One week down...

One week down, only 2 more to go. The headaches have subsided and I feel pretty good these days. I weigh myself tomorrow but I feel like I've definitely lost a few pounds. The last few days have been fairly easy going. We have eaten mostly leftovers, although I did make us a Potato Frittata for breakfast on Friday, which I will post the recipe below. It was pretty tasty. Today, in church Pastor Brian went over fasting because he has had a lot of questions about it from church members. Here's the notes from today's service. It has some really good information to look to, to explain why we fast.

 

A few notes from church that Pastor Brian went over... 

Fasting without prayer is just a diet! 

We starve the flesh to feed the spirit.

When we become humble and empty ourselves,

God will fill us up with the holy spirit.

 Potato Frittata

 1/4 cup olive oil  

1 onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, mince

2 medium potatoes, shredded (or 2 cups of frozen shredded potatoes

1 Jalapeno diced (seeds removed if you like it more mild) 

2 tsp. salt, divide

1/2 tsp. pepper, divide

1 12.3 oz package firm tofu

2-3 Tbsp. soy sauce, to taste

3 Tbsp. vegetable stock

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and heat for another 30 seconds. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the potatoes, jalapeno, 1 tsp. of the salt, and 1/4 tsp. of the pepper. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping the potatoes regularly until they are well-browned. In the meantime, blend the remaining salt and pepper, tofu, soy sauce, and vegetable stock in a food processor until they are creamy. Add more vegetable stock as needed until you reach the creamy status. Pour creamy mixture over the fried potatoes and mix. Pour this mixture into a large, oiled pie pan. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the center is firm. Allow the frittata to cool for 10 minutes then slice and serve.
