No afters but here's today's brekky offering. I used my new egg poacher to make a poached egg + eggwhite and uncured BH salami slices. And used the air fryer to rewarm my chaffle and also to melt the 1/2 slice of 2% kraft deli deluxe with 3 slices of BH uncured salami. More cals but sooooo good in a totally different way. I actually think I prefer the egg puff better!

I can't wait to get lox at the store this weekend and also can't wait to get canadian bacon or more Hillshire Farms ham!

It was yummy! And I'm noticing with the chaffle open faced sandwiches, I actually feel "full". I think cuz of the psyllium.

Ok, sorry to clog up the feed so much lately!

I just love those little egg poachers! I've been making this green Soup for a long time and I only just started making "tofu" out of egg whites (can't have tofu). And if you have trouble with eggs, you should totally try this method. You season them how you wish: yesterday was mexican with salsa, today is asian with five spice, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, sesame oil. Then poach or nuke em in a bowl (20 second intervals in the micro until just done--takes 2-4 sessions). Then cube them and drop them in your soup. Tender, delicious. This made 2 cups (2 servings) of fabulous and comforting soup and took all of about 5 minutes to throw together and about 10 minutes to cook. #dangdelicious!

Here's the ingredient list. Each time it's different depending on which veg is lurking in the freezer. :)

2 servings totals: 255 cals; 32g protein; 6g fat; 16g carbs; 8g fiber; 8g net carbs

per serving: 178cals; 16g protein; 3g fat; 8g carbs; 4g fiber; 4g net carbs. Score!!!

@FluffyChix Wow! The eggs look just like tofu! Love it

IKR! It REALLY reminds me of the texture of soft tofu. Lovely and velvety/creamy with the same blank palette taste of tofu. I am gonna have to try hot/sour Soup with it. Actually this soup kinda reminds me of h/s soup with different veggies. :D So dang good. I could eat the egg cups and chaffles every meal and every day. LOL. They almost melt in your mouth-not rubbery or hard at all. I poached it for like 7 minutes?

Does it really really taste like cornbread? I love me some cornbread (with jalapenos & maple butter 😋), and don't want to be disappointed :(

Runner up? Second best ? Third place? 😬

The way I prepped it, the flavor reminds me of:

Without the fruit of course, but please someone else try it and tell me honestly what y'all think. I fear I'm too far gone into Sublandia 😂

Ohhhhhh Mannnnn

Fluffy/flaky but lightly sweetened and very mild coconut flavor

But that was the flavor profile i was going for. If you add jalapenos and cheese , no doubt it will taste totally different

I cant even make those for me 😂 I never earned the recipe 😩

You can follow all the YouTube you want for currants rolls... There's a step to make it taste authentic that no one is willing to share. Conspiracy!

I haven’t tried tofu since surgery but if it doesn’t sit well I'm definitely going to try this out! :D I wonder if it would hold its shape in a stir fry?

yummm hot and sour soup sounds good right about now lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
