CHEESECAKE!!!

my dh made took muffin cups and made 4 little cheesecakes and we ate them for breakfast! and the best part was that it was only right around 5 carbs all together!! (that's cuz i ate 2 ) it's a good thing that our lunch and dinner doesn't have many carbs to it...

i think that we're going to get some springform pans tonight so that he can make a normal size cheesecake for us. that way we can divide it up into the right number of servings so that we know exactly how many carbs we will each have...and i think he's going to try to them into some kind of danish type thing, just without the pastry part of it in individual muffin cups. i'll post the recipe if he figures it out and it's good!

i am really beginning to LOVE atkins! who'd have thought? cheesecake for breakfast!

Brandie that sounds soooo good! I love cheesecake! I have to share even though it seems you are on atkins. My dh made me blueberry muffins last sunday! OMG they were so dang good 80 calories and no fat. He bought the Kroger no fat brand mix then used the eggbeaters in place of the egg the recipe called for! Totally no fat for a muffin. I ate two so i'm sure i got a gram or something. But anyways i sprayed them with the parkay spray and man i was in heaven. I really don't think it could get any better my favorite breakfast treat and ff i thought i was in heaven. Needless to say next sunday i want more! It's so nice to find a treat we can have that's legal ain't it!!!!!

Isn't that cheesecake yummy, Brandi? It is an excellent breakfast, too. My husband often has the cheesecake for breakfast. It's amazingly filling, isn't it?

I love Atkins too. I find it is the best plan for <i>me</i>

WOW!!! It is so good to hear you are having a good time on this!!! I need to make another cheesecake this week. I might put part of it in a smaller pan and the rest in muffin pans. How long do you let the muffin one cook???

YUM! My favorite low carb breakfast... a slice of beachgirls cheesecake and a big mug of good coffee!

Unfortunately I am KISSing this week trying to get to my goal... so sadly... no cheesecake. However, I am only 2 lbs from goal... so won't have to wait long.

i'll have to ask DH how he made them...and how long he cooked them. he wants to get the BIG muffin cups and attempt to make them more like a danish type thing...well, like the middle of a danish anyway. and we're going to start making more cheesecakes and freezing them so that we can have a little treat every now and then when we crave one. i don't think that he followed beachgirl's recipe when he made these...he made a normal cheesecake but used splenda instead of sugar. i think that's what he did anyway...we'll experiment more this weekend and if we get something to work, then we'll post it!!

Although I'm not on Atkins I am incredibly jealous!!!! Cheesecake for breakfast?!? Reminds me of a Bill Cosby skit about chocolate cake for breakfast that I saw years ago. I'll admit the idea of having cheesecake for breakfast sounds so good that I'm thinking of trying it myself next week!! Thanks for sharing!

DD, will you email me about this KISS stuff? I'm very interested.

Scarlett, if there is flour in that cheesecake you will knock yourself out of ketosis. Beachgirl's cheese cake is just as yummy as the one with flour and it won't affect your ketosis.

 

[scarlett873]

no flour at all!! just cream cheese, splenda, an egg, and a touch of vanilla!


he wouldn't have made it if it called for any flour...

YAY!
