Tummy Troubles.

The last two days we were away and I did not eat well. That was reality and now my stomach is not well. I am suffering from constipation that has caused pain to my back, made me extremely irritable and I took the day off to deal with my issues.

8:00 AM For breakfast, I was afraid to eat very much so I opted for 3 eggs overeasy with coconut oil. Throughout the morning I've been sipping on a litre of cold distilled water with lemon.

11:30 AM One orange.

12:30 AM Steamed brocolli, asparagus, and cauliflowe with 1/3 cup of fresh Hummus made by me! Here's the link to Darlene's recipe.. http://www.formerfatguyblog.com/2008/01/05/recipe-amazing-hummus.html

2:00 Drank water.. 1 Cup of Mushroom Pilaf and 1/2 cup of Red Dahl.

5:30 PM One Spelt Pita with 1 small Lentil Patty

8:00 PM 2 Nuplus.

Udo's Oil

I've gone through periods in my life when my skin is incredibly dry and I'm like an old cat at time when I need my back scratched. I was excited to hear about Udo's Oil and since I have been taking Udo's daily, I've noticed a difference in my skin and my skin doesn't hurt anymore. Not to mention, my joint pain as also lessoned. I use Udo's each day, 2 Tablespoons. I keep my Udo in the fridge and I have to mention that you do NOT heat this oil because it will breakdown the components of the oil that are beneficial. Today I made the yummiest recipe in the Edo's booklet. I altered the recipe slighly ..

1 Can of White Kidney Beans

1/4 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper

Pepper

2 Cloves of Garlic

2 Tablespoons of Udo's 3-6-9 Oil

Parsley

Pulse until blend with your handmixer until completely blended. Serve as a dip with veggies or sandwich spread. I dip baked pita chips in the dip and its a delicious snack! A great alternative to a high fat dip and a similiar hummous type choice.

Fennel.

I've always wondered about these funny looking veggies and today I took the plunge. Here is the recipe I made for dinner, enjoy!

2 Hot Italian sausages taken out of casings
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 medium Fennel bulb (put fronds to side)
1 medium red pepper cut into thin strips
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 can of organic crushed tomatoes
fresh Basil or dried Basil
Pepper

Cook sausage over medium heat until browned. Break into pieces and drain once cooked. Set to side. In pan, cook onion, fennel, garlic and bell pepper for 3 mins. Veggies will be tender crisp. Add tomatoes and cooked sausage. I actually rinsed the sausage with water to get most of the oil out. (!) Sprinkle with spices and simmer for ten mins. at reduced heat. Serve over whole wheat pasta.

I made a salad of Spring Greens, sliced fennel, cucumber, red onion and strawberries which was nice and cooling after the hot, spicy sausages.

Dressing

2 Tbsp. of Udo's Oil
2 Tsbp. of Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar Roasted Garlic
Ground Pepper
Whisk together and drizzle over salad
