Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

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?

Cant quite remember what cheese but i truly could not appreciate the experience ?

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.

Carla Hall ground nut stew

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 would fight your bf for those leftovers! ?

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.

It's a mini chaffle maker (4" diameter!):

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 ), 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

Aaaand this is all I could manage.

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.

guys..... is a chaffle the same as a jaffle?

What's a jaffle?

pah ha see my dilemma?

Ohhh! Well I think that would work? (Of course, the chaffle is cheese and egg, but I'm thinking you can try using cashew cheese or some cheesetacular lactose free cheese!!!) Subs WILL work!
