Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ice Cream
{Phase 2}



I am totally serious.  This will be great for doing the hcg diet on Valentine's Day without cheating!

____________________________________

4oz frozen strawberries
1/4c. cold water
10-20 drops of Chocolate Stevia (I like the Sweet Leaf brand)
5 drops or so of English Toffee Stevia
1T milk if you haven't used it for the day.  Otherwise leave it out.

After discovering this I have intentionally kept my calorie count lower so I can have a larger serving of this in the evening.  It's so nice having something to look forward to.

You could easily use other flavored stevias to have more of a strawberry vanilla ice cream or a stronger english toffee ice cream.  
 ____________________________________

Combine all of it in a blender or food processor until the strawberries are well-pureed and wala!  Chocolate covered strawberry ice cream phase 2 hcg diet friendly.  
Believe it, people.

Thank you!

Baked Apples w. Caramel Toffee Sauce
{Phase 2}


I've had this two days in a row now and I can already tell this is the treat I'm going to look forward to and savor...

_____________________________________

1 apple cored and sliced somewhat thin  (don't forget to weigh it after you slice it)

a tad bit of water
one packet of powdered stevia or a couple of drops of clear/plain stevia
two(ish) drops of {english toffee stevia};
{vanilla cream} would probably be equally yummy
a generous sprinkle of cinnamon

There are two way to cook this.

You can either:

 A. Place in a baking dish with above ingredients for approximately 10 minutes at 400F.

or if you're really in a hurry because you're super hungry 
-which technically you shouldn't be if you're dosing properly  :)

B.  Place apples in a microwave safe bowl with the bit of water.  Just enough to steam them.
Cover with glad wrap.  Nuke for 1-2 minutes depending on how firm or mushy you want the apple.  In a separate bowl mix the other ingredients and microwave until warm.
About 30-45 seconds.
Mix and enjoy....
