New year, new diet! I’ve decided to try out the south beach diet, which is a little hard-core atkins-y for the first two weeks, then easing off and allowing whole grain brown breads and brown rice. The hardest part is going to be low-carb no sugar breakfast. the recipes out there are all for eggs eggs eggs, nothing but eggs. if anybody out there has some favourite no-carb breakfast recipes to share, please do! until then i’ll be getting by on eggs and almond flour.

favourite cooking utensil of the moment:
silicon mini muffin pan

recipe for low-carb-sugar-free almond flour muffins
1 cup almond flour
1 stick melted butter
3 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup splenda or some other amount of other sugar substitute
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

standard drill. combine wet ingredients in one bowl, dry ingredients in the other. mix wet into dry and stir in quickly. then spoon blobs of the batter into the little silicon muffin tray.
