I don't have a Fathers Day post written for today. But I'd like to take a moment to say happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers that visit my blog.
You have an important roll in life that I know is not easy.
Being a father is a gift from God.
You have been given this title for a reason.
Continue to love, protect and lead your children and family.
Happy Fathers Day!
Today I sat with Dad in church as always but today was special. Fathers were honored along with our Heavenly Father. My dad won a special prize for having the most children at church with him and was one year shy of being the oldest dad there today. Tonight we are taking him to his favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner. I have a sister in law that is fighting that aweful "C" desease and we really hope she, my brother and their kids can make it.
However, I doubt they will, but it would be a great surprise to daddy.
It's a bread alternative that's practically carb free, grain free, and high in Protein.
Perfect for those on a special diet. I'm not on a special diet other than Nutrisystem. I just wanted a healthy choice of bread for my flex meals.
I have seen this recipe for cloud bread floating around all over social media and just had to give it a shot.
I have never whipped egg whites long enough for them to turn into a fluff texture. This is something I had to do to believe. Now I understand the whole meringue thing. **My mom makes the best!!
Mix 3 egg whites and 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tarter until it peaks (About 5 minutes).
In another bowl, add 3 Tablespoons of cream cheese to the egg yolks and mix well.
Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture half at a time.
Last, place 1/4 cup drops of mix on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake 30 minutes in a 300 degree preheated oven.
Unfortunately mine did not turn out well. My 3 year old nephew came to visit as I was about to place the mix on the cookie sheet, so I paused a while to greet him, causing the clouds to deflate. Only about 3 or 4 out of 12 came out half way decent but not fluffy enough so I plan to attempt it again another day.
I like the way they taste. I was afraid they would taste eggy but they didn't. They had a light and fragile texture like a croissant or cream puff with a light bready taste.
You have to let them cool completely before eating, It will hold a sandwich together. You can also lightly toast them and top with butter and jelly or any other topping for a delicious breakfast snack.
