So I am trying to change the way I cook and the way I eat so that I have a lifestyle conducive to the way I want to live. No matter what, there will be the various indulgences that I love from my frivolous calorie consumption days. Thanks to the internet and the ingenuity of many there are recipes out there that attempt to bridge the gulf between the oh so good, but not so good for you delicacies that at first seemed prohibited from my new lifestyle. That's awesome and all, but not all that glitters is gold. I found a mock Alfredo sauce recipe and tried it for lunch. I tossed in some leftover baked salmon that I had broken into flakes. I thought it was awesome! Tasted just like regular Alfredo even though it had no butter or cream to speak of. (As a component of the other ingredients sure, but lower concentration means it's a healthier alternative to the real McCoy.)
I can by no means say the same of my attempt at low carb biscuits. I refuse to use Splenda (sucralose). (I don't want anything with saccharin, or aspartame either.)It is way too overhyped, but more importantly it's toxic. It's a sugar molecule bonded to chlorine with the intent of triggering the body's 'hey, this is not food' response so that it will get passed through the system. So right off the bat I am at a disadvantage because everyone and their mother is pushing some artificial, enriched, low carb something or other by adding more fat or artificially sweetening the pot. I found something that seemed promising; however, hindsight has some other things to say about the batch. All in all those biscuits have to be some of the WORST things I've ever made/tasted. My search continues, though I'm thinking it's more likely that I'll be able to have my sweet, sweet biscuits and other baked bread items in moderation when I've finished this cut phase and am more active. First step- stop being sick. :(
