Tabasco Shrimp with Lemony Cukes and Fresh Strawberries

I wasn't sure this meal was going even cut my hunger. 

Again, I waited too long to eat and was starving.

Many temptations as I cooked my son's hamburger

And as I smelled my wonderful "bestie" Lola cook her meal too.

However, by the time I finished my last strawberry, I knew I couldn't eat another bite! Success! I haven't been hungry or craving anything all night...and it's a late 11pm. 

The shrimp was sauteed in a touch of white cooking wine.

(seems to be a favorite of mine for moisture and light flavor)  

I threw on a little garlic and granulated onion, salt and pepper.

Once cooked, which was pretty quick (5 min on medium heat), I sprinkled on the Tabasco. It was perfect!

Cucumbers: I sliced and covered in fresh lemon juice and salt. For visual and a little flavor, I sprinkled on some parsley.

Strawberries were the hardest to prepare by far!! ;) 

Green tea with the rest of my lemon juice.

Ohh so tasty and so filling! I loved the fresh aspect... not only of this meal, but about the meal plan itself on the VLCD.

One thing that I really think helps is keeping the plate of food looking good. Keep different colors on the palate. Vary the styles of food. I just hope these pictures and ideas can help someone even if they aren't going on the actual Hcg diet. 

My meals are quick and easy. I haven't been in the kitchen longer than 15 minutes cooking - at the most 20. 

PRETTY SIMPLE!!

And no... I don't use recipes ... 

I'm more of a dip and pour type of cook! :P
