Day Twenty-three

Today was a really good day. I felt much better this morning -- probably because I'm taking my levo, duh! I did notice when I woke up that I had a lot of air in my stomach. I use a CPAP machine, and I think, since I've lost so much weight (14 lbs) that it is blowing a bit too strong. I'm going to turn it down a notch or two and see if that helps.

I worked briefly this morning, then came home and made a brunch of pork loin, pan fried rutabaga, and blueberry-pomegrante smoothie. Went downtown to take a major exam (I think I did pretty well on it), then came home to make dinner.

First, I sliced the sweet potato most of the way through (see picture). I poured olive oil over it and sprinkled grey salt, garlic powder, and rosemary over it, and put it in the oven. Next, I sauteed some kale, fresh basil, fresh cilantro, shredded carrots and shredded grey squash, I sprinkled in some garlic powder and grey salt (no rosemary in this one). While that was cooking, I pounded a buffalo flank steak out flat and sprinkled it with the same seasonings (garlic powder and grey salt). Then I spread the kale mixture on the steak and rolled it up and secured it with a toothpick. I browned it all the way around and put it in a baking dish, draping uncured bacon across the top. I put it in the oven with the potatoes to finish cooking. This was jammin!! Even my boyfriend was ooohing and aaahing. This recipe is a keeper!
