Yup, it has come to this... in addition to the Nutella, regular Peanut Butter has to go. (My choice.)
In the morning, I have been having my ricotta cheese and egg waffle for breakfast which I assume, and plan to continue to assume, is good for me. HOWEVER, on top... I started with peanut butter after my accidental overdose with Nutella. Peanut butter has been a better choice but again, I can't seem to control my portion sizes. With asparagus and broccoli I seem to have no problem not over doing it, hmmm? It is my one little cheat of the day and it helps me to stay strong with my diet plan the rest of the day. I know that I need to make a change before Xavy strips me of it all together. haha. I've toyed with the idea of giving up my waffle and switching to something less tempting but I just can not do it. They are fabulous!
I just ordered PB2 to see if it helps. Anyone care to weigh in on it?
For those interested in my "waffle" recipe... here ya go!

Spray waffle maker with PAM or other cooking spray.

I would love to try these but I think they would tempt me to use a butter product and syrup .... I was eating the Kashi Blueberry ones for awhile and that is what happened, I started with a little butter and a little syrup and before too long, I was fully indulging. I will hold off alittle longer on waffles ... I am liking the Garden Egg Substitute thingies!
ReplyDeleteAMEN Sista. But... They are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI frickin LOVE WAFFLES and PANCAKES and the recipe looks delish ... I WILL TRY but I need to get my willpower in check first ... At this point my friend, I would do just about anything for a piece of frickin' bread!
