Thursday was Valentine's Day. My sweet hubby knows I am trying to be processed sugar -free so he bought me flowers but no chocolate, and I am OK with that! :)
I have been Wheat Free for a week and a half and processed sugar free for 2 days. I am trying. I have to admit we went to Cheesecake Factory last night....I had the Godiva Chocolate cheesecake which is NOT made with unprocessed sugar, but I DID keep wheat free, which I am proud of.
I love to shower my family with a special meal on Valentine's Day but everyone was going there separate ways in the afternoon so I made a breakfast instead. I found a recipe Flour free cheese souffle and tweaked it just a bit with Greek yogurt instead of full fat sour cream and my choice of cheeses. Yummy! I added 2 "bacon roses", hashbrowns, fruit and Blueberry Almond Flour Muffins for a great wheat free, sugar free breakfast. Hubby who likes traditional foods and slightly picky mom who is diabetic all loved it!
It CAN be done! I thought it was success. Now, I like reading the comments under recipes because I can get a feel for the recipe. The muffins did not have any but her picture was too good not to try them! I thought I would tell you we really liked them, served warm, with REAL butter. They were a tad heavy vs. traditional ones and definitely not as sweet. The only thing I would change is try to figure a way to use less almond flour so they are not as heavy. Really good for REAL food when you are used to prepackaged "cake" as breakfast fare.
I love learning to eat healthier but it can be a challenge when we are bombarded with unhealthy foods at every turn.
Eat REAL. :)
