Day Nine: The Joy of Cooking

I am getting inspired. But I could use some help. I don't know how long this PCP food plan is in place for me (a week before a different one comes along? or here for the remaining 80+ days?) but I know I can get bored easily with food or I want to eat the same food for three weeks straight and then never eat it again. I don't want either to happen.

Just today as I was thinking about how to make my PCP food more desirable and more cohesive as a meal, Patrick emailed us about this very topic ~ it's all in the timing. Take the time to chop and steam. And while you're at it: Think colors. Shapes. Textures. Flavors. So I tried. I had fun. Not bad to look at, eh? Tasted like a meal. Like comfort food. For dinner I broiled some deli chicken meat, cheese, tomato slices on wheat bread, and then a simple pasta-cherry tomato mix. Delish. (No elephants were harmed in the making of this meal.)

  1. Your grams will shift around every week, but you'll always be working with the same four things, fruit, veg. carbs. and protein. How you put it together is the hard part.

    We're working on a cookbook, I promise.
