We can make ANY diet EXPLODE with flavo, you and me, even cutting. Lets do this.

I'd like to also add that I eat beef jerky throughout the day whenever I feel the urge.

Can't you make it yourself? I've seen countless recipes on the web.

Look, i eat the same damn base foods with very little variation every day.

Proteins: Whey, egg, chicken, tuna, beef...

Carbs: Barley, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Dextrose...

Fats: Flax oil, EV Olive oil, Hemp oil, grapeseed oil...



Now, the difference between what i eat and what you eat in ESSENCE is probably NOT MUCH. I would like to help you to make this lifestyle food more than just the 6 squares a day of boredom. I fall into into the same traps too, so this will be a good stretch for me as well, to get out of the rut that i fall into.

Some of the stuff we might cover could be a bit of a stretch for some you on a flavor level: i would like to concentrate on mostly asian, south asian and middle eastern flavors, as many of you have GREAT repetoires of Mediteranean flaves... there are some GREAT cooks and GREAT pallettes on this board; Obiwan, Jenz, Velvett, just to name a few, that I hope will chime in, and i would like to put together a grid of goodies that we can cross reference for flavor matchups.. but thats later.. for now, its 'gimme your current menu' time.


I need something to work with, if your cool with this idea, I will need some full day menus from you guys, so we can get some base days together and then prepare some flavor explosions to give you the mouthgasm we all want.... from oatmeal? HELL YES! Why not?!

SO you feed me some daily food breakdowns by meal, then as a team, we can put together the stuff needed to crank it up. I will be out of town, but I wont let it die, if you want to do this up.

cheers

Chef



ps: MODS> I am sure this belongs in another forum, but for a couple days or maybe longer, could we please keep this in c&c to generate a bit of interest? Hope we can, I think this might work to everyones benefit. Thanks.

It needs work, but that is pretty easy for me. I tend to grill out alot, and I will break out the iron skillet for steak and stuff. I usually bake my fish, mostly because I don't know how to really prepare it better. I need better ways to make chicken. I am terrible with it. And I'm pretty bad with fish too.
