Hi, Everyone - Here's my recipe for brownies (adapted from The Low-Carb CookwoRx Cookbook":
Chewy Fudge Brownies
Spray 8x8-inch glass pan with Pam
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients:
1 stick butter
2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped. (I use high-quality chocolate.)
1 c. Splenda
2 eggs
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/2 c. almond flour
In a small, glass bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Cover to prevent splatters.
In a medium saucepan, bring a few inches of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. On top of the pot place a small bowl, creating a double boiler. Add the melted butter and chopped chocolate to the top of the double boiler. After the chocolate melts, remove from heat.
Add the Splenda, stir til mixed.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then beat in vanilla. (The original recipe calls for a dash of salt but I don't use any.)
Gently stir in almond flour.
Pour into prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until just set.
(In my oven, 20 minutes is long enough.)
Cool on a rack for 10-15 minutes. Cut into squares. Store covered at room temperature or freeze.
------------
Here's what I ate yesterday:
coffee
3 egg whites, 1 t. olive oil
soy latte
1/2 c. tuna, mayo and lemon juice
3 oz. no-sugar-added candy
diet, caffeine-free soda
1/4 c. hummus, 1/4 c. celery
small glass white wine
1 c. salad - chicken, Swiss cheese, tomato, Parmesan cheese, lettuce, dab of Ceasar dressing

Almond flour! What a great idea. So the brownies are protein packed too!  Today - bad me, i had sugar free chocolate with pumpkin seeds, walnuts and pistachios this morning. With decaf. The nuts are good but you'd think i could have found something more nutritious than low carb chocolate for breakkie. Dinner will be eggs with cheese and salsa and a side salad.

yesterday -
Bfast - 2 low carb pudding cups with a banana, decaf
Dinner - Steel cut oatmeal with whole milk, sugar free maple syrup and parmesan cheese. Red wine for dessert.
Okay, not the healthiest day - no veggies. But i did get in a piece of fruit, so not a total loss. I also did 2 hours on my twist board, took vitamins and of course hydrated.
Today will be -
banana with sour cream and parmesan cheese with splenda. Decaf.
Dinner - mixed salad with turkey sausage, walnuts and cranberries.
