BREAKFAST

Picture
I was down to the last serve of Chunky Homestyle Greens 'n Beans Soup, so I repeated yesterday's breakfast with a twist.

Dirty Eggs with half a Grapefruit and Coconut Butter

Skinny Bride Mission Recipe: Fry 1 cup Greens n' Beans Soup with 4 egg whites. Add cayenne pepper, cumin, coconut vinegar and scramble until eggs are set.

I skipped the whole eggs this morning as I wanted to save my entire fat quotient for some of my exciting new ingredient: Organic Coconut Butter.

I daubed 1 Tbs ontop of half a chopped grapefruit and inadvertently invented the perfect dessert. Coconut butter is the goods. It hardens into a fondant at room temperature. It would make the most delicious, healthy alternative to cupcake frosting. I felt so decadent this morning, as though I was eating high quality frosting right out of the jar. Instead, my body was being inundated with all the health benefits of this wonder-fruit (seed/nut/whatever a coconut is classified as).

MORNING SNACK

9 Raw Organic Cashews.

LUNCH

Picture
Dave and I walked down to Blue Ribbon Sushi for lunch today. We shared a Sushi and Sashimi Platter. (I ate mostly sashimi and very little rice).

Picture
I then had a Grilled Mahi Mahi Salad with Rice Vinegar Dressing on the side.

Picture
I had a few sips of Dave's Raw Sake. 

Picture
Since my lunch was mostly protein, I grabbed a Pear on the street for dessert. Yum.

A small 2% Decaf Latte from The Sensuous Bean tied me over through an afternoon movie.
