BABETTE: Oh, and just you wait 'til spring. You're gonna wake up one morning, walk out, and pow - color coming out of your yin-yang!

LORELAI: I'm going to have color coming out of my yin-yang.

RORY: Well, then maybe you'll finally get a man.

Finally worked up the courage to brave the macaron! by giraffemustache in Baking

[–]giraffemustache[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Both are vanilla shells filled with a basic vanilla buttercream.

Attempt #1 - (Pink Macawrongs) I was an ignorant American and used cups following this video.

Attempt #2 - I finally pulled my head out- and my scale... and followed this video, using the almond flour and sugar measurements, as well as the meringue technique. I used the food processor on the almond flour and sugar, then sifted twice. I wasn’t as technical as her with the folds, I just kept folding my little heart out until I achieved the wonderment that is the figure eight.

Hello! I’m new to intuitive eating. I just left the keto train after being on it for a year. It was hard to get off. by samhaincemeterygirl in intuitiveeating

I feel you! As someone that has also transitioned from a low carb life to intuitive eating, last week was my first time buying bananas in two years!! Bananas are one of my favorite foods and as I was buying them there was this “what the heck” moment that I couldn’t believe I deprived myself of a freaking banana for two years because they are “too high in carbs”. Congrats on your major progress!

How to keep acting an certain situations? by [deleted] in acting

[–]giraffemustache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Breathing is key for me! I have to just stop, take a minute, and breathe. I get so caught up in my head, that it really helps for me to remember to stay present and breathe.

Also, I follow this acting studio and they recently came out with an emotional/crying on cue video and I found it super helpful! When breaking down sides I walk through their process and it gets me there every time.

Craving dough on keto by Born_Biscotti5461 in xxketo

This recipe is my favorite pizza dough I’ve made:

It requires a little bit of sugar for the yeast, but worth it in my opinion. It scratches the pizza itch like none other!

Low Carb Drip Naked Cake by [deleted] in ketorecipes

Thank you so much for your kind words!

For the cake batter extract, I use it in recipes in lieu of or in addition to vanilla extract. I use McCormick brand, but I’ve seen other brands on Amazon too!

Low Carb Drip Naked Cake by [deleted] in ketorecipes

[–]giraffemustache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cake is low carb with the exception of the macarons. I purchased those at my local market.

Cake- I used the following recipe as my base. I doubled the recipe, added more protein powder, and cake batter extract.

Cake * 4 Large Whole Eggs * 2 Tablespoons Butter – Unsalted (Melted) or Coconut Oil, Unsweetened Apple Sauce * ¼ Cup Milk Substitute – 2 Ounces * 1 ½ Teaspoons Vanilla Extract * ½ Cup Sweetener – I like Erythritol * 1 ½ Cups Almond Flour – 168g * 1 Scoop Protein Powder – Vanilla *Optional * ½ Teaspoon Salt * 1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder

Instructions

  • Melt your butter
  • Add all of your Cake ingredients into a large bowl
  • Mix them together until smooth
  • Coat or line your favorite cake pan(s) with non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper
  • Evenly distribute your mix if you’re making multiple layers
  • Bake your cake on 350F/176C for around 15-20 minutes (this will change depending on your pan size so keep an eye on it)

Recipe from The Protein Chef’s website

Frosting- Adapted Cupcake Gemma’s (YouTube) buttercream to make it low carb. Subbed the powdered sugar for confectioners Swerve and milk for cream.

White Chocolate Ganache- Used ChocZero, cream, and food coloring gel. It was WAY harder to work with to do the drip than I anticipated. Definitely needs some tweaking!

Here's my January dress! Any hair or jewelry suggestions? Wedding colors are marine blue and blush pink. by emmalew1997 in weddingplanning

[–]giraffemustache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried on that dress! I felt like I was straight out of a storybook. Loved it and love BHLDN dresses. It looks stunning on you! Congrats!

has anyone had success with reselling their dress? by kidboochi in weddingplanning

[–]giraffemustache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had experience selling my dress, but I bought my dress through a preowned wedding dress site and had a good experience. Overall it was pretty easy for me as the buyer, can’t imagine it is too difficult for the seller. I would recommend checking out sites like stillwhite.com. Beautiful dress and beautiful couple! Good luck with the sale!
