What the *%#@ is Tempeh???



So it is Day 6 of the cleanse...one more day and we are onto phase 2. So far I have loved everything on the menu for the most part....that is until this morning! We opened our little recipe guide and looked up the day 6 breakfast....it was Baked Tempeh! What the hell is tempeh??? Welp, I am still not sure what it is exactly, but I do know one thing...it is NOT my first choice for breakfast. It's not even my second or fifteenth choice, but we followed the recipe and ate it all up. It was edible....which is good, but I was in no way savoring every bite! Paired with the tempeh we had a slice of whole grain toast and a 1/2 cup of steamed spinach. Thank god for the bread cause I made a little sandwich out of it to cover up the taste. Just the look of it grossed me out...I will refrain from sharing my thoughts on what it resembles because I am 30 years old. When I was baking it, I told myself while eating I would just imagine that it was a french toast stick....That was a nice try! 
Onto lunch...

 Lunch hit the spot, it was Quinoa Salad and a Microgreen Salad. By the way, if you are interested in getting any of these recipes you can find them at the Ultimate Reset website http://www.ultimatereset.com/ , I know you are all DYING to look up hot to make Baked Tempeh!

Sorry couldn't turn the picture today...just tilt your head!

 As for dinner, it was tasty but less food than the other days. Although I was not hungry when I was finished I still wanted to eat. Dinner consisted of a Roasted Root Medley, 1/2 serving of Zucchini-Cashew Soup, and 1 serving of toasted Millet....that is another thing I had never heard of. Millet wasn't bad, it resembles and kind of tasted like couscous. 


Over all Day 6 was doable, but not my favorite day thus far. Just one more day of the Reclaim Phase and then it is onto Release....ahhhhhhh!

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
