I doubt anyone has heard of the Chaffles going crazy on the internet but they are going crazy in my kitchen. I fell for another gadget, an itty bitty cheap MINI DASH waffle iron, perfect for one person with portion control problems. Two ingredients 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and one egg makes 2 chaffles.
There are about a gazillion chaffle recipes and so far they are DAMN TASTY and easy.
Oh and Mic there is a recipe to make a chaffle pizza crust - then load you toppings on it and there is another where you put all the ingrediants right in the pizza chaffle, however I have not tried either of those yet but I might. I also haven't tried any of the sweet recipies as I'm stuck on savory.

Fay! - Great to see that you're trying Outta The Box concepts!

Feb 21That sounds like cholesterol isn't part of that 'portion control'
Seriously...

"Cholesterol Portion Control."




Feb 21My research (based on a study group of One) indicates dietary cholesterol has Little/No effect on one's cholesterol numbers.
Mine's consistently almost alarmingly Low.
I figured I'd have fun messing with the Doc's head by jacking it way up & freak him out -
I ate 1/2 dozen eggs/day for Two Weeks prior to my annual physical ...
Doc reviewed the numbers & blandly mentioned, "Cholesterol's still low - dropped slightly from a year ago." ...

Mic, it's more of the cheese and not the eggs.
Feb 21miclee
Good Suggestion, Chat!


Feb 21I'll try cheese next time ...
miclee
'Course, not all cheeses are created Equal - Some are better'n others.


Feb 21Fay mentioned Mozzarella, which is often part skim/reduced fat.
Other good options are Swiss & Provolone ...

Luvvin' on Swiss.

eggs and mozzarella cheese, sounds like the keto diet.

I've never made anything but waffles

I KNOW that works!

No offense, ladies - But for a good sized Guy, that's a Cookie Maker
Which ain't a bad Start!
How bout this?
Throw some Chocolate into the batter (chocolate Chips wouldn't hurt) let 'em cool, put ice cream between two of 'em, freeze it up ... VOILA! Killer Eskimo Pie® ...
Another single portion idea.
Use a countertop steamer -
Make up pancake mix & pour into a container deemed to be "Single Portion" (add chocolate/chocolate chips/fruit/whatever) - Steam It (kinda Obvious
The steam fluffs it up into the lightest, airiest CAKE Ever
Makes Ordinary cakes seem like eating fudge.
Prob'ly work well for single serving portion control -
The way it fluffs up, one has the visual that one's eating something that's Enormous.

There are soooo many recipes with some being Chocolate for the Chaffles. My cholesterol is just fine.
Feb 22The thing I've learned recently that is really bad for us is Soybean Oil and it's in so many things including Mayo. As I was watching the video I paused it, ran to the fridge and sure enough the 2nd ingredient is Soybean Oil. I tossed it.
Went back to computer and instead of finishing what I was originally watching, I found a make your own mayo video with EXTRA LIGHT Olive Oil. I made it for the first time in my life, (I've only wanted to make it for the last 10 years but never bothered) and it was DELISH. I'll never buy mayo again without checking igredients. I always watch for sugar but I was ignorant to soyean oil. I will still eat tofu.

Making your Own is still Cool ... Prob'ly tastes better, bein' made Fresh

I read that all plant based oils cause inflammation. Your better off using butter.

Feb 22Or that nasty stuff our grandparents used ..bacon grease.
Although I just checked and every keto mayo recipe has olive oil in it.

Hey Fay!



Feb 22Speaking of soybean foods -

I bought store bought mayo with Olive Oil and Hated it years ago. During my mornings research I heard the trick is to use Extra LIGHT olive oil which made the world of difference. The homemade mayo is much more yummy (and super easy to make) than the store bought.
Feb 23Mic I love Edamames and love that recipe. I like seeds too so the pepper seeds go into my recipes, that's where the heat is.
Next on my bucket list is to make Ghee. I've watched several videos and it seems like I should pull it off but I never know as I had an epic fail yesterday making a broccoli cheddar soup. Luckily it tasted okay but an epic fail none-the-less.
Besides EVOO I won't use vegatable oils not even Canola. Avacado and Coconut oils have always been my favorites and Sesame Oil too.

How 'bout This, FedEx?
) chaffle, Swiss cheese on top, float it on onion soup ..

Feb 23Make up a (RYE
Being Round, it'd fit the bowl - Lots of surface area to soak up liquid - Easy to eat, as it'll break up into four pieces.
Think kinda like ...

Only using a Fresh Rye Chaffle - maybe Toasted before being floated.

Variation - Omit the brandy from the Soup & Drink It
