I owe you a day 4 post, but I'm too excited to share this recipe with you. I created this 21DSD dessert today (Day 5) and it was exactly what we were in need of. Day 4 and 5 have been more challenging. We haven't been feeling great with cold like symptoms and lots of fatigue. I know we'll be over the hill soon though!
Cinnamon & Green Apple Mug Muffin
You'll see that I have a tag for "Mug Creations" on the side bar. I'm a huge fan of these quick and easy recipes. Whether it's a late week night or a busy weekend, working professionals don't have a lot of time to spare. This tasty mug creation cooks in minutes in the microwave. This is easily a great breakfast or dessert item.

Breakfast
Fried egg, butternut squash, breakfast sausage, and raw sauerkraut
Lunch
Leftover rotisserie chicken with a spinach salad and leftover Easy Healing Chicken Soup
Dinner
Slow cooker pork loin (season, add onions, cook on low for 6-7 hrs), spinach salad, pan fried eggplant with bacon, and rice (for the beau only)
Is there anything I can substitute for the egg and still make this work? I can't eat egg and I'm running into egg in many 21dsd recipies.
ReplyDeleteHi Jill - although I haven't tried the recipe with an egg substitute, I found some alternative options for baking on this site: http://www.paleoplan.com/2011/10-14/3-ways-to-cope-with-an-egg-allergy/
