QUICK SAUTEED ASPARAGUS - HCG FRIENDLY
A quick, flavorful recipe I came up with that fits into the Dr. Simeons Hcg Protocol during VLCD phase. Add spices to taste. **Trimming the Asparagus: Just hold each end and snapping it -- it will naturally break off the tough part. You keep the flower end for cooking (and should have nice longer spears). If you like, the "tough" ends can be kept to be used in vegetable stock or for other used later. Saw this on Cook Yourself thin!

Steps:
- Heat oil or broth in large, deep skillet. Fry ground beef and onions until cooked through.
- In the meantime, blend tomatoes and garlic in food processor or blender until liquefied. Pour into skillet, over fried ground beef and onions.
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer at least 30 minutes. Add water to prevent burning and to thin out the sauce. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it gets.
- *NOTE: I follow the HCG protocol that allows limited use (up to 1TB) of extra virgin olive oil or extra virgin coconut oil per day. If this is not your case, replace oil with homemade beef bone broth.
QUICK CIDER VINEGAR DRESSING
This is a salad dressing I came up with while following Dr. Simeons HCG Protocol. It is "legal" meaning it complies with all aspects of VLCD for those following the protocol. Anyone on this plan knows the VLCD phase is restrictive and can get boring - so spices are our friends! Great on spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions - you name it. Add your protein and away you go! You can really vary your flavor depending on the combination of spices you use - this is a basic grouping...I add/adjust depending on the flavors I crave when. I love this with grilled shrimp to make my salad...on cucumbers .... with grilled chicken. Even with lettuce and a grilled burger (4% Laura's lean beef in a lettuce wrap) and a side salad.
