Welcome, tweedle! Tell me how you made your saltless waffle! I've been trying to find a way to make pancakes without salt but discovered that baking powder has almost as much sodium in it as salt does and can't find any recipes that don't include it. I know they made sodium free baking powder, but I can't find it anywhere!

Welcome tweddle! Today was a little tricky as it was my sister's birthday and we had friends for lunch
No breakfast
Lunch 1 small piece of delicious onion quiche, salad and French bread with a little humous - all of it was delicious!!! And a cupcake with butter icing. At first I didn't think this was too bad but then my sister revealed she used double cream in the quiche - no wonder it was sooooo good! Never mind!
Dinner risotto with aubergine and mushrooms and Parmesan. A few White chocolate buttons and marshmallows. An apple.
I'm still really pleased that I'm getting through the day without snacking at all!!!
The last few days LOTS of people have commented on how thin I am. My sister even got out photos from a few months ago - oh dear!! Luckily today my sister stuck up for me telling friends I've always been thin and I'm eating normally!! I can't wait for the lies to stop!!

I do use baking powder. Mine is 300mg in a tbsp, 1 tbsp in the recipe. My recipe made 14 waffles, I had one, so not too bad! I just skip the salt and use salt free butter in the batter.

Fingers crossed it'll all be worth it swish.

OK, I'm thinking your pancakes are different to the ones we make in the UK because the only ingredients are flour, eggs and milk - I don't add salt but I don't add salt to any recipes anyway. The eggs are a problem of course but ok for a treat, although I'd rather have mine poached on toast

Welcome tweedle - I'm thinking I may cut back around O time too. Keep going, you're doing great

[swish]

Yum, poached eggs on granary bread with salt on top!!!!

[Mochagirl]

Yes, swish - I think British pancakes might be more like crepe, right? In North America we like our pancakes big and fluffy . Tweedle - you make a good point about the baking powder. If I can manage to eat chips once in a while and still stay under 1000mg of sodium, surely I could eat a few pancakes if the entire recipe only has 300mg in it.

Yup, just like crepes! I'm googling diet vegetarian recipes as we speak ...

1 cp of coffee w/aspartame and coffeemate
1 normal coke (out of diet but need caffine)
a small hand full of pita chips
dinner later will be 5oz of pork chops (rosemary, paprika, garlic, black pepper), 1/2 cp white rice, and 1cp of greenbeans
maybe an apple for latenight snack

I don't particularly like pork chops - but that sounds so goooood!

I was never a fan of pork chops either but when I first met hubby and he was trying to impress me with the few things he can cook he made it with 1 inch chops and on one side he dusted it with rosemary, garlic, paprika, and pepper and cooked it on med/high heat for about 10-12 mins on each side in olive oil. It comes out so juicy and tasty.... now I am starving can't wait until dinner!
