Hi Friends,
Hope everybody is feeling well and happy. Today as we move in to day 2 of the detox, we may be experiencing symptoms such as nausea, headaches, irritation and anxiety as the toxins leave our bodies. If you wish to continue, just remember, you’re doing your body a service by taking a break from sugar, gluten and dairy (oh, and of course booze and caffeine)…so just see how you go.

Roast Comfort Chicken
This recipe belongs to my mother in-law Monica. It’s the ultimate comfort food.
1 whole free range chicken
2 onions
6 cloves of garlic
cajun spice
1. preheat the oven to 200 degrees
2. finely chop the onions (leave the garlic unpeeled) and place in an oven proof dish
3. place the chicken on top of the onion and garlic, sprinkle liberally with the spice, cover tightly with foil and roast for 2 1/2 hours
4. Once the chicken is cooked, carve and put back in the oven uncovered for a few minutes to brown
Enjoy!
Mashed Cauliflower
Boil a whole head of cauliflower, chopped into small pieces or a bag of frozen cauliflower will to. Once cooked through, drain water, add a little olive oil, salt and pepper and mash
Steamed Greens- can be any variety of greens beans, spinach, kale, broccoli. I steam them in foil with a little water, olive oil and lemon juice until wilted; not for too long in the oven, ten or so minutes
Enjoy, sleep tight.
