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

Lunch at IKEA! Sweet potato, black bean, quinoa chili.

I didn’t take any pics but I tried the two eggs one banana pancake recipe!! Yum!!!
I added a little baking powder for fluff, some vanilla protein powder and some vanilla extract -so good. Yes I drizzled syrup on it but also tried it with out and it’s so good without too!! Just wanted to put that out there. Still could only eat three bites (already at dinner a few hours ago)but it was good! Just wanted to try the recipe. Next time my kids eat pancakes I’ll make this for myself!???

Thanks again! Can these be made in the oven also? I don't use microwave?

Yes. The rise is more explosive in a microwave.

I needed something a little different tonight - tofu dipped in egg wash fried and zucchini sautéed. Low sodium soy sauce with chopped scallion. Weighed out 4 ounces (2/2) but couldn’t eat it all. I’m realizing I need to get some pretty saucers though and graduate from paper plates

Anyone interested this is the tofu I used and IMHO the easiest to work with because no pressing needed

This specific version doesn't need pressing!

I saw that. I’m going to look for that once I use what I have.

Salmon croquettes and raw veggies faux pasta (carrot ribbons, purple cabbage and kale) w/ parmesan cheese, various spices as toppings

I made this for a lunch date and wasn't even a little discreet about taking pics and offered no explanation ????

Before and After

Edited February 21, 20197 yr by GreenTealael

Yum that looks so good!!!!
Unfortunately since my surgery I can’t eat salmon anymore which was my all time favorite fish!! Now it smells terrible and tastes terrible to me!! Wish that had happened to me with sweets and not the healthy fish I love.

Vegan cinnamon rolls traditional (dozen) and mostly gluten free Vegan sugar free cinnamon rolls (three)

This is a recipe before and after comparison

I can easily make traditional baked goods but I want to step up my game and start trying more gluten free alternatives.

They taste nearly the same except the mostly gluten free version taste more like coconut flour one of the main ingredients. Very delightful.

Yum!! I love cinn rolls!! Would love the recipe!

With all of the spices in it, the original fish flavor is muted so you may be able to tolerate it well!!!

What about frosting?

Total Time 45 minutes

Servings 8 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

Dough:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 3 tbsp granular Swerve Sweetener or other granulated erythritol
• 3 tbsp unflavored whey protein powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
• 2 large eggs lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup butter melted

Filling:

• 1 tbsp butter melted
• 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute I used Ideal
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Cream Cheese Icing

• 2 oz cream cheese softened
• 1 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener or other powdered erythritol
• 1 tbsp heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, Swerve, whey protein, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum.

3. Stir in eggs and butter until dough comes together. It will be quite sticky.
4. Turn out dough onto a large piece of parchment, and then pat into a rough rectangle.
5. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out to about 10x8 inches. Peel off top piece of parchment paper.
6. Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar substitute and cinnamon, going almost right to edges.
7. Starting with the far, longer edge of your dough, gently lift away from the parchment and roll up tightly towards you. Pinch the seam to seal.
8. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut into 8 equal portions. Place in prepared cake pan, just barely touching each other, and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until just golden brown. Remove and let cool 10 minutes.
9. For the Frosting, beat all ingredients in a medium bowl and then pipe or spread onto warm rolls.
