It's a new day:) 134.3 today!

Flourless microwave cake ingredients
Today is a new day! I am actually in my home alone for a few days for the first time since July 2nd! Hubby is traveling and Kayce and Karson are safe in their new home in GA. I have to say, it's not too bad:) So far. It snowed quite a bit today and if it does again tomorrow, I will have some major snow removal to do.

I made the flourless chocolate cake again today and I think it turned out really good. I didn't even get the cool whip out. I could only eat 1/2, which is probably a good thing. It does have a dense texture, very much like pudding cake. I cook it for exactly 60 seconds and it doesn't look totally done, that's why I think of it as pudding cake. Today I used 1 TBS cocoa and 1 TBS Truvia+ 2 packets of Stevia. I did not use the baking powder. If you want something that is chocolate rich...this is a good one!
I really believe that I continue to be successful on the BFC because I have learned to only eat things that I really want. I know that may not work when you are on the way down, but it is working for my maintenance. I do think I still pretty much stay within the 15/6 per day. I am still eating my spinach and taking my vitamins. Lunch today was a bacon and spinach sandwich on grilled sandwich thin. Bacon and I made up and are back together again, now I am a little tired of sausage! I had a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup for dinner. I know, white carbs:( But it is a "memory" food for me, and easy peasy!
I am excited to see how the Holiday's play out. I only have a few Christmas parties, so I am not usually very challenged.
I am making a turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatoes with spinach and gravy for Thanksgiving. No rolls:( No fruit salad, no pecan pie:( I guess I could cut up some strawberries and make a spinach salad? Hmmm.
It will just be Marv and me. So simple, easy day.
Thank you all for putting up with my drama. I have come to realize how incredibly blessed that I was when I owned my gym and had 40 women a day or more to run through my life issues with. There was always someone with worse problems, or great ideas. I really, really, really miss them:( We also solved all of the political problems of our Country. We were a very smart group of women!
Blessings and Happy scales....
Yummy!

  1. Kay, That cake looks yummy where can I find the recipe for it? I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope to be able to get time to blog this weekend. I have been busy with work, daughter moving in and I am hosting Thanksgiving at my house.

  2. Enjoy your time alone. That might not happen for a while. This may sound funny but I used to love to shovel the snow when I grew up in Michigan. Now your cake looks good. Mine came out good too - but different cause it was from the coconut flour pancakes.
    Have a great day :-)

  4. Kay, you are quite the baker. And you said you couldn't cook! I think you have been hiding your talents from us! It's nice to be alone once in awhile isn't it? My house is full right now, and while it's nice, I do like the peace and quiet sometimes. Helps me think! Hugs to you from me!

  5. Chocolatey, rich and gooey - what else could you want! Those were mini muffin pans I used for Jeri's muffins. They're nice because you get a little bite when you want to indulge.
    There is definitely something to be said for being alone. I think the best thing would be being able to do what you want without anyone interrupting you needed something!
    How much snow did you get? I do like the first snows but not really a fan of shoveling.
    I hope you and your husband have a lovely Thanksgiving together!

  6. Your cake looks like one of those individual sized dessert temptations yum. Please share the recipe. I am so happy that the snow melted today, it would be nice if it didn't snow again until Christmas lol :)
