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

Happy birthday @GreenTealael. We’re almost twins. My birthday is Sunday. Won’t say how old I’ll be but getting close to one of those scary decade ages. ?.

Marry Me Salmon.

This was a hit with the family and reminded me that sometimes cooking is an act of love (because it was a multi step meal and I just want to air-fry everything now)

That looks good but does anyone else get dumping from heavy cream? Five years out and only 2-3 things truly give me issues and heavy white cream dishes are at the top of the list.

This was a fun dish to make. It was the viral zucchini and feta dish that was trending in social media a few months ago. Roasted chick peas, feta with dill and mint and baked zucchini. Not bad but wasn’t as tasty as the time it took to cook.

It happened to me the in first year after my revision, but now after 5 yrs it’s more of an aversion because I completely avoid rich creamy sauces and soups.

I’m glad I’m not the only one trying viral dishes ?

I went out for a late coffee/tea with BF and got a Tarta de Santiago. I really like the flavors and almond flour consistency. Now I want to learn how to make it with a sugar substitute because I can only have a few bites before I have to stop.

Birthday cake! I only eat cake 2-3 times a year now so this one was special.

Happy Birthday! That cake is so cool

thanks google for telling what tarta de santiagos are, lol

i've made many an almond cake/cookie/tart with sugar substitutes. i've had the best luck with the coarser or granulated versions of monk fruit sweeteners.

i've also just reduced the amount of real sugar by half and replacing with ½ amount of left out sugar with of almond flour. works great...and still delicious!

I didn’t know what they were either. I just assume everyone has more foodie knowledge than me and I’m just trying to play catch up ?

Oh and great tips! I always have trouble with substitute flours and sugars in baked goods. This winter I may return to baking again. Thanks
