Eloisa Faltoni — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 10:19:27 +0000

Chicken with curry is one of my favorite dishes, since I remember I’ve always loved it. It is part of the tradition of many different cultures, from China to India. It is a tasty dish and easy to prepare, although it has numerous variations. The recipe that I present today is my personal P2 version. Who says that in Phase 2 you have to give up flavor?

I hope you like this recipe as much as I do

Green Thyme Soup with Marinated Chicken

Eloisa Faltoni — Wed, 08 Mar 2017 08:36:54 +0000

For a long time I have heard a few people proclaim that they hate vegetables and although there is an increasing tendency towards vegetarianism and veganism, it seems that some vegetables continue to be unloved, especially by children. That is why today I want to propose the recipe for a spectacular green soup.

I am talking about green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, celery, cabbage … interestingly these vegetables are among the most alkaline and are essential for our body to process proteins and maintain our internal alkaline acid balance.
