Just a heads up Swerve makes stuff EXTRA sweet. I bought the almond flour for the quiche and it had a recipe on back for brownies. I thought I would do even better and substitute swerve for sugar and they were disgusting. Like biting into pure sweetener. Just a heads up if you try using this, at least taste it first and maybe make a small batch of whatever you are using it for.

Thanks! It was surprisingly good. It’s garlic or olive hummus on the carrot

Thanks for the heads up! I have yet to try swerve and now I will probably avoid it.

I worked almost all of this past week but the most interesting thing was a skillet version of ratatouille I made with ground beef added.
I mean that and I’m still on a green smoothie kick- this one is unsweetened vanilla almond milk, kale, spinach, frozen strawberries and BariatricPal Protein One Peanut Butter Meal Replacement powder (has daily Vitamins in it). Tastes like a PB&J!

Does anyone have a healthy meatloaf recipe I can have during weight loss phase? I am craving meatloaf so bad. I figured I’d ask where the talented chefs amongst us like to hang out. Lol

I don’t know but here is the recipe - I use the paprika app to store all my recipes. I use about 3 cloves of fresh garlic though - it’s probably a bit more than a tsp but I think it gives it a great flavor.

I like these, you make them in a muffin tin so they are perfect portions.
