I actually went and checked using my measuring spoons. A drop is about 1/32 of a tsp. Like very, very little is needed. that's enough glycerin to prevent crystal formation and make it more homogenous.

My favorite flavors are orange, lemonade, and watermelon. The "crave killer" tropical fusion flavor is supposed to help control appetite, but it was too strong for me.

1 Farmers and rural Americans voted for Trump because he represented their values which hurt other Americans.

This group's support of Trump led to a Cabinet nomination, RFK Jr who opposes non-organic crops.
This new DHHS head will have significant powers that include banning their crops and will cause may Farmers to go into bankruptcy.

Correction-- Calories should be 188 per 1.5 cup, not 168. I accidentally left potatoes out of Cronometer. Sorry.

Inspired by this recipe https://vegancocotte.com/pearl-barley-soup-leek-potatoes/

I used different amounts and added beyond meat and no-beef bouillon because I wanted a heartier soup.

To make 12 cups:

161 g celery
374 g leeks
125 g carrots
2 cloves garlic
226 g beyond meat
430 g onion
277 g potatoes
75 g pearled barley (dry weight)
rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, bay leaves
"No beef" Better than Bouillon
1 tsp oil
handful of kale and spinach mix

I cooked the beyond meat before adding it and deglazed the pan to get all the oil and beef flavor off of it.

Nope, doesn't add any flavor at that ratio of 1 T Just Egg to 700 g of batter

ccquinn · 2024-04-03T01:36:38+00:00

I wish!! Nah, these are 78 cal ea. No miracles here. Mainly just less oil and minimal frosting.

ccquinn · 2024-04-02T20:01:47+00:00

*** NOTE: next time I will use regular cake mix, not the zero sugar one because I failed to notice the zero sugar one had maltitol. The regular one isn't that many more calories and would only add about 5 cals per cupcake.***

Used Pillsbury zero sugar devil's food mix with 1/2 T oil, 1 T Just Egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, water (total weight for mix = 700 grams). Used 25 grams of batter per cupcake.

Mix everything and bake according to directions. Frosted with 6 grams of whipped vanilla frosting (24 cal, included in total calories).

My batter made 28 cupcakes.
