Dear Friend,

One of my favorite meals is Sunday Brunch. You can easily plan a festive Sunday brunch and still stick to your IP diet.

Here are a few ideas:

• Go French and serve crepes. IP offers plain crepes (try sprinkling with cinnamon!) and chocolate crepes.

• Prepare a tray of veggies including asparagus, cucumbers, tomatoes, and palm hearts. Offer a selection of calorie free, guilt-free Walden Farms dips

• Make your own version of deviled eggs (minus the mayo!) with hot mustard, garlic, and paprika

• Indulge in IP Salmon Bisque. If you love gravlax, you'll love this recipe! Makes 1 Ideal Protein Portion Ingredients: 1 packet Ideal Protein Soup (Leek, Mushroom, or Chicken), 1 oz gravlax, 1/2 tsp crushed garlic hot sauce to taste

Instructions: Mix the soup with 8 ounces of boiling water in a fairly tall container or in your blender jar. Slice the salmon into 1" pieces and add to the mix. Add the garlic and hot sauce. Blend until the salmon can no longer be seen as individual pieces, 1 minute or so. Pour the soup into a mug and enjoy. Consider garnishing with watercress or raw onion. Strictly speaking, the 1 oz of salmon should be taken into account when you figure your main meal protein for the day. This recipe is ideal for all phases of the IP program.

As for drinks, go fruity! IP offers a delicious Pineapple Banana Drink, an anti-oxidant packed Blueberry, Cranberry, Pomegranate concoction, a tropical Peach Mango Drink, and a provide-your-own-umbrella Pina Colada Smoothie.

Enjoy!

Thinking of you,

Teri
