The holidays may be over, but we can still be jolly. With the Fasting Lifestyle we can enjoy the food we eat, feel virtuous due to the discipline of Fasting, and enjoy the fun of watching the numbers on the scale go lower.
Laughing Herb Omelette 287 calories PB [GF if you remove the toast and add more fruit]
1 ½ eggs HINT: If you are serving one person, crack three 2-oz eggs into a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Whip up those eggs and pour half of their volume, into a jar with a lid and put it in the ‘fridge for next week 1/2 section Vache Qui Rit [Laughing Cow] cheese 1.5 Tbsp fresh herbs 3 oz apple ½ slice bread 5-6 oz green smoothie or fruit smoothie or natural apple cider blackish tea or blackish coffee or hot water with lemon
Whisk the eggs and herbs together. Take the cheese from the ‘fridge [HINT: keep it cold so that it will slice better] and slice it into as many thin slices as you can. Spritz a hot non-stick or cast iron pan with cooking oil and pour in the eggs/herbs. When the bottom begins to set, lay the cheese slices over half the surface of the eggs. Cook to your degree of doneness, fold and plate. Slice apple, toast bread, shake up the smoothie, pour your hot beverage and laugh along with the cow.
