Favorite Bra

Well, it happened!  I need to buy a new bra, I need to replace one that is now to big.  The one that is to big is my favorite bra though, and I've had it for years.  It doesn't adjust in the band-as it is a snap closure-so the fit can't be made smaller (unless I sew it I guess-but not willing to go that far).

So I ran to my online store that I like to get my bras and hoped for the best, hoped they had one similar - or if I was lucky the same one that I could get in a smaller band size.

Guess what?

THEY DID!

Keto Waffles Recipe

 I've been doing keto for a little over a week.  Well, if I am being honest, the first week I did just as a trial-still had wine at the end of the day if I wanted it, but started officially last Thursday.  No more wine, which is something to cry about-or so I thought, so far it's not been so bad.

I have seen a lot of video recipes on tiktok for chaffles, and waffles and I've tried a few, I have tweeked this particular recipe to my own likes-and so far this is my favorite version.

I used the tiny waffle maker, that I purchased off Amazon for $9.99 (click here).  I liked it so much, I bought the Christmas one for my daughter who lives in Portland and it was only $15.99 I think.....she loves it and is now happily making waffles for my grandson Oscar.

I am not a professional cook, recipe developer or anything of that sort, this recipe may be tweaked how you see fit-add some peanut butter, coco powder, go crazy.  

What you'll need:

1/4 cup almond flour (I used a fine ground version)

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp monk fruit sweetener (you don't have to add this I just like it)

1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp heavy cream (or half and half/or water)

2 tsp of butter

What you'll do:

1. Heat your waffle iron
2. Mix all your ingredients together
3. Put a tsp of butter on your waffle iron (spray the top with oil)
4. Pour in 1/2 your mixture.
5. Cook for 2-4 mins.
6. Repeat.
7. Enjoy :)

When I plug all these ingredients into my carb manager app, it says that two waffles (a serving) is 3 net carbs.  Score!
