Dinner was one of her favorites, ravioli with broccoli and alfredo sauce. She's vegetarian so she stopped there. I'm keto so I didn't go there at all. I also cooked up Italian sausages in a tomato sauce for the meat eaters. I enjoyed a sausage link and 1/4 C of y low sugar tomato sauce. Yum!
Celebration time meant a treat too. TJ chocolate peanut butter cupcakes for them. Keto "mug cake" for me.
I made mine, and then put it in the fridge to completely cool before frosting it. In consistency it was like a dense "pudding" you'd get in England, or a bread pudding here in the US. It was super tasty. I promised I'd be really honest in my blog entries so the frosting I creatively thought up? Hated it! Scraped it all off. My husband tasted a little and didn't think it was bad so maybe it's just me, but I didn't care for it.

Recipe:
2 eggs, 2 TBL almond flour, 2 TBL melted butter, 1 packet stevia, 1 TSP cocoa powder, 1/2 TSP vanilla extract, 1/4 TSP baking powder, 1 small square of dark chocolate grated, all mixed well and poured into buttered ramekin. Microwave for 1 minute, let cool.
Note- this is meant for a mug, and it really rose and bubbled and was huge on top which scared me a little lol. As you can see, when I flipped it out, it wasn't a pretty ramiken shape because of the muffin top thingee.
Frosting was some heavy whipping cream , 1 TSP peanut butter, 1 packet stevia, 1 square dark chocolate whipped in the bullet blender. But again, I didn't love this or even like it really- I would skip it next time.

Oh hey, it's Saturday, official weigh in day.
This week was a modest success again. I am that 1-3 lb a week loser. I watch with envy these 10 lbs a week losers but I realize I'm not starting at as high a weight as them, and I'm probably not as strict given my evening cocktail/wine habit. And on the up side I have read slower weight loss = less loose skin so we will see.
Lbs lost this weight- 2.4
Lbs lost since starting keto- 21.3
Lbs lost since holidays Fat Peak- 28.3
Keep on ketoing, I know I will!
