Dufour is the brand I use! Sprouts markets carry it. Probably others too.
you must have been the one who posted :-)
I think I will miss champagne the most...... sigh. Maybe one sniff at occasions....
My rule for eating now is I wont put in my mouth anything that I know will make me feel bad, either immediately or the next day. So alcohol is out entirely. (Most recent experience: I tried the Panda Express spicy chicken, it was delicious, but felt very sick from msg for 3 hours so its over). I find that I dont need willpower at all when I just plain want to feel good 100% of the time and I see food that makes me feel bad as slaps in the face. So I really avoid them by desire. (And Im getting a little too thin from this... just saying... lol)
(But I still love making all them - I just need tasters!)
Maybe it was me. I think there was a quality issue between it and pepp farms. Maybe all butter? Cant remember. Its better tho. Never buy just one box, not enough in it for most recipes.
My husband is actually making that recipe using Monk Fruit Extract, because he doesn’t like using fake sweeteners either. I like them - they are not anything like regular ‘peanut butter cups’, but a pleasant treat on a low-carb diet.
I’ll tell him about your dark chocolate.
I bought keto cups too. I cant find them on store shelves any more. They probably werent sweet enough for people. But I loved them. (Coconut manna inside, not peanut butter - also good)
Good for hubs RE monkfruit instead of fake stuff!
Found them on amazon still. People didnt like them. But I did! Great tv snacking!
Those look good. My problem with that stuff is keeping to one :-)
I couldnt. I kept them in the freezer and ate 1-3 at a given occasion. Thats why I started making peanut butter cups myself! I should make some soon. They really are good from the fridge, 2-bite sized in little muffin cups. The less sugar at all that is in there, the less guilt you would feel eating 2. Plus they are super filling.
QUICK CHEESE BREAD
Slice bread loaf vertically--almost to bottom; insert Cheddar or Jack slices in cuts.
Pour over combined 1/2 c melted butter, 2 Tb ea lemon juice, Dijon, 1 1/2 tsp ea garlic/onion powders, 1/2 tsp celery salt.
Foil-wrap; bake 350 deg 15 min. Uncover; add more cheese to top; bake 10 min; crisp crust, melt cheese. 8 servings.
I’ve found fried brussel sprouts! Carb counts on them are all over the board but I’m going with 5 net carbs per serving (3/4 C).
Trim the ends and cut in half. Let dry out so the oil doesn’t splatter. Fry in oil until ugly and almost burned. Drain and toss in sauce.
Prepare just enough sauce to give a touch of taste. Sauce is a wee bit of sriracha, sweetener, honey, vinegar, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
That’s funny - I just took a bag of b. sprouts out to thaw :-)
