Quick and Yummy Hamburger Soup

This is a great little soup and fills you up like nobody's business!

MEAT BASE
  • ground beef (the leaner the beef the better)
  • garlic (for three pounds of meat I'll use about a third to a half a cup of jarred chopped garlic. Yeah, I really, really like garlic!)
  • onions (at least one great ole big sweet onion per pound, two per pound if the onions aren't as big as softballs!)
  • Mushrooms (quartered or sliced)
  • Plantains and/or parsnips - diced or sliced into medallions, however YOU like them.
    • Ripe plantains give wonderful little sweet bites to your mixture; whereas green plantains stay firm and have a potato feel and taste to them when you bite them.
  • Bone Broth or organic broth (chicken or beef - 1 quart per pound of meat)
  • Frozen veggies of your choice (1 4-6 serving bag per pound of meat)

 Put beef, garlic, and onions in a big baking pan (or not so big if you aren't making a ton of it so you can freeze portions) and bake at 250 until the meat is done and the onions are fork tender. I do at least three pounds of meat and it takes about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so.

 Get out your freezer containers/gallon zip locks/seal-a-meal and portion the meat out about one pound per container/bag. Add your frozen veggies (peas and carrots are always nice) and top off with a quart of chicken or beef bone broth. Freeze or eat!

Strange Dreams

I'm not sure what the bad dreams are about, but they all seem to be related to different aspects of losing weight. A little anxiety, maybe? 12 April 2018 I dreamed that I was getting my first ever crochet bikini. When I tried it on, my boobs looked like they were filling socks and hanging down..,. The girl making the bikini top took one look at me and said "Too Long! Too Long!" I woke up feeling just a little humiliated! It looked like I was wearing a Tata Towel... for a laugh, look at the $45 boobie towel 16 April 2018 I gained a couple of pounds over the weekend and I know its natural and partially due to the fact that I haven't "gone" well for a while, but you can't convince my subconscious of that. I dreamed that I had gained a few pounds (probably because I have gained 2 pounds and  my jeans are cutting me around the waist); the dream progressed to me realizing that I was pregnant and being extremely concerned about how my mom would re...

Achy Breaky Feet... Hips... and Knees

Achy joints and muscles are a symptom of NCGS ***Update*** 9 April 2018 - 6 weeks with my inserts and I still feel like dancing! Daddy got his inserts today. I really hope they help his feet and hips.  _____________________________________________________________________ I'm 54 years old and up until recently I have been feeling the effects of aging... or so I thought! On 26 February 2018, I started a new job working in a warehouse a couple of months ago. I walk anywhere from a 1.5 to 3 miles a day. After my first two days, I hurt from my toes to the roots of my hair. I need to clarify that I have been behind a desk and very sedentary for the last 20 years, so I just thought the aching muscles and joints were part of the old, fat, aging process. On 28 February 2018, I went to  The Good Feet Store  and paid $400, you heard me right $400, for a pair of inserts for my shoes. I had just gotten off work and could hardly get out of my car; my lower body hur...

30 Pounds in 4 Months

I feel better today than when I was 18. Yeah, no shit! Eat clean and your body will notice.  I've been achy since I was a teenager. I always wrote it off to, not enough sleep, too much sleep, too much partying, etc... Then I stopped doing kid stuff and wrote it off to getting older.  Guess what? Getting older only has to be painful psychologically! It doesn't have to hurt physically! The weight is coming off slowly but surely at a bit less than 10 pounds a month. My clothes are getting baggier and I've started giving my "too big" stuff to my mom! She's going to have a bitchin' wardrobe!
