DAY 29 Welcome to Phase 3

Well, we made it to the third phase! Now we can have pop, donuts, pastries, and double cheeseburgers...nice...oh wait, I just double checked...nope, we have to keep eating whole foods.
But, we can start eating some whole grains! Yea! I am going to indulge in Ezekiel bread. I know, crazy!
Last night I tried roast beef one more time. I made my mom cook it to see if it were more tender. Of course it was. To her it still seemed a bit tough, but to me it seemed like buttah...melted in your mouth. I'm sure you all know this but the biggest thing to do is cook it low temp 325, for a really long time. All the cookbooks just say like an hour and a half, but no, that is not long enough. Try 3-4 hrs! It was super duper good. I used his Worcheshire sauce and butter marinade.
We also had mashed sweet potatoes. I love this dish. I had it at a restaurant and ran right home and tried it. I bake a couple sweet potatoes, skin them, add a bit of raw milk, butter, cinnamon and honey (or maple syrup--real, of course) and blend with a mixer. Yummy! They come out really fluffy and delish.
I've been drinking that Kombucha tea. Ok, i am a little addicted to this really nasty drink. It tastes like vinegar, but it's naturally fermented so carbonated. I guess humans just like carbonation. Its a tea that gets cultured for 30 days. So it really is kind of gross, but ends up with TONS of good bacteria and probiotics and also strangely a bunch of vitamin B. They don't add anything to it so it's all natural. I only drink about 1/3 of a bottle a day (like 6 oz or less). But it may be too much for Miss Willa's tummy. She has really been having gass and pain lately so I will have to lay off that and see if that helps. Poor girl has been up several nights screaming in pain. (Or it could be the eraser!)
I bought all the raw ingredients to try my hand at making ezekiel bread. I want to make it sprouted as well. I am a little intimidated to tell truth. Sounds like a lot of work. But the boys also want pancakes on Saturday and there is a sprouted grain version I wanted to try. I think you have to sprout things overnight, so a lot of planning involved.
