It's that time of the year!!!!
swimming suit season

I started a little exercise routine and eating healthier diet. One of the worst things for me it's no diet soda, so I made a little drink that it's taking the cravings away.


make a really strong tea
3 tea bags of green tea
2 bags of ginger tea
lemon
2 or 3 packages of Stevia
mint leaves

Make the tea and let it sit for a while with the tea bags then put it in a container inside the fridge and, when you are about to eat something that you shouldn't get a long glass, put ice and fill 1/3 of the glass with tea and fill the rest of the glass with Club Soda or Sparkling Mineral Water. 
Now sit, drink and, ENJOY!!!!
 
Second problem: salads don't give you the crunch to satisfy the hunger. Solution: change the regular lettuce for Broccoli Slaw, add apple, and walnuts (mine had also chicken), for dressing a low calorie or just olive oil and vinegar, (i used oil and vinegar, dry mustard and a bit of stevia)




OK and last problem craving pizza:
 heat oven to 400 F

1 medium head of cauliflower 
5 egg whites or 3 eggs
2 table spoon of gluten free flower
basil
garlic
salt and pepper to taste

Grind the cauliflower small and mix all the ingredients. on a big flat oven tray spray some oil and, spread the mix on a thin layer of 3/4 inch. Put it in the oven for 35 minutes or until it's dry, then add your favorite "HEALTHY" toppings. I added low fat cheese and for my daughter "RICE CHEESE",  grilled onions, mushrooms, asparagus and a bit of low fat salami. Put it back in the oven for about 10 minutes.
 it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!



hope you can use these ideas!
