Oh yum

I did good:

Chicken broth in skillet...maybe 1/2 cup, didn't measure...enough to make sauce for one serving
1 clove of garlic, pressed
little scrape of fresh ginger
little scrape of lemon zest
juice of 1/2 lemon
garlic/herb Mrs. Dash
salt (I know...the spice blend is good, whether you use salt or avoid it)
about 1TBLSP apple cider vinegar
1tsp or so of Bragg's Amino's
1/2 tsp xanthum gum
stevia to taste (about 1/2

Cook the garlic in the broth until it's soft. Add the xanthum gum and let sauce thicken a little more than you need. Add other stuff...and sweeten last. Throw in 100 grams each of chopped cooked asparagus and shredded chicken breast. Mine was already cooked...I baked a bunch of tenders earlier in the week and divided them up into servings.

Man...I'm either so out of the loop with regard to real food that I'm easily impressed, or this is delicious! I made it coz my husband just went to pick up Chinese carry out. It's like....lemon garlic sweet and sour.

Sounds divine!

That does sound great, P2 or not!

you know what, catkin?? I hope, hope, hope I can remember how much I've enjoyed some of these very healthful things I've eaten during the two months I will be on plan when I move onto the other phases and am allowed more stuff. I think my taste buds are in better shape right now than they've been in a long time. I know when I would do Atkins induction, after a couple of days, something like a walnut would taste like candy to me. It's kind of like that now. Except I would KILL for a walnut

I've had the same thoughts. This hcg journey has reminded me how easy and pleasant it is to cook fresh foods for myself and to completely avoid packages and chemicals. And it has reminded my taste buds what real food tastes like. I hope and pray that I can remember that when I've moved on to the next stages.

You will still love fresh, naturally prepared, healthy foods when you get to P3/P4 if you don't immediately garbage up your tastebugs (as my daughter called them) with cr@p foods. It is one of the nicest things now just to really ENJOY my food and have enough be enough.
