I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I lost two weeks!


I HATE the narcissistic skinny bitch in spinning class screaming at me for 45 minutes 3 times a week and I dont see me getting any skinnier! I refuse to do unhealthy extreme diets or stop eating because Im always hungry or have cravings ALL THE TIME. Mediterranean cuisine is the healthiest-rich in flavor, light and delicious! Ill be making great healthy recipes for things we cant live without-Snacks,Pizza, meat,fish,pasta,salads and desserts! Follow me, I should be fitting into those jeans hiding in the back of my closet which I refuse to throw out because I believe someday they'll fit again!
Day ONE
salad-sliced carros and artichokes with dressing (1tblsp mustard,1tsp extra virgin olive oil 1tblsp mayo,juice of one lemon, salt and pepper)
Main dish- salmon carpaccio with arugula and parmesan cheese (3 black olives, two creminis thinly sliced, capers, olive oil, juice of one lime,salt, pepper)
Dessert-3 figs(cut them in half) with 4 caramelized nutz (put them inside half a fig) Place them together in the oven 180C for 15 min and before eating, add a drop (ONE DROP!) of honey on top of each fig.
snack-one or two oranges with chili powder (take your time to peel it while watching tv)
dinner- portobello mushroom sandwich: 1 teaspoon olive oil,1/3 clove garlic finely chopped,1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh basil,salt,pepper,1 portobello mushroom.
Prep- Preheat grill, mix olive oil,garlic,salt,pepper and 1/2 basil together. Remove stem from the mushroon and brush both sides of the caps with the olive mixture. Grill mushroom until soft in center (3 to 4 min. e/side) slice into strips.
Dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons cream cheese& 2 tablespoons goat cheese(salt+pepper) and spread over half of 1 piece of focaccia or other quality bread, sliced in half, lengthwise, add 1/4 cup arugula leaves, washed and dried, 1 slice of tomato and the prepared mushroom.
Psstt..Psstt!- Save a bite of the sandwich in case you wake up hungry at 3am hehe..

Bon appetit!
