Cloud 9 3/4

Dinner was a complete success!!!!!!  Even my picky, I-hate-anything-that-even-sounds-like-vegetables hubby was impressed!  That right there is worth it!  Needless to say, tonight's meal, and FANTABULOUS dessert are keepers!!!

As a side note, I have noticed, even in the few days I have been "Real Fooding" it, I feel amazing!  I'm not bloated, my udder rack is not rivaling my real rack as much, I have energy, and I believe I'm sleeping better! Granted, I still want to stay in bed as long as possible!  Just 5 more minutes mom!
