I may need to quit baking

5. We substituted regular brownies with black bean brownies

They aren't quite as sweet, but with a quarter cup of low carb sugar free ice cream and a few nuts sprinkled on top, it looks like a fancy dessert.

I’ve also taken to having fresh fruit for dessert. If I need or want more than that, I’ll have the fruit over Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a mini shortcake made with a sugar substitute. I sometimes make a few versions of the South Beach Ricotta cups but usually halve the serving size.

This weekend I’m planning on experimenting with making my own bagel bites from Greek yogurt, almond flour, and everything bagel seasoning. I’ll let you all know how they turn out.

Best wishes to you and your husband. This journey is not an easy one. I’m heading to the drs today for a med change.
