Cloud Bread Recipe – Stuff we Make

Since I’m back on that #lowcarblife I thought I’d share one of my fave recipes. It is a little tedious but trust, it’s worth it!

Cloud bread is a great alternative for bread or hamburger buns for those of us that are on a low carb or keto diet. It has virtually no carbs (about 1g per piece) and for those of us that crave bread especially when we can’t have it *raises hand* this is the perfect solution, for me anyway. I’m not going to lie, it’s not exactly like a hamburger bun. It’s more light and airy than it is spongy. But hey, beggars can’t be choosers right?! 😛

I like to have salami, brie, and romaine lettuce on these bad boys. The romaine gives a nice texture crunch 🙂 The recipe below yields about 12 pieces.

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • Cream of Tartar, 1/4 tsp

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. Separate your egg yolks and your egg whites into bowls.
  3. Add cream cheese to your egg yolks and mix thoroughly. Set aside
  4. Add your cream of tartar to your bowl with the egg whites.
  5. Using a stand up mixer or a hand mixer whisk egg whites until firm fluffy peaks form.
  6. Add egg yolk mixture to egg whites and fold in.
  7. Get a baking sheet and line with foil. Spray surface with a cooking spray. You can also use a brush and brush oil onto the surface if you don’t have any spray.
  8. Spoon batter onto baking sheet into desired size. Note: the batter won’t spread too much so you can create the size you want with the raw ingredients.
  9. Put into oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Place onto baking rack and let cool.
  11. Put into a ziplock back or tupper ware and allow to set in refrigerator overnight.

2016 Holiday Cards are now Available! – Stuff we Make

I am in full Christmas mode over here! These designs below (and more!) are on our website NOW and are available in single cards and boxed sets.

I know this is silly to say, but I’m making the holidays magical this year damnit! 😛 I was very blessed growing up. My mom, dad, aunts, and uncles made Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve very special for me and my cousins when we were kids. We dressed up, had planned out full menus, and really fun parties. When I reminisce back to those days it makes me so happy.

When I designed these cards I remembered the days of when I was a kid and all the feels I felt during this time of year. It’s a time for family, friends, giving, selflessness, and faith. It’s why it’s my favorite time of the year (pun intended). When I close my eyes I remember the multicolored Christmas lights that rimmed my childhood home. They never came down and stayed up all year long lol. The day after Thanksgiving, they would finally be turned on.

I remember trying to eat a fake glittered strawberry ornament and crying my eyes out cuz it was disgusting lol! Since then I’ve stuck to the normal round not-food-looking ornaments.

I hope you have a happy, festive, and loving holiday season this year! Spend time with loved ones, give the gift of love, and fill your heart with the warmth of the season!

#COfitnessjournal Accessories Part 1 – Stuff we Like

There’s a lot of moving parts to keep my mind sane lol! When it comes to my #COfitnessjournal I found some great accessories to make it work better for me. One thing I can’t live without is these awesome reusable tabs by Post-it. These reusable tabs come in a variety of sizes and colors and are available at most stores that sell office supplies. Snagged mine from Target. 🙂

I earmark my weekly goals page and my daily page so that I can find it quickly. The adhesive lasts for a long time even when I peel and re-stick onto other pages. CO tip: cut the adhesive part if you want to so it doesn’t take up as much real estate on your page.

Hope you find some good tools to use with your journals! Work smarter not harder, right? 🙂
