cloud bread cinnamon raisin nut pastry...low carb



Recommended Posts

Ok.. so first of all...I made these neato things called "cloud bread" that I found here:

sugar free Cinnamon Syrup (DaVinci, Torani, Starbucks...whatever)

Bake as directed in recipe above.

Mix some cream cheese with some splenda to taste...(sweetened cream cheese) and a little butter to smooth it out, use as a "frosting" for the "pastry".

enjoy!:lol0::001_tt2:

It's a very tender pastry Stacy..not sure it would hold up to heavy toppings. Honestly, I would add pizza type spices into the dough..and finely chop some pepperoni to stir into the batter. Then maybe just put mushrooms and cheese on top after the pastry is cooked?

I think it's a forgiving recipe as long as you remember that it's basically a meringue with cream cheese for structure.

I toasted it today and then split it open and made a PB & J with no sugar added Peanut Butter (Trader Joes) and some sugar free Grape jelly.

Yummmmmmm!:lol0:

I'm having a blast with these! I made savory ones yesterday and since each batch makes six "clouds" I made two of them into onion rolls (added 2 T broken up Durkee Fried Onions), two were italian seasoned, and two were pizza rolls with chopped pepperoni and pizza spices.

Next I'm going to try sweet again...and try something along the lines of a fruit filled danish, I think if I use No Sugar added apricot preserves it will work.

By the way...I split one of the "onion roll clouds" last night and had it with a 3 oz hamburger patty, a thin slice of velveeta and no sugar added bread and butter pickle slices, and some ketchup. You can't handle them roughly..but it held together enough that I felt I was having a cheeseburger!

Last night I split one of my cloud bread thingies that I had flavored with crushed Durkee onions, toasted it well, and then put 1/4 cup of bbq pulled chicken on it.

10 carbs total for a BBQ chicken sandwich! loving these things...so versatile

I showed this to John a couple of nights ago, and I think we're going to try them this weekend.

Do they stay fresh in a ziploc baggy? Like if I make a few, would they keep in a ziploc baggy if John wanted to make a sandwich out of them while I'm out of state next week?

Tiff,

Because they are primarily eggs and cream cheese, they get a little sticky in a ziploc. However, that's where I store mine, I just don't zip it! I think they will freeze great and he could pull one out at a time and toss it in the toaster to defrost it and get rid of any stickiness.

I'm truly loving these as a "sandwich" helper and a Breakfast pastry. I live alone and preparing a complete dinner just isn't in my game plan. However, I can fix a small healthy, high Protein, low carb sandwich and feel good. (I usually can only eat 2/3rds if I make it into a sandwich..but that's ok. The new momma dogs get the rest!).

Flavor them well, otherwise they can be bland. Adding in dry spices for the savory ones really made the difference and kept them from tasting "eggy".

Let me know what you try and how you like them!

Thank ya bunches. I really like the idea of the onion flavored ones. And, John wants some fruity ones.

I can eat bread, but it's kind of "ehh" if that makes sense. I just don't find it flavorful anymore.

Tiff,

did you try these?

I still love the ones that made into Cinnamon rolls with nuts the best. They really need the walnuts or pecans for texture and the craisins for a punch of flavor. I'm going to Trader Joe's early next week while I'm in Indianapolis and get some sugar free dried cranberries...those will be nice in this.

I should make more this week...sandwich options are getting low without them in the house.

I have not ventured into making these yet. It's supposed to storm here this weekend so maybe I'll give them a try tonight.

I've fallen love with the Thomas Bagel thins. I've several of the ingredients in my pantry for these. John was stubborn about trying them when I went out of town, and he probably wouldn't have eaten them unless I was here to encourage it. LOL

These are called "oopsie rolls"

They are a variation of Atkin's revolutionary rolls

The person who came up with them made a mistake while trying to make revo rolls that its why they got named OOPSIE rolls. Lol.

they're known by several names. The website that I found the recipe referred to them as "cloud bread".

Is there a point to correcting it?

Tiff, I wouldn't make them on a humid day. The dryer the better. I baked the last batch for 45 minutes and then loosened them from the pan and returned them to the turned off oven until the oven was cool.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
