P.S. Full disclosure: I used pre-made pastry from the grocery so its not 100% homemade. Shhhhhhh...

Hey, no judgement here. I HATE making pie crust so I almost always buy it.

Woke up at the crack of dawn this morning (probably earlier than that, actually).

It was raining so couldn't go for a run, and there was nothing interesting to watch on TV, so .... I baked a pie.

Last time I baked a pie I subbed almost all the sugar with Monk Fruit, and though the fam couldn't tell the difference, they asked that the next time I baked a pie, I use real sugar. Jeez.

Which means one serving of this CARAMEL APPLE PIE (i.e,. 1/8 of the pie below) is 350 calories. I'm going out for drinks with the gal pals tonight so I'm gonna pass on pie today. I'll have a sample if there is any leftover tomorrow. The house smelled AWESOME though.

Looks divine!!

Yesterday was 💩. I had planned an entire day of baking earlier this week but was sidelined with having to spend the day at the bank because of fraud. 🙄 I only managed 3 dozen Cookies that came out crispy because I didn’t account for the humidity from rain. And I over baked the cinnamon rolls. 😭

That’s ok, later this week I have have time to make up for it.

Death by chocolate cookies and chocolate cookies with Peanut Butter and milk chocolate chips.

Looks delicious. How many calories (do you know)?

[Kris77 1,538]

200 for a Vente which is what size this is. Def an indulgence. You can get it without lemonade and it would be 130 calories. Got both numbers online.

Venturing back into egg territory! I give eggs up often because I don’t think I actually like them but they are considered a Breakfast staple.

Fluffy scrambled eggs, vegan sausage and French bread (not my plate as usual)

What is everyone’s favorite egg style?

Over easy or poached. The runnier the better!

I've been practically living on hard-boiled eggs (and egg whites) lately, because they're a cheap and easy Protein source that work for lunch and Snacks as well as breakfast. I just bought some mini muffin molds to experiment with making different flavors of egg bites -- I'm hoping I'll be getting my surgery soon, and I'd like to have a stockpile of them in the freezer.
