I suspect because I'm not a huge cheese lover. I like cheese sometimes but i could live without it

Ok, well that would do it!!! So it was cheesetacular? Have you tried the skim mozzarella one with almond flour and different flavor profiles by any chance?

Totally understand! I used to be such a total cheesehead. But RBB Poops have kinda broken the spell. :)

Now, it's kinda like playing Russian Roulette with the throne and train schedules...but I have a couple of ideas up my sleeves using Good Culture (cultured 2% cottage cheese to replace the shredded cheese, plus a spoon of different Protein powders, plus nutritional yeast for savory to replace parmesan flavors. So we'll see.

Being in maintenance is bringing out the dormant foodie on the weekends. Weekdays I'm still nose to the grindstone KISS, lean, mean, and green. But weekends are more loosey goosey, now with limits. LOL!

I have wanted to try this Soup for years. When Carla Hall was on Top Chef she made this and everyone went nuts (pardon the pun) for it. I think hers might have been a vegetarian version.




I’m going to look it up and see how hard it is to make, thanks for the reminder.




*edited to add a link to hers. It has a lot of ingredients, I think I’ll make this in winter.

Oooh. My husband lived in Legos for several years as a child and my MIL makes AMAZING African peanut soup.

I attempted to eat these vegetarian chili cheese fries while on the road (the chili is on the bottom)... I didn't like it at all. Too salty and drippy. Had about 3 and quit, it became my boyfriends meal

I've had that on my Amazon wish list forever, cause it's just so cute. I don't even like waffles! 🤣

I do like cheese, and crunchy things, some kind of chaffle variant I could get behind. Maybe a higher carb version with corn meal as a base and jalapenos (and Protein Powder and cheese) ... hmmm ... served w airfried chicken .....

Actually a Fawaffle recipe is what inspired me originally to put a waffle maker on my list

Would it be weird to make pumpkin shaped waffles all year round, cause the orange matches my kitchen?? 😂

The tiny waffle Iron is absolutely perfect (especially since I never eat regular waffles anymore and a huge one is a completely wasted on me)

Pumpkin is so cute! If only i could find a StarTrek/Doctor Who version 😂

I have both the regular and pumpkin mini waffle makers. The pumpkin one is especially adorable. I got it for $10 with Amazon Prime. Just today I got a Dash mini griddle at Marshalls for $8. I don't like pancakes but I may try making "buns" with the chaffle recipe by blending it into a pancake batter consistency.

OMG. I have to get one of these, sooo cute! Just did a quick google and Bed, Bath & Beyond has one here locally for $11 CAD regular price. Will pick one up in white later today if I have time...

tHIS IS USUALLY CRAB DIP (RECIPE IS NOW ON THE RECIPE BOARD) BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SO (oh my lord damn caps lock and i can't be bothered 'unshouting' LOL sorry :D ), so as I was saying I used tuna instead, super yummy and easy to make more pureed with the obligatory 20 chews per 'mouthful'.

Before is 1/3 cup

Yay!!! We can maybe start a Chaffle thread. :) bahahaha!

So first, you should TOTES get the orange one too! And I was tempted to get the 3-in-1 version of the Dash Mini that does the waffles, pancakes and paninis. Cuz you know, you never know when you are gonna need to panini the hell outta your chaffle or pawffle! LOL. And cuz the orange is cute as crunch!

I fell down the YouTube Chaffle rabbit hole yesterday and totally effed off work in the afternoon. The one where the guy adds 5g of psyllium to the egg and cheese? It sounded SUPER DUPER crunchtastic! But there are so many variations to try! Especially that you are able to eat higher carb! I think things like garbanzo bean flour for you or quinoa flour, or medium grind cornmeal will be amazeballs!!!

I'm completely excited to receive ours today. I'm making the original version with psyllium husks as the first version for me, then having avocado toast and a soft boiled egg for dins tonight. :) I'm *drooling* in anticipation. Isn't that hilarious!? Mr. F. is gonna have a grilled pork and blue cheese with arugula chaffle treat for his dins. :)

      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!
