Carbs are amazing

[Ylfa]

Finally figured out how to do autumn/winter - two large helpings of creamy pasta (mushroom, truffles rigatoni) >>> in a coma by 8pm >>> feel fucking awesome today.

Please share your carbiest recipes!

@Sexnotgender omg you've triggered me now- they look amazing.

Also if anyone has never tried proper American pancakes from an American diner you need to put it on your bucket list

We had our honeymoon in Las Vegas, ate said pancakes for breakfast and had to go back to the hotel to have a nap

sexnotgender Fat head dough? What's fat head dough?

Pizza dough - made with cream cheese, grated mozzarella, egg and almond flour. It makes a very passable low carb pizza base.

If you google it you should find a recipe.

@Sexnotgender I'm not even low-carb and I want to try that! More cheese = more joy.

Tip with fat head pizza - you'll need to remember to add salt!

Here is the recipe I use for keto pizza dough

1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 tbsp cream cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup almond flour (or flaxseed meal, or a combination of the two)
2 garlic cloves (optional)
herbs (optional)

Microwave mozzarella and cream cheese until melted and combined (about 1min).
Add beaten egg, flour, garlic and herbs, stir to combine.
Press out on to a piece of parchment paper.
Bake in oven for 10mins at 180C/350F, add toppings and bake for a further 10mins

That being said, I am a fully paid up member to the carb club! Last night's dinner was BBQ pulled pork in a naan style wrap with a side of chips 😍 I'm going to miss being 38 weeks pregnant and being able to get away with carb fests such as these most nights!

Today for my tea I had vegetable biriani

Tomorrow we'll have creamy tuna pasta

I'm such a carb monster . I lost around a stone earlier this year by reducing carbs eg having loads of different veg instead of potato or pasta . I completely 'lost it' during lockdown and have just spiralled back into a carb fest . I do love carby food though . I think I may find low carb easier if I ate meat

I maintained an unhealthily low weight for years exclusively on pasta and chickpeas, toast and marmite. Not recommended obvio but it’s surprising how carb heavy a lot of anorexics’ diets are.

Although not actually surprising at all because calorie deficit >>> weight loss, whatever you eat!

Thanks for that recipe Sairafina I’m going to make it

I've just discovered m&s chocolate digestives 😋

You're welcome @ImEatingVeryHealthilyOhYes
The 'dough' is very sticky - be prepared to get it all over your hands when you press it out!
Here's the last time I made it with BBQ chicken, onion and bell pepper

We went to the aforementioned bakery this morning. It only opens 2 days a week. DH spent £25😂

Cinnamon buns
Pecan caramel cakey looking things
Raspberry frangipan tart
Proper sourdough
Biscuits and meringues

I’m glad I have my maternity trousers on😂

You're welcome *@ImEatingVeryHealthilyOhYes* The 'dough' is very sticky - be prepared to get it all over your hands when you press it out! Here's the last time I made it with BBQ chicken, onion and bell pepper

I roll it between 2 pieces of grease proof paper.

Caramelly pecan thing from bakery.

Oh my... just tried a corner and it’s like cinnamon bread dough as the base
