Ok, sorry to clog up the feed so much lately!

I just love those little egg poachers! I've been making this green Soup for a long time and I only just started making "tofu" out of egg whites (can't have tofu). And if you have trouble with eggs, you should totally try this method. You season them how you wish: yesterday was mexican with salsa, today is asian with five spice, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, sesame oil. Then poach or nuke em in a bowl (20 second intervals in the micro until just done--takes 2-4 sessions). Then cube them and drop them in your Soup. Tender, delicious. This made 2 cups (2 servings) of fabulous and comforting soup and took all of about 5 minutes to throw together and about 10 minutes to cook. #dangdelicious!

Here's the ingredient list. Each time it's different depending on which veg is lurking in the freezer.

2 servings totals: 255 cals; 32g protein; 6g fat; 16g carbs; 8g fiber; 8g net carbs

per serving: 178cals; 16g protein; 3g fat; 8g carbs; 4g fiber; 4g net carbs. Score!!!

So just egg whites in the poacher, then sliced?

I added whatever spices or sauces. This one was asian so I did:

5 spice powder

ginger powder

garlic powder

Walden Farms Asian Dressing (1tbsp)

1/2 tsp Sriracha

Pepper

1/8tsp sesame oil

egg whites

*****

the other day I did mexican so I did:

1 tbsp salsa (your choice)

cumin

coriander

garlic powder

pepper

*****

I also did italian

1 tbsp marinara

basil

oregano

garlic

And then either poach em or nuke em in 20second intervals until done. It takes me about 3 intervals in the micro and about 7-9 minutes on the stove top with a lid and barely simmering Water.

Made this for the Kid’s Breakfast this morning...it was so pretty I had to take a picture of it AND take a bite as well. Broke my no-regular-bread-unless-on-vacay-rule...it was definitely #yum, but I probably would have been just as happy eating the avocado part sans the bread...

Avocado Toast: 1 slice 12-grain bread + 3/4 an avocado + lime juice + onion salt + pepper + smoked paprika.

*No nutritional info this time...I only ate 1 bite of this so am probably just gonna log 1/8 serving of some generic avocado toast entry in MFP.

You gotta! World Market has tons of em right now.

You're gonna go coo-coo for them. Use my recipe or the link in my post here. It tastes just like bread and isn't eggy since there is no yolk in it. I never use yolks in my low carb bread analogues cuz it makes them taste burned and eggy. Yuck. I do use them in Rev Rolls, but protect how brown they get.

Lunch: Today is was chicken parm. Its not the healthiest or lowest calorie meal but i didn't have Breakfast so I guess its ok. Actually I haven't even had dinner yet, Ive been running around all day. My bf ate the rest.

ps: I know its weird to put the cheese at the bottom instead of on top of the sauce but I like it sticking to the chicken lol

Ok, so this is a meal that filled me up. Actually stuffed me. I should left 1/4-1/3 on my plate or stopped with having 1oz of avocado rather than 2oz and leftoff the bacon.

I haven’t tried tofu since surgery but if it doesn’t sit well I'm definitely going to try this out! I wonder if it would hold its shape in a stir fry?

yummm hot and sour Soup sounds good right about now lol

Yes, I think it will hold up in a stir fry, just make sure it's the last thing added and toss gently.

The texture is almost like a japanese omelette. Very delicate and silky.

If I didn't already have a ginormous salad on my lap right now that I'm working on (we are watching TV!) I would totally make that, dash waffle maker or not! Seriously, that looks effing delicious.

[ms.sss 14,645]

P.S. @FluffyChix...is that a MUG WARMER ?!?!!?!?

[FluffyChix 17,409]

You can make these in a normal size waffle maker. Just put 1/4 of the batter in the center of it and press it down. The will make a cute little round shape. It doesn't spread cuz the batter is very thick. Have fun watching TV!!! (It was seriously honking good and 2 hours later I'm still full. Miracle.
