Fat Burning Super Food of the Day:Cayenne Pepper


Geia sas! Today's fat burning food is cayenne pepper. So let me introduce you to it's benefits; first off it helps to increase your metabolism, improves digestion,  helps improve circulation, & helps your blood pressure get to a normal level. It promotes heart health as well. It's even is said to kill cancer cells!

This is one awesome pepper! I love cayenne, it's one of my favorite peppers. I use it on chicken, eggs, vegetables, fish, & even more. I love spicy food so that little kick from the cayenne is great for me. There is even a cayenne pepper cleanse click HERE to read about it. I encourage you to add cayenne to your regular diet!

Staying on the subject of peppers, this looks super yummy; Peppers Stuffed with Feta (Piperies Gemistes me Feta) click for the article. Its from the Saveur magazine's Greece issue.
Ingredients:
10 3"–4" Fresno chiles or six 4"–5" Anaheim chiles
9 oz. feta, crumbled
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. Greek yogurt
1 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1⁄2 tsp. lemon zest
1⁄4 tsp. dried oregano
2 egg yolks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Arrange a rack 6" from the broiler element and set oven to broil. Put peppers on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until just soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack; let cool.
2. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to whip feta, oil, yogurt, parsley, zest, oregano, and egg yolks; season with salt and pepper. Make a lengthwise cut from the stem to the tip of each pepper; scoop out seeds and ribs. Stuff each pepper with some of the feta filling; transfer to an aluminum foil--–lined baking sheet; chill for 30 minutes. Sprinkle peppers with grated cheese; broil peppers until cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 6 minutes. Transfer peppers to a platter and serve hot.

Fat Burning Food of the Day & Update

Geia sas ladies! Today's Fat Burning Food is Grapefruit. Its full of vitamin C which burns up fat before it settles; how awesome is that! An extra plus is that it helps with regulating blood sugar too.
How i eat mine; a lot of people tend to reach for the sugar to balance out the sour in grapefruit, but instead use your Splenda, it does the same job but doesn't defeat the work of the fruit .


They are so beautiful & yummy..great for breakfast. In addition it also contains more fiber than a lot of other fruits. You get more of the fiber by peeling it & eating it like an orange. Nice benefits huh?


So in the morning i will be getting my wisdom teeth removed...ah the nerves. I will update you all when i am feeling better, which is hopefully not to long after the surgery. My friend was joking with me today saying,"i hope you call me when you're all loopy" lol hopefully i do/say nothing weird. I've heard of people i know saying some odd stuff while 'drugged' for lack of a better word.

Now for a World Cup update..*sighhhhh* all 3, yes all 3 of my teams are now out of the competition as of today ending with Portugal & my Cristiano losing 1-0 vs Spain. I'm sorry Cristiano mou :(
