Our Top 5 Recipes Of The Month
We thought it would be fun if we shared our top 5 recipes from the Detox phase. My husband and I surprisingly agreed on the top 4, but couldn't agree on #5. So, I listed both.
#5 - My husband chose the cheeseburger from Day 1
and I chose eggs, fried in bacon grease.
#4 - Beef Tenderloin Medallions and sauteed mushrooms & onions from Day 17.
#3 - Taco Salad from Day 1
#2 - Roasted Tomato Soup from Day 15
#1 - Butterflied Rosemary Chicken with Pan Juices (Day 2)
Breakfast - Artichoke Frittata (from SS web site) plus 1 sausage link. First, I increased the recipe to 4 servings so we'd have leftovers. And, I cut the onions in half; one onion per serving is too much for us.
Basically, you saute the onion, then add the chopped artichoke. Saute for a minute, then pour in the whisked eggs. Top with a little Parmesan cheese, then put it all in the oven (350 degrees) for 10 minutes. It looked beautiful, but there were too many artichokes. That's all you could taste. I'd recommend cutting the artichokes in half, and making up the missing veggie serving at lunch or dinner.
AM Snack - Fruit and 1 oz. of Maqui Juice.
Lunch - Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing (from SS web site). This was awesome, but there wasn't enough dressing. Since it's made from the bacon grease, you have to take what Suzanne tells you is enough. It's better than nothing. Also, I added some chopped scallions because, for me, it's not a Spinach Salad without them.
PM Snack - We had more of those awesome Rice Crisps (by Lundberg) from yesterday and fresh salsa. It's just like tortilla chips and salsa, which is a perfect treat for watching the Nascar race. (one serving is 10 chips)
Dinner - Lamb Burger, Greek Style (pg. 270). I'm not the biggest fan of lamb, so I mixed one pound of ground chuck and one pound ground lamb, together. Plus, at our grocery store, lamb is $8.00 per pound. Another reason to mix. The recipe also calls for sliced, raw onions that you place on top of the lamb burger. But, I don't care for raw onions, so I chopped them and mixed into the raw meat.
After the burgers are cooked thru, you melt 1 oz. of feta cheese on top. The taste was wonderful. It was hearty and juicy. Kind of like a hamburger with the volume turned up. I placed the burger on a lettuce leaf. Then, add sliced tomatoes and chopped cucumbers on the side. With each burger bite, we stabbed some of the veggies, too. It's very filling and enjoyable to eat.
