You can! I am on the cusp of zombie vag week (*dear men reading this- seriously, get over it. This shit happens monthly- learn it) and my craving for something bread-y and sweet is rather overwhelming.. luckily I know exactly how to fix that, and fill me up, AND still stick to following Paleo (yes, I am still following Paleo)... so here's what you should try... 'cause this shit is good!
- grab a bowl that is microwaveable
- take two eggs (preferably local & organic)
- crack them into the bowl, the add a couple shakes of organic cinnamon
- add like 2 packets of Splenda® or Truvia® (preferably Truvia® for health reasons)
- put in the microwave for like 2 minutes
- pull out of microwave, and dribble like 2 to 4 tblsp of Almond milk on it
NOW EAT THE SHIT OUT OF IT!!
*notes:
you can mush up a banana first (helps to do it first) then add the other stuff
OR.. maybe some diced up apple....I like to sprinkle some cold fresh blueberries on top, in fact I think that is my favorite.
You can totally leave out the fruit.. but try to still use the berries they rule! It's so ridiculously low carb/low sugar/low everything that you kinda want to laugh at how yummy it actually is. Not kidding. The whipped eggs and cinnamon totally poof up into a bread-y/soufflé like consistency. It's weird and awesome all at once. You can tweak this however you like it... but for some sugar/sweetner packets, two eggs, & cinnamon... it's a helluva quick fix. I just add the almond milk (since I don't use regular milk anymore) so it's more bread pudding-ish. I also know that if I stir the pants off it once it's cooked, then add the almond milk & berries it kinda like porridge.
Ok, that's all. I hope someone was able to use this (or even some of this) to make something yummy. I hate it when every recipe out there makes a person feel like they must have gourmet everything, and like need to go freakin' harvest shit under a full moon or a soufflé will fall flat or somethin'. I like fast, easy, & inexpensive, just as much as I like things to be healthy and good for me.
If you're one of those people that needs to know the nutritional value of everything, it breaks down like this:

1/2 cup chopped red apple: 33 calories, .11 fat, 8.6 carbs, .16 protein
berries:
1/4 cup blueberries: 21 calories, .01g fat, 5.3 carbs, .27 protein

SEE?!
OMG GOOFY. I knew there was a reason we're friends. Bread pudding is hands down my favorite dessert ever.
ReplyDeleteThe cinnamon is from Saigon? Very exotic ingredients, my dear! ;)
ReplyDeleteCake Betch- I'll just add it to the list of many reasons
ReplyDeleteBea- well... more like from "google images" really, I just wanted a picture of organic cinnamon ;p
I really hope someone else tries this and tells me if they liked it. I am often convinced that my palate is so strange that I always wonder if I'm the only one that likes something.
I love when my wife gets bad cravings, because then I get to eat crap too.
ReplyDeleteMan, when we eventually get her pregnant, I'm going to gain a million pounds. That'll be great.
Where did my really funny comment go?
ReplyDeleteGang I hate it when that happens!
