Weekend bloomer |
I have been on the Adkins diet before and I know that a lot of the recipes contained cream cheese. I'm not really a fan of a lot of fat, but I do like cream cheese. To keep the fat down, I used light cream cheese from Trader Joe's. The recipe also called for Stevia or other sweetner package, I'm not a fan of sweetners, even stevia so I used my favorite; whipped cream!
Here's the ingredients: 2 eggs, 2 oz of cream cheese, marked by the red line on the package in the photo below, 2 tbsp of whipped cream. Use your blender till batter is smooth. Pour carefully into a skillet or electric skillet set at 300 - 350 degrees. I noticed these took longer to set up than regular pancakes, likely by twice the amount of time.

The Carbometer on this dish is quite incredible. Since this makes at least 4 servings, the carbs are incredibly low - 2.5 carbs.
Just for fun, I looked up the carbs for the breakfast my kids had:
Bisquick Pancakes - 3 each
1 oz of Syrup - A WHOPPING 26 CARBS
Whipped Cream
50 CARBS total
Cream Cheese Pancakes |
Looking back at the cream cheese pancakes, I have to say they were good. I wouldn't say spectacular, but good. I think I may consider them for a dessert for a special occasion with Whipped Cream and chocolate shavings.
Progress update - 1 lb lost since Tuesday. To celebrate yesterday, I tried on size 6 jeans. They didn't fit well, but they ZIPPED UP!
I have NEVER been a size 6 - as far back as 7th grade, I remember being a size 7. Most of my life I've been a size 9 or 10. I'm still wearing my 10's but I need a belt, I think I'm an 8. I don't have any 8's. If you have size 8 clothes and you want to give them to me...let me know. I can't afford a new wardrobe :-). Pounds to go....19.
Have a great weekend! May there be new spring blooms in your garden and lovely weather on your
horizon.
