Dessert : Biscotti.pdf

I have been playing around with the sugar content, and I have gone as low 1/2 cup sugar (vs the stated 3/4 cup) and was still good. I went down to 1/3 cup once but it was a little bland (esp cuz it was a chocolate flavour base).

Am going to try with the extra egg + the egg wash from @catwoman7's link above next time....

Thank you. She will enjoy doing this.

Steak salad. Hubby ended up with about 1/3 of it. It was super yum!

Is that blue cheese I see dotted in your salad? So good. Have you tried letting a wedge melt on the top of your steak before serving. Delicious.

That is Stilton. I have never tried melting blue cheese on my steak, but I can totally imagine the deliciousness! 😋😋😋

Today’s salad with baked chicken breast. I should have added avocado, but I didn’t want to cut anything else up. 🙄 I am going to eat the whole thing, even if it takes an hour. 😂

Continuing the salad parade, here's mine.

Drank 1/2 the can of the Caesar drink as an apéritif (lol), then the salad, and then had an almond biscotti chaser.

376 calories..biscotti cals estimated. Ate it all.

Don't think I'm going to drink the other half of the Caesar as the taste is off-putting to me. Mango & Clam juice is no bueno. BFF gifted me an assorted 6 pack of "limited edition" flavours and so far, NOT so very good. I've had the The Works one and the Pickled Green Bean one, both of which are just meh.

I’m in the middle of stress baking and started with carrot cake (top ones) and morning glory muffins (bottom ones) Ate half a carrot cake muffin about 2hrs before dinner and then had corned beef (ate about 1/2oz before picture), homemade pickles and salty roasted potatoes.

I have plans for more baking that include a lemon poppyseed loaf, chocolate chip muffins, cranberry orange biscotti, and some kitchen sink Cookies and maybe something else who knows.

Made rissoles yesterday afternoon. I used to make them with my mum as a child. Had them with a brown gravy made with all the bits left in the pan. Gotta love comfort food.

I had to google that.

meat, good. Fried, good. Mini, gooood.

P.S. I was staring into the pic and that second rissole from the bottom, second from the left started to look like a piranha face popping its head out of the Water. Now I can't UNSEE it.

Greetings fellow baker! Can't wait to see all your other creations, yum.

...You know, I've yet to make an acceptable batch of muffins. Now I want to try to do it today.

I am beginning to feel like @ms.sss 😂 Today’s salad. Back to steak. This is going to take me several hours to finish, but I believe I will do it. I am actually very hungry today. I finished about 1/3 during the first go. If there is any left when hubby gets home, he will definitely grab it, so I have about 3 hours to finish 😂

OMG. I didn’t see that at all. Now I’m glad the piranha is smothered in gravy & I can’t see him. 😆😆

Didn’t anyone make you rissoles when you lived in Australia? They are the best. Basically a meatball but in a rich brown gravy not a Tomato sauce. You just got to get those crunchy bits around the edges. Also great warmed & smushed on white bread with some of the gravy or a little BBQ Sauce drizzled on top. Like a mince roll. Please tell me you had one of those when you lived here.

I recommend a recipe that calls them “bakery style” as they’re the best when it comes to the crumb you want from a muffin and the sour cream can be replaced with Greek yogurt to up the Protein content without changing texture. Plus, they stay fresh longer.

      Hey guys new to the process looking forward to this new life.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
