2013

These aren’t SpongeBob’s krabby patties. These are 100% delicious crab cakes from the bottom of the sea. My mom and I were in a mood for some good seafood. She loves crab cakes, but has not had any luck with recipes she’s come across. If you’re looking for some good southern comfort food, you can always count on Paula Deen to provide a delicious recipe. We searched the net to…

All that being said, I do also like to bake.…
