This is one of my recipes from <a href="http://www.skinnystove.com/" target="_blank">SkinnyStove.com</a>. I've been craving the Sweet Balsamic Tomato Bruschetta for the last couple of days. Yesterday I went to our local farmers market and I got what I needed to whip this up. So fresh and so good.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://lyngenet.com/" target="_blank">Lyn-Genet Recitas</a> author of The Plan says that Greek yogurt, asparagus, and many other "healthy foods" may be causing me to gain weight. My first thought was, What? Second thought, that's why I'm not losing weight even though I'm doing everything I've been told.<br />
<br />
Before I bought the book I did my homework.<br />
<br />
This First magazine <a href="http://lyngenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/The-PlanFIRST.pdf" target="_blank">article</a> explains the plan in great detail. It's a good start.<br />
<br />
Lyn Genet's <a href="http://lyngenet.com/" target="_blank">website</a> also has a ton of information. If you sign up for her newsletter you will see links to old newsletters and receive new ones with a lot of good nuggets.<br />
<br />
There are also some groups and forums out there where you can see what others are saying about "The Plan". These are the two I've learned a lot from.<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;">So when I was done doing my research guess who <s>ran out and got the book?</s> OK, I didn't run out, I ran to my phone and bought it on Kindle. I probably could have attempted this without the book but I really don't like going into things not fully educated. I don't want to waste my time with something that I may mess up on because I didn't arm myself with the correct information and the right tools. </span></span></div>

I did however do the yeast test before I got the book. I figured if I needed to take the probiotics for a week before I could start "The Plan", then I wanted to get it started. </div>

On Sunday I spent the day drinking beer (it was Superbowl Sunday after all) and Sunday night eating chocolate. The next day I did have some white coating on my tongue. Not a lot but enough to not want to take any chances. Can I tell you it was not easy finding probiotics with 30 - 50 billion live cultures? I found several with 1 billion and even a few with 10 billion. I finally found one with 30 so I got it. Found it at Rite Aid for $24.99.</div>

I started taking these yesterday so I will be starting "The Plan" on Monday. This is perfect. I'll have enough time to read the book. This week I'll create my shopping list. I'll post it when I'm done. On Sunday morning I'll do my shopping and the <a href="http://lyngenet.com/food-prep/" target="_blank">first three days prep work</a>. And then on Wednesday, I'll do the shopping and prep work for the next five days, and then so on. Here's a <a href="http://lyngenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Fall_Winter-1-20.pdf" target="_blank">guideline</a> for day 1 - 20.<br />
<br />
From reading the boards and forums it sounds like The first three days are very time-consuming if you don't prep. I want to make this as easy as possible. I don't want to have any excuses for not following through.<br />

Here are just a few reasons why:</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">*A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">*If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it’s usually more interesting.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">*Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">*Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">*Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">*Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her!</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”, here’s an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566312411825414611.post-15856342392124973712011-11-01T09:58:00.000-07:002011-11-01T09:58:10.715-07:00E.A.T. for the Kitchen (DIY Project)<div style="color: #666666; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; line-height: 18.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w1epcIngyZU/TrAjkCFonSI/AAAAAAAABtU/jmVPoEW6Y9A/s1600/DSCF8391_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w1epcIngyZU/TrAjkCFonSI/AAAAAAAABtU/jmVPoEW6Y9A/s320/DSCF8391_1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I have a spot on my wall between the dining area and my kitchen that I just didn't know what to put there.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UJ1nMFEVbco/TrAjGHAVYRI/AAAAAAAABtM/RquaLThWFU0/s1600/DSCF8383_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UJ1nMFEVbco/TrAjGHAVYRI/AAAAAAAABtM/RquaLThWFU0/s320/DSCF8383_1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I didn't want a picture and I didn't want any type of shelf. I already feel like my counters are crowded. But it is so plain and boring.<br />
<br />
Then I saw this...<br />

The letters were $3.50 each but I had enough coupons for 40% off each one. The paint was on sale for 50 cents and the brush was on sale for 13 cents and the varnish was $6.50 but I used a coupon for 50% off. Total price for this project $17.60 (before tax). What I paid for with coupons <b>$8.08</b> (before tax).<br />

Oh MyLast Sunday I went to the opening of one of my clients play. It was fantastic and my client was outstanding. The reviews are pouring in to prove it. After the play they had a party but I had to leave to get to a bridal shower that I'd already committed to. <br />
<br />
On Monday, I drove to downtown LA. Then on Tuesday, I had to drive to Santa Monica. Monday wasn't bad at all traffic wise, but Tuesday was horrible. It's been awhile since I've had to make that trip. I can't say I've missed it.<br />
<br />
This week I came up with a few recipes.<br />

