I broke the fast in the afternoon on day two at a point when I couldn't focus on an email at work. Walking up and down the stairs was impossible, too. I was weak, shaky, and I kept having random crying fits.
...but I do tend to be a bit dramatic when it comes to food.
Anyway, we have been back to our regular eating schedule for the past week, with nothing really exciting to report. Ken is coming down with a cold, and he was craving a bowl of something warm. I obliged my sicky husband by making a simple chili. But that's not exciting.
What is exciting, and maybe a little bit sad, is that I found a biscuit recipe that I may like better than my prized Paula Deen biscuit recipe. Crazy, I know! I made a modified version of the Buttermilk Biscuit recipe from Yellow Rose Recipes. I made these rather than my regular go-to recipe because I didn't feel like fooling with the shortening. And I'm so glad I did! They are spectacular. I think that my slight modification made these already probably awesome biscuits extra super delicious.
Rather than using 3/4 cup of soy milk (because I was low on soy milk...) I substituted 3/4 cup of unsweetened soy yogurt (Wildwood) and whisked in just a bit of water to make it runny. I skipped the lemon juice part, since the yogurt already has a tang to it. Whoo boy! The biscuits were moist, fluffy, and light as air.
Here's our table tonight of entirely too much food. Chili, salad, biscuits, and prepackaged "Health is Wealth" buffalo wings.
Ugh. I'm so full.
In other news, Miles knocked this cupcake container off the counter. What is it with Mile and messing up pretty cake? Bad kitty!

that's funny, i just had to do the reverse sub this evening. i used soy milk soured with cider vinegar in place of soy yogurt & decreased moisture a bit. worked fine!
That is funny! What'd you make?
sorry the juice fast didn't work out the way you wanted. Jared and I are actually doing a 1 maybe 2 day juice fast/detox this weekend. I hope to make it at least the 1 day!
the biscuits look amazing! i can't get enough biscuits.
by the way, about the cookies in my last post, it is a recipe that I made up. i'd be happy to share with you. Our computer crashed a few nights ago, so it may be a while before I can hunt down my recipe.
I'm not sure I could last as long as you did! I think it's great that you tried.
Thanks for recommending those biscuits from yellow rose. I am always wanting to make bicuits but am weary of recipes.
The great thing about cupcakes is that they taste amazing even if they look messy!
Fasting in any form is so hard to do. I'm not sure I would last even one day! Your biscuits and chili sure look tasty!
Bad kitty, indeed hehe. My puppies are quite naughty around food too! We always have to be careful not to leave chocolate anywhere near their reach, because they will take any opportunity to eat it! The other day, they found some gum in my mom's purse!
