Brazil Butt Lift- Which Type are You?

Before you begin Brazil Butt Lift, you need to determine your body type. You will follow a certain 30 day schedule based on body type. I love 30 day programs because I think anyone can commit for 1 month. Plus, I am sooo amazed to see really awesome results in such a short time.  If you are not really sure about what your type is, don't worry. 

The "booty blueprint" is very detailed yet simple and will help you determine your type for sure.

There are 4 different schedules for the 4 different Bumbums

• Too Flat or Square
• Pear Shaped
• Too Big
• Combination

Too Flat or Square- lack volume and shape. Basically a straight shape lacking enough curves.

Pear Shape- Curvy but a little too big around the hips. Stubborn saddlebags give you a wide shape.

Too Big- You got volume and its round but its bulging and dimply

Combination- Unsure or A little bit of all 3 of the above types.

Broiled Grapefruit and Kale Chips

Last week, I tried out a couple new snack ideas that have been on my list to try for a while. Broiled Grapefruit was one. 

The recipe I had called for 2 Tablespoons White Granulated Sugar and 2 Teaspoons Brown Sugar. The sugar is necessary for the grapefruit to brown and caramelize. As you can see from my photo below, mine did not brown completely on top. Well, I just didn't want to use so much sugar. I used about half of what the recipe called for and stuck the grapefruit halves in the oven broiler 550 degrees. After about 7 minutes, took them out. Since they did not brown completely, I put a teaspoon of rum on top of each and used the torch to complete. 

Haha, you take your pick. Sugar or rum! I chose rum this day.

I like grapefruit so this was pretty tasty for me. Warm, little bit of bitterness and lots of sweetness. Next time I will have it with honey and maybe granola for some crunch.

I also tried Kale Chips. From what I've read they are a little tricky to make. Oven temperature and cook times differ across the board so this is a recipe you certainly have to experiment for yourself a few times. I drizzled about 2 tbls olive oil over a batch of freshly washed kale. Sprinkled salt, paprika and parmesan cheese. Tossed everything nice and layered it on a cookie sheet. 

Kale Before- Tossed with olive oil, parmesean, salt, and paprika

My first batch were in the over for 7 minutes at 325 and were too crispy. The second batch was much better and so was the third. I liked it, didn't love it. And I do Love kale. I guess if I ever try them again, they will get better and better. 

However, I did like the kale before it went in the oven. It was so yummy! 

Kale After- Crunchy with a little softness. Not bad.

Baked Fresh Cut French Fries?? These are The Best!!!

French fries are my absolute FAVORITE Junk food! 

They are crispy and soft and salty and oily and just delicious to me. But they can be FULL of FAT and counterproductive to indulge in. I will enjoy some fries once in a while when dining out when I know that the establishment makes good ones. Other than that, I generally steer clear. 

Today, while at the mall, I had a serious craving for french fries and walked toward the food court. I changed my mind by the time I reached the counter but decided at that moment that I would make my own once I got home. They would be fresh cut, healthier and still really tasty. 
And... I would not fall off the wagon today. So, here's how I made them. 

Ingredients
I used small Yukon Gold potatoes, olive oil and salt. 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Put on a pot of water on the stove.

Peel and cut potatoes in strips at desired thickness.

Once water boils, add potatoes carefully.

Boil potatoes for 3 minutes ONLY. Any longer will overcook them and make them mushy.

Drain potatoes and put in bowl. Thoroughly mix in 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and salt as desired.

Layer potatoes in single layer on nonstick pan. If not nonstick- spray with cooking spray first.

Cook for about 30-40 mins turning once halfway through.

You will end up with crispy fries that are moist and soft inside. 

Add salt and spices. 

Use desired dipping sauce. 

Enjoy!

Delicious!
