Some Like It Hot! Jorge's Skinny Muffin Gets Some Flava'

OK, So by now I am sure you have figured out that I tend to obsess over certain things. Food is one of them. I am constantly trying to find new ways to make over great recipes. I love chocolate and on the opposite end, I also love foods that are spicy & sassy!

One of my favorite things to eat is Jalapeno Cheese "Anything". So why not? With a few minor adjustments this simple skinny muffin can be any flavor you want.

FABULICIOUS!

Ooh La La, Spice Up My Life!

This muffin cooked up super light and fluffy! It was also very, very moist! I used almond meal instead of the flax meal and it had a very nice "corn meal" texture which was perfect for this savory muffin. I substituted egg whites for the whole egg.

Week 2, Day 7 - Jorge Cruise's "The Belly Fat Cure - Fast Track"

Yippee! It has been 2 weeks since I started Jorge Cruise's "The Belly Fat Cure - Fast Track"

I ran again today and finished up week 2 of the Couch to 5k program I am doing. I am feeling very exhausted. I had to take a little rest today, but I am feeling much better now.

I tend not to sleep in a lot but I did get 7.5 hours of sleep. Nice!

I made a very nice Belly Good Pizza last night. Ever since I stumbles upon Jorge Cruise's Belly fat Cure, I have been obsessed with finding different ways to eat gluten free / grain free foods. Finding Jorge's Skinny Muffin was like opening a whole new door to eating healthy for me.

I played around with Almond & Flax meal and this is what I came up with:

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Cup Almond Meal
• 1 cup Flax Meal
• 1 Large egg
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 Tbs Olive Oil
• Water - small amount as needed. (Dough should be firm and a bit crumbly).
• 1/4 cup Low Sugar Tomato sauce (your favorite brand)
• Granulated Garlic
• Grated Parmesan
• Shredded Cheese (your choice of favorites, mix it up)
• Sliced vegetables: Bell Peppers, Onion, Mushrooms, Jalapenos, Olives, Meats, etc

Belly Good Pizza







DIRECTIONS:

• Press this dough into a lightly oiled cookie sheet
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes until slightly golden
• Add your low sugar sauce as needed
• Sprinkle a bit of Granulated Garlic on top of sauce
• Sprinkle a bit of Grated Parmesan
• Add Toppings - Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, Onions, Jalapenos, Onion, Meats (if desired)
• Add Shredded Cheese of your choice
• Bake again at 350 degrees until cheese is golden and bubbly!

Week 2, Day 6 - Jorge Cruise's "The Belly Fat Cure - Fast Track"

Today was another great day.  I gave my body a rest because it was a bit achy from all of the running yesterday.  I felt weird not working out, but I am trying to listen to my body more.  I will be running again tomorrow morning as I finish up week 2 of the Couch to 5k program I am doing.

I got a bit more sleep as well, it was nice.

I seem to be losing fat in odd places.  I can see that my arms are smaller and my back is smaller, etc.  I have not been weight training , yet I can see more definition on my shoulders, etc.

Week 2, Day 4 - Jorge Cruise's "The Belly Fat Cure - Fast Track"

Today is the 4th day of the 2nd week.  I am feeling really great on the program.  I wish I could get more sleep, but once again I was up late.  I managed to sleep in a little but I really need to work on this.

I am happy to announce that I have lost a little more weight on Jorge's program.  I am down another 2 lbs for a total of 8.25 lobs in 2 weeks.  I don't have a lot of weight to lose so I am very happy with these results.  I know Jorge claims that a person can lose u to 14 lbs in 2 weeks so for me 8.25 lbs is terrific!

I went for another run in my Couch to 5k program this morning.  I am in week 2, day 2.  It was challenging but i was thrilled to do the run 2 times.  I am still feeling tired from it but I also feel victorious!

Jorge Cruise's Famous Skinny Muffin - As seen on Dr. Oz.

I am absolutely NUTS about this muffin & idea. I have been making them in the morning. I tweaked Jorge's recipe to my liking (read, chocoholic), by adding 1/2 square 86% Cacao crumbled up and a dash of vanilla to Jorge's original recipe. He has new variations and you can download the recipe at his link. ENJOY! ☺

I saw on one site where someone added cheddar and jalapenos to the muffin for a savory treat, sounds yummy!
