How to make Chaffles:

I originally learned about Chaffles on TikTok. They’re a recipe that is part of a Keto diet (no carbs). By no means am I on a Keto diet but I am gluten intolerant! When I saw these Chaffles I thought they’d be great for me! I even bough a waffle iron just to make them! Well, needless to say I was not disappointed! They’re so easy to make and you can add any ingredients you like! Some even use the Chaffles as “bread” for sandwiches.

Ingredients (for 1 Chaffle): - 1 egg - 1 slice of sandwich meat (I used ham) - 1/4 cup of grated or cubed cheese (I used Swiss. - Fresh parsley - 1 tbsp of water Method: In a bowl, beat the egg and water together. Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Preheat the waffle iron. Add the mixture to the waffle iron and cook for 2 minutes. Enjoy!

Weigh-In-Wednesday

Last Week’s Weight (9.2.20):  213.6

Today’s Weight (9.9.20):  213.6

Total Weight Lost in 1 Week: 0 Total Weight Lost in 9 Months:  57.4lbs Total Weight Lost Since Quarantine Began: 30.3lbs

It’s fascinating looking at my daily loss/gain fluctuations compared to a static picture of my one-week loss of zero pounds. 

If you had asked me last night if I was going to see a loss this morning I would have put money against it. I had a giant bowl of sauce to go with my brussels along with eating all the toppings off a slice of pizza on top of all my other foods. Weird, body, weird.  

Today was supposed to be a walk day but the forecast is predicting thunderstorms every hour for basically the entire week. How often has it actually rained? Maybe 15 minutes tonight. But, since I have to take erp with me, I can’t risk getting stuck in an actual downpour.  Boo.  

Keto Chaffles It's so easy to make these low-carb cheese waffles with just 4 ingredients. Simply combine the ingredients together and cook in a waffle iron!

I went out and bought a mini waffle maker, for chaffles! It was a funny find, actually. My sister and I were at Walmart looking for flowers, and the waffle maker was shoved into an end cap! Just chillin! I don't personally like shopping at Walmart, so it never even crossed my mind to look in their housewares section for one. But there it was, placed exactly where it needed to be for me to find it.

I'm used to using a Belgian waffle maker for my chaffles. Please look below for the massive size difference between the two:

It made me giggle, not going to lie! Normally for my chaffles, I used two eggs and 28g of shredded cheese. So I THOUGHT that maybe I could just cut the portion in half for the middle one. Boy, I was wrong! Haha. The poor mini overflowed! So I tried again and again, with no success.

(Clockwise: trying figure out the portion sizes, WAYYYY too eggy/soggy, finally looking a little better)

I finally reached out to @losingitinvirginia to see if she could kindly direct me to a better ratio of ingredients. (She makes them often, so i figured she'd be the pro to ask! Haha.)

I eventually got them looking somewhat decent:
