Time for a Post...What I've learned so far.

Geez I haven't really posted in a while. I've been moving in and trying to get settled into my new home! Plus, my weight has been changing like CRAZY lately. I'm happy to say I'm almost in the 160's though!!!! So exciting. I have 9 more days of shots and then I can eat cheese again... and milk... and different kinds of fruit!!!

I love being back to my old self again. I am not tempted by anything bad for you! We went to the grocery store this morning and the only thing that tempted me in the slightest were TRISCUITS! How funny is that? Out of everything you can find in a grocery store, I wanted triscuits.
When I'm completely done with the HCG diet I've decided to not eat any more red meats and sugars only occasionally. Lots of fruits and veggies and NORMAL "people-sized" portions. My stomach in about the size of a grapefruit now and I don't want to stretch it back out.

 I found this recipe the other day and thought it was fantastic! I served it at my house warming party as a starter with salad.

Brochette with Herbed Ricotta Spread:

-One round of sourdough bread cut into equal triangles
-Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Mix the oil with some fresh garlic and let sit for 5 minutes)
-2 C. ricotta cheese (from store or homemade)
-Parmesan Cheese (to your liking)
-Fresh Basil (chopped)
-Fresh dill (chopped)
-Montreal Chicken seasoning
-Salt & Pepper
-Fresh Chives (chopped)

After cutting the bread into equal triangles, brush with your flavored oil. Put them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven on High Broil until light brown and crisp. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and when the bread comes out, spread on each piece. Serve warm with a salad.

Hope you try this! It was definitely a crowd pleaser!!!
