Another week down or day 17 if you started the cleanse on Feb 1st. Joanne sent us this lovely guided yoga practice to help keep us moving forward. Thanks Joanne!
For dinner Sat night I roasted a free range organic chicken tucked in with potatoes for Ken and sweet potatoes for me. I like to rub the chicken with olive oil, salt, and crushed garlic and then sprinkle with lemon juice and fresh rosemary. What's so nice about a roast chicken is the left-overs, which I had today on a Super Green Wrap. I found these wraps at Market Fresh in the corner of the produce section. Love them!
Having the day off today, I dug out my old and very well used Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cookery. Her recipes are so simple but there is definitely a knack to cooking the spices just right so as not to burn them. I made her Red Split Lentils with Cumin Seed and over-cooked the cumin a little. But it still tastes yummy and so satisfying. Here's Madhur and the recipe. If you don't have a good Indian cookbook, this is classic and I highly recommend it amongst your cookbooks!
How is your cleanse going? Any interesting observations? Not having my weekend coffee was challenging. I nearly caved. But I made a cup of white tea (which is green tea) with frothy soy milk and it almost took the craving away.
Has anyone told you that you look great? One of the benefits of this cleanse is that it gives your complexion a healthy glow. For an amusing read, check out
Hi everyone! My cravings have settled, surprisingly, even for chocolate and coffee. The benefit I am loving is feeling less congested, less coughing, and much improved sleep. My meals have become more creative - live wrap with almond butter and avocado for breakfast is yummy. Good luck with the next days! Elisabeth
