R2P3D6 (+1.0 LIW)

Not bad, not bad.  1 lb over last injection weight.  I am happy with that.

Sorry about the no post on Friday.  I was out of town having a crafty day with a girlfriend.  I brought P3 snacks, ate out and kept my weight in range.  Wahoo! 

Here are my promised measurements from round 2:
Arm, 2" above elbow: lost .75 inches
Waist, 2" above navel: lost 3.0 inches
Hips, 2" below navel: lost 6.25 inches!!!

That last one was really hard to measure this time and may be a bit off.  Now that my waist is smaller, I am curvier and the darned tape wouldn't stay in place.  LOL.  Now I know why I need new clothes.

Here is another yummy recipe.  I am sure you have heard of making mock-mashed potatoes with cauliflower.  I actually made a batch a few years back, but I didn't like it.  I decided I had to conquer this one.  I think I did.  My husband liked the results, but my kids did not.  In my defense, the 8 year old doesn't like any potato products so no surprise she didn't like Fauxtatoes.  And my 3 year old liked the first few bites (he kept calling it hummus), but didn't want much more.  Well, he is 3 and he is fickle.  LOL.

I wanted these to be creamy and a little tangy.  I really didn't want to taste the cauliflower.  I didn't measure exactly, but I approximated my amounts below.  Keep in mind that heads of cauliflower vary greatly in their sizes, so you may need more or less of the ingredients listed below.  


Deluxe Fauxtatoes
1 head cauliflower, cut into chunks and steamed until fork tender
3-4 oz cream cheese
1 Tbs butter
2 oz cheese (I used cream Havarti, but it would be good with cheddar too)
3 Tbs chopped scallions
salt and pepper to taste

Place steamed cauliflower and next 4 ingredients in food processor and process until smooth and creamy.  Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.  Makes 4-6 servings.

These were done long before our chicken, but they reheated well in the microwave.

Enjoy!
Amy

  3. Congrats on losing those inches!! Great job!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. Even though I'm not doing HCG per se (eating more protein and veggies) and not doing the drops, just the same diet foods at about 700-800 calories, it is great to know of other HCG bloggers!
