Low carb eating doesn't suck!

[LowAndSlow]

Bought a ginormous bag of broccoli at Costco the other day, and had to use it or lose it! So I made a big pot of broccoli cheese soup and tried a new recipe - cheesy ranch roasted broccoli. We had the soup for dinner and will try the other as a side tomorrow.

I love broccoli any which way it's cooked, but I do love broccoli cheese soup. Yum ... looks delish.

I’ve been away from the forum for a while and I’m just catching up on this thread. The chaffles look so great and seem to be so popular everywhere! But how do they not taste eggy? I guess like pancakes don’t ? The wonder bread one looks so good! I’m trying to gather all the basic recipes while I wait for my mini Waffle maker to come in.
Thanks to all of y’all for posting such great stuff!

So no opinions on whether they taste eggy?

@KimKyle no, they don’t taste eggy at all.

I’ve been experimenting with almond, pecan and coconut flour. I prefer the coconut flour chaffles, to me they aren’t as dry as when I use the other flours.
@Nhcris I want to come live at your house! I love all the different recipes you are always making!

Generally, if you cook them long enough they don't taste eggy. I do find that adding flour makes them more breadlike. The first time I made the original Wonder Bread recipe, mine was a little like a puffy omelet, so I kicked that recipe to the curb. Others have not had that issue with it though, so I might have had premature chaffelation. The toughest thing is nor overfilling the waffle maker!

Oh, also some people recommend using egg whites to reduce the egg taste.

Anytime @Mary9915! But you are a far better cook than I am!

I may have used coconut flour once, on a sweet one? I don't remember. I got the Costco sized almond flour, so it is my go to! I really should do more with coconut flour to understand the textural difference better.

Remember chafflers, because coconut flour is so absorbent, the ratio of coconut flour to almond flour is 1 coconut to 3 almond if you are substituting!

My “McGriddle” this morn. This is from that place, as an a la carte item. SO yummy!



I had the snickerdoodle cupcake when I got home from a movie last night. SO delicious but I had crazy stomach issues for a few hours after (not pain, just rumbling and gas, sorry TMI). And I had a similar reaction after I ate that parfait. I am wondering if it’s the artificial sweeteners? I know she uses Swerve; maybe that’s negatively affecting me.

It most likely is the sweetener. I have one that affected me once from some Aldi dessert bars but keep forgetting which one. I will have to try to remember to check the labels next time I'm there.

Thanks y’all! I appreciate the help! I am anxiously awaiting my little Dash waffle maker. It was back ordered at Amazon

Here is my bacon sandwich on a chaffle I made for lunch. Just the basic one - egg and cheese, I haven’t made any other kind of chaffle yet. I don’t find them too eggy but I like all kinds of eggs. Helps to sprinkle a little shredded cheese on the maker before putting the batter on to make it crispy and cool on a rack. Even foamy likes them!

Yeah, that is how I make all of mine, I sprinkle the cheese, then pour the egg, then more cheese. And then cool on a wire rack. They’re definitely crispier that way.

I’ve seen many vids where they mix the cheese in with the egg and pour it all on at once... I haven’t tried it like that yet.
