My 'diet', 'cleanse', or whatever you want to call it has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I do feel SO clean! I feel accomplished and I feel challenged. The original purpose was to 'give up processed foods, gluten, and dairy for lent.'
What did it turn into?
A lifestyle. I have no intention of reversing all the hard work and preparation its taken to get to this point. I love how good I feel and how 'clean' the fuel I give my body is.
Cheesy?
Ya, probably. That's ok. I get one body and one chance to take care of it, so for me this has been a fabulous way to do that.
Enough of my cheesy saga, how about some recipes?
This week's recipes have been some of my absolute favorites!
First up: Louisiana fillets and baked broccoli and cauliflower
Louisiana Fillets (http://www.paleoplan.com/2010/01-03/louisiana-fillets/)
- Tilapia
- Coconut oil (was so excited to use this because I've had it but haven't used it!)
Baked Broccoli and Cauliflower
- I prepared this just as I would kale chips! Refer to:http://jessicadoesclean.blogspot.com/2014/03/challenge-kale-and-sweet-potatoes.html
- Holy Moly! I don't know that I will eat broccoli and cauliflower any other way ever again!
Next up: COMFORT FOOD!
Shredded chicken with home made barbecue sauce and ginger-lime coleslaw and sweet potato fries
FINALLY! I found some 'comfort food' healthy style.
Essentially I put chicken in the crock pot for 6.5 hours, per usual. Then just shredded it with a fork.
