It's day three. I can't even believe it. I woke up this morning from a horrible dream where I had consumed an entire box of Junior Mints. It was horrific. I was devastated. Then I remembered that the only thing I did last night after dinner was look up recipes. It took me a lot of running over events in my head before I could convince myself that it was, in fact, a dream. No candy was consumed! I love that I was so disappointed in my dream self. It just reaffirmed what this program means to me, and gave me a little boost of determination.
After I got my lazy butt out of bed, I finished my morning chores, and got the munchkin up. We made our way into the kitchen. He took off to find some toys in the living room, and I got started on breakfast. Today I was determined to attempt a
Soufflé Frittata! I set to sautéing my veggies (spinach, tomatoes, and white onion), and then I went to the refrigerator and got out my ghee! My handmade ghee! The ghee I made all by myself. I melted it, and brought it back to room temp., as the recipe requests.

Behold. Ghee in all it's melted, translucent glory. |
Then, I brought my mixer out and beat me some egg whites.
|
These peaks aren't quite as stiff as I wanted, so I beat them a little longer. |
I folded in the veggies and egg yolk mixture.
|
The colors! The colors! I always love the colors! |
Then I poured the whole thing into my little 8 inch frying pan. I'll admit, it was a tight fit, and I was worried that it wouldn't cook right.
|
It's taking over. |
But with some adjustments on the timing... It came out beautifully. Down to the very last bite. This dish was mother and munchkin approved.
|
Essentially veggies nestled in clouds. |
The only adjustments I'd make would be to include a little bit more than the 1/3 cup of veggies that she recommends, and I definitely need to be less shy about folding them in, because they sort of settled to the bottom funny. That certainly didn't effect the taste at all, just the presentation.
After breakfast, I remembered my "slimming water concoction". I took it out of the refrigerator, and removed the cucumbers, and lemons, so that I could make sure it kept longer. Then I poured myself a glass.
|
So glowy. It's like magic. |
This day is looking even better than the last.