Yesterday I was searching the net looking for dinner ideas when I came across <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1199764095">Kalyn's</a><a href="http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2011/06/recipe-for-seven-layer-tostadas.html"> Kitchen - Seven Layer Tostadas</a>. First thing I read was, "If you're a fan of Seven Layer Dip,"... Yes, yes I am.<br />
<br />
Because this isn't the healthiest of dinner choices I've made some changes. First, my version is a ten layer for J and T and a nine layer for me. I chose to have a small amount of cheese on mine, so I omitted the meat on mine.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ten Layer Tostada</span></b><br />
<br />
The layers<br />
Layer 1: Corn tortilla - I fried in grape seed oil.<br />
Layer 2: Black beans - I took a can of low sodium black beans and mashed them with a potato masher and added water.<br />
Layer 3: Guacamole<br />
Layer 4: Sour Cream/Plain yogurt seasoned with my healthy version taco seasoning.<br />
Layer 5: Ground beef - cooked and seasoned with the healthy taco seasoning.<br />
Layer 6: Shredded cheese<br />
Layer 7: Diced tomatoes<br />
Layer 8: Shredded lettuce<br />
Layer 9: Diced onions<br />
Layer 10: Chopped black olives<br />
<br />

</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br /></div><div><br />
</div><div>To fry the corn tortilla, I added about a cup of grape seed oil to a medium size pot. After a minute, I tested the oil with a splash of water and I was ready to go. I placed one tortilla at a time into the oil and held it down with tongs.</div><div><br />

</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br /></div><div>Cook the tortilla for about five minutes, turning it over halfway through. Tortillas are done once they are golden brown. Place on a paper towel lined plate.</div><div><br />

</div><div><br /></div><div>Like I said above for the beans, I just took a can of low sodium black beans and mashed them with a potato masher. I added about a quarter cup of water. </div><div><br />
</div><div>For the beef, I cooked it with my taco seasoning (recipe below) and salt to taste. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm going to toot my horn and admit that I make one awesome guacamole. But this time, I used "Wholly Guacamole". I had two avocado in my hand at 2.99 a pop when I came across this. If it was any other packaged guac I would have passed. Wholly is all natural with no added preservatives. Plus, I love a sale.</div><div><br />

For the fourth layer, I took half a cup of low fat sour cream and half a cup of plain yogurt. I mixed it with my taco seasoning and salt to taste.</div><div><br />
</div><div>For the rest of the layers, all you need is the ingredients (onion, lettuce, tomato, olives and cheese), a cutting board, a knife, and a grater for the cheese.</div><div><br />

Not something I was planning on. I didn't even watch the wedding. The news clips were enough.<br />
<br />
As I turned on the TV to catch the last ten minutes of Oprah, she was MIA and the royal couple was landing at LAX instead. I was hooked as soon as princess Kate stepped off the plane.<br />

I did not eat for ten days. I spent those ten days on the <a href="http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-lemonade-diet-master-cleanse-diet">master cleanse</a>. After the first forty eight hours the hunger pains went away but by the tenth day I was so ready to ditch the lemons and maple syrup. I was so sick of lemons I didn't think I would ever have another lemon again. It took me a couple years just to take a slice lemon in a glass of water.<br />
<br />
I remember drinking an all liquid diet not being that hard to do. Once you got over the two day hump that is. But by the end I swore never to do that again. Well I guess the saying "never say never" is coming into play here because I'm doing it again. Well on a smaller level, 3 days and with juice and not lemons.<br />
<br />
I'm going to start the first day with Trader Joe's Omega Orange Carrot Juice and Beet and Purple Carrot Juice. The remaining days Trader Joe's unfiltered apple juice.<br />

I spent the whole weekend in bed. I loved every minute of it. I didn't have to lift a finger. I did, but I didn't have to when I didn't feel like it. Nyquil induced and a whole lot of free time to do nothing. What more could an over worked, need a vacation, oh so tired girl need or want. I spent the weekend watching movies on Lifetime and Oxygen. Pure joy. </div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">I also spent some time on the internet. Doing a little PI work. I was wondering what ever happened to that ex-boyfriend. The one that broke my heart twenty years ago. Was he married? Does he have kids? Where does he work? What the hell ever happened to him?</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Maybe it was the Lifetime movies that turned me into this "I got to know" gal. I found out everything I was looking for. I know he's married, has children, where he works and where he lives. His address past and present. Saw a picture of his house. Crazy and scary all at the same time. Who needs to pay a private Investigator when you have the internet at your fingertips. </div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">There were only two men in my life that broke my heart. One was <i>Lifetime Movie Ex</i>. My heart healed and I moved on. The other was <i>My Daddy</i>. The day he past away sixteen years ago. A part of my heart broke and it still hasn't mended. I think about and miss him everyday.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />

Tonight was the first time I've made tacos in a very long time. I'm a huge flour tortilla fan so when I'm craving Mexican it's usually burritos, enchilada or fajitas. Tonight I felt like making tacos so I ran out and bought some taco shells. The wrong kind for sure. It was quite comical as well as messy trying to fill those things.<br />
