Chicken Soup






A low carb Whoosh is when you eat the right fat burning foods and you loose 1-5 pounds of fat in a few days. This chicken soup is one of the fat burning recipes you can use.
8 ounces of chicken cut up
4 packages of individual chicken broth packages (low sodium)
1 cup celery (tops, stalks) 
1 onion, chopped large
1/2 bag frozen cauliflower florets
1/2 bag frozen large leaf spinach
salt, pepper, and whatever spice you like
enough water to fill a medium sized pan (may need extra)

In pan combine chicken, water, bullion, celery, onion, and spices. Bring to boil then to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour checking to see if more water is needed. Then add cauliflower and spinach. Cook for an additional 15 minutes. Serve :)

Chocolate Baker's Mix


I may have posted a recipe for this but it is worth the repeat

In my Magic Bullet I put equal parts:
PB flour
almond flour
erythritol (found at netrition.com)
Hershey's Dark Coca

Process above mixture till it is fine, taste to see if it is sweet enough.   

I use this bake mix to make Oreos.  Take as much as you need and slowly add hot water and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to mixture, bake at 350o for around 20 minutes until crisp

I also use this in MIM (muffin in a minute)   
4 tablespoons above mixture
1 egg
1 tablespoon cream
1 tablespoon butter soften
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix thoroughly and microwave for 1 minute.

*warning I ate the mixture right out of the container it tastes like Nestle's Quick :)
