Fancy That!

Ok, so it's time to get those fat-storing cells to stop the maddness that comes from feeding on sugary stuff. The first thing I am doing is adding greens and fruit to my menu. Today I made a spinach cheese puff. I got the recipe off of Martha Stewart's show sometime before the holidays. I think I'll tweak this recipe a bit before publishing it. I cut the salt, but it was still too salty, and it was runny. I think I'm looking to add a bit of flour to the mix next time to thicken it more. I really wish I could reproduce the spinach dish on the menu at Calhoun's restaurants in Knoxville. I went to the grocery store and bought some fresh asparagus. I plan to steam it, then cover it with a little tomato sauce and parmesan and bake until it's warm and cheese is melted. I also bought some Glory brand seasoned turnip greens. I'll probably cook this on the stove top adding some garlic and 2 turkey necks for flavor, maybe a tablespoon of sugar.

Why greens? They help the digestive track wake up from being slowed down by carbs and sugar. It will stop the liver from converting food to fat by raising the pH in the body. You can test this by testing urine pH with test strips bought at any health food store. This has always really helped me. I don't often test the pH because I know I'm doing what I should be doing, and I trust it will work.

Lastly, I bought some Pomegranite Blueberry juice to get some antioxidants in the mix. I'm going to try some V8 Fusion Peach Mango flavor. Basically, I just want more real food going into my system, and less fast food, salt, and junk. I even found Powerade Option (the low cal version) on sale for 50 cents each at the local grocery store.

It's time for a change.
