Bread for Me!

One thing I really miss as a diabetic is bread. I can have regular bread as a treat now and then, but it takes a while now for me to work off the carbs. I have tried different keto breads, most of which are tasteless, and all of which are super expensive. That's why I've been on the hunt for a simple diabetic-friendly bread I can make in one small loaf for myself. This recipe has worked out to be the best of all the ones I've tried, including the 90 second microwave bread I've been making up until finding this recipe.

Some tweaks: I use egg beaters instead of 5 eggs, and I opted for the baking powder version so I could avoid the vinegar. As a result my bread has a definite eggy taste to it, and didn't brown as much. I don't mind this, but if you're not a fan of the taste of eggs you should pass.

It does not have the same texture as regular bread -- it's more like a cake texture -- and it's quite a bit heavier, so slicing it thin is a good idea. Despite that it really helps me resist temptation, especially at breakfast or when I have soup and want some toast. I also like that my version has no cholesterol.

Make It Yourself

As we head into December, here are ten ideas for easy handmade gifts: Cookie Exchange: If you live close to your friends invite them over for a cookie exchange. Basically everyone bakes a set amount of their favorite cookies, and these are exchanged at the gathering by lottery, sharing a little from each batch with everyone, or however you want to do it. You can also exchange recipes, too. My neighbor did this once and it was wonderful. Favorite Recipe Cookbook : For my favorite person I found a copy of my favorite cookbook from a vintage bookseller (yes, I am that old) and went through it making notes on all the recipes I used, how I tweaked them, etc. Ornament: There are probably a million free tutorials on how to make your own holiday ornaments, so do some research online. I like to make hanging pomanders , which smell heavenly and are biodegradable after the holidays. Mug Rugs: If you sew, making up a set of mug rugs is simple and easy; I add these every year to my ...

Journal Find

This is a page from my 2010 poetry journal. My handwriting isn't the best, so I'll transcribe it: If my heart survives to tell all the secrets kept inside it will be an abalone shell in which the beauty did reside. But I think I will always be lost to the tides that rage in me . . . humbling and polishing . . . I don't write many self-portrait poems, but this one isn't too embarrassing. A bit overly dramatic, but the girl I was eleven years ago went through some tough times. I'm in a much more peaceful place today.
