Black Bean Brownies (Kid and Husband Approved)

Meal Time Monday [Autosaved]

BlackBeanBrownies

Trying something new!

YES! They are gluten-free YES! They are moist and YES! They are yummy, kid tested and approved. Have you ever wanted to try something different just to see what the hype is all about? Not all the time but sometimes I just want to see what all the fuss is about. That’s what happened with these brownies I made them to see, “Can Black Beans really turn into brownies?” Not only can they but they really do taste very good. Of course like most things I had to put my own spin on the ingredients and how to make them but they wouldn’t be my recipe if I didn’t.

The girls were very skeptical we usually eat our beans on tacos and in salads not for a sweet treat. I even have them convinced so then it was time to try the ultimate picky eater in my house and most skeptical because let’s face it my family has been guinea pigs to good and bad recipes. I have to be honest I wasn’t exactly forthright with these brownies. I passed them off as regular brownies for dessert and I passed. He didn’t know the difference until I told him. He did say the texture was a little different than my usual brownies but he did say, “They’re actually pretty good,” which is a thumbs up and a high five for him. These brownies are great for fiber, gluten free and yummy. Give them a try!

No Carb Cheesecake

I have been carb cycling for 3 weeks this month and if you have been following have found some yummy recipes. I am actually in love with this type of meal plan now. I have found that it has given me amazing results, physically and internally. The first week I had to tweak my macros, meaning the amount of protein, fats and vegetables/fruits that I consumed and types. Once I figured it out not only have I felt better than ever, I find myself eating more than ever. Yet, I am eating less calories and low carbs. I have played with my meal plan schedule varying week to week.

For example, my first week I ate:

Low Carb, Low Carb, No Carb, Low Carb, No Carb, Low Carb, High Carb. I did this to ease me into this new lifestyle change.

The Second week, I started off with:

No Carb, No Carb, Low Carb, Low Carb, No Carb, No Carb, High Carb.

The third week of the month I ate how I wanted but still tend to eat lower carbs out of want but I didn’t plan my meals based on carbs.

Now I am here in my last week and my schedule is:

No Carb, No Carb, Low Carb, No Carb, No Carb, Low Carb. The No Carb days were intentionally scheduled on heaving lifting days.

I will do another post on my results but they are absolutely amazing and the week that I was off of Carb Cycling I only gained 1 pound, while on vacation at Disney. Seriously? Yes, Seriously!

I have been doing so well, haven’t been hungry, none of the side effects from lack of carbs. Last night was different. I wanted something sweet so I did a Google/Pinterest search and most of the results came up No Carb Cheesecake. I love cheesecake but don’t eat it very often. I had to give it a try. So, I wrote down the easy recipe and got one ingredient that was missing and then started working on the recipe. Instantly, I knew something was wrong. I was a little apprehensive because of the ingredients. As I started to mix the ingredients together it became a big gooey ball of something that did not look anything like cheesecakes. So, I added some Almond Milk which made it even worse then I added some Greek yogurt it started to workout then I added another 8 ounces of Neufetchel cheese. I placed it in the greased pan and Ta-da bogus recipe was improved and created a yummy dessert. You can serve it with Walden Farm Syrup or Fruit Spread and have Strawberry, Caramel, Chocolate or Blueberry No Carb Cheesecake. I enjoyed every bite without guilt and yumminess!
