Why? Thank you.

I use coconut oil. Just throwing that out there.

Sooo, we went to Red Robin today and I'm quite sure that was the most delicious Guacamole Bacon Cheezburger I have EVER eaten.

The waiter looked at me funny when he took our dishes, because he previously saw me eating the burger with my hands, but then saw the untouched Red Robin bun on my plate . lol

Tomorrow I'm going to do the hot dog thing and put 1/2 the oopsie on the cookie sheet, put 1/2 a hot dog wrapped in cheez on top of that, and then the other 1/2 of the oopsie to cover it like a blankie. I'm quite sure it'll be a nummy SuperBowl treat.

I prefer flaxmeal-almond meal always seems too grainy for me.

[UtahMama]

I agree. The flaxmeal is more of a flour consistency. However, I do think the almond meal is better as a cheesecake crust. Oh great...now I want cheesecake!

WOOHOO!



I'm so glad you gave Red Robin a go with your oopsies! I know it is the best way ever to enjoy Red Robin. I was extremely gloaty eating my burger. LOL

I'm thinking of trying the hot dog idea as well! I want to see pictures if you can post them!

I try to stay away from flax because I have thyroid problems and I've heard that flax can interfere with that.

[Frisco]

I've never used flax meal before -not sure how I missed that it was allowed on induction!

Does it change the taste of Oopsies or just the texture?

Thanks in advance for the tips.

According to DANDR 02, it's not really. Only 1 tbsp is allowed if you are having constipation issues. It is not listed on the acceptable foods list.

Thanks for the clarification! I appreciate it.

I'm try to stay close to the induction plan until I am a little closer to my goal (my vice is a Splenda Mojito every couple of weeks). Also DH is doing this with me and I do not want to accidentally derail him - this time around has been much slower for him.

OH NO, the thanks is all mine!!!! that first bite was indescribable...divine, decadent, delicious..all seem so tame!!
I was amazed that they tasted like eclairs...maybe the French know something? anyway....i am going to make some for breakfast with gravy or as french toast.....i make a killer lc sausage gravy!! you know atkins has sunday pancake recipe that you make sausage and egg put between two pancakes and top with sour cream and chives...i bet this would be GREAT!!!
BTW, how did you come up with this????

lindaokc - From the research that I have done, Flaxseed is supposed to help the thyroid and be a great source for your essential fatty acids. I'm just curious where you heard the contrary?

Frisco - I think the flaxseed added to the taste of the oopsie rolls. I only used a tablespoon but I really liked it. I used golden flax after reading that a lot of people prefer this to the regular flax. It has a lighter color and more subtle flavor. My next batch I'm using two tablespoons.

I love experimenting with the rolls. There are so many great ideas that you all have contributed!

I have been on a very strict induction since Jan.2nd. I have lost 10 lbs, which was all in the first 2 weeks) and have been stalled since. Not really a problem, I am still in ketosis, or was until last night. I hope I didn't mess up too bad.
Last night I was getting stuff out of the freezer for today's BIG GAME and I saw a lonley Carb Smart Fudge Bar in the freezer. I didn't really want it, it was just there, all alone in the box. Just that one. I don't know why but I ate it. I felt really bad after I ate it but couldn't do anythig about it. I was feeling pretty low so I went to the kitchen and got my comfort food out and ate it too.....
A BIG OOPSIE w/ BUTTER, SPLENDA & CINNAMON.
I sure felt a lot better after that.
THANKS CLEO!!!!!!!YOU'RE A GOOD FRIEND

FINALLY! I finished reading this thread, but now I have no time OR ingredients to try them out. Maybe tomorrow... I'm excited to try out my "folding" prowess.

1 or 2 tbls per day actually. If you add the 2-4 tbl to a whole batch it's perfectly acceptable unless of course you are eating a whole batch a day or more.

The other night after dinner I was really wanting something sweet. I checked out what I had on hand and decided to make a cannolli-esque kind of dessert. Super yummy!!

I took one of my thicker Oopsie rolls and carefully split it horizontally to make a top and a bottom roll. Then I took about 2 Tbls ricotta cheese, a small splash of vanilla Davinci's and mixed that well with a fork. Spread that on the bottom roll and add about 2 tsp of sweetened carob chips (or whatever "chips" you use) and add the top roll. MMMmmmmm. . .

Can you say Chocolate Chip Cannolli Sammie. . .????

Sadly, though, (lol) I'm doing a M/E week starting today, so I won't be able to add this dessert back in for another week. But it SOOOOO hit the spot!

Laters!

Andrea =)

That sounds delish!! I think that I may go for a grilled cheese using colby and jazz it up with tomato and fresh basil. That was my favorite once upon a time.

Today is my birthday!!! I made myself an OOPSIE Pizza! It was sooooo good! I followed someone else's recipe for using 6 eggs but I did add Designer whey to the batch (half scoop, only). I made 8 oopsie buns and 1 substantial size square for a pizza. I added no sugar pasta sauce, mozzarella fresh oregano and turkey pepperoni (my favorite). Baked it at 350 for 5 minutes...turned on the broiler to crisp it up a little more....Very delicious!

This has been a fun, non-guilty eating birthday for me!!! hehe

Ya know, it's been so long ago, I can't tell you where I even heard it. If flaxmeal is supposed to help, I will start using it. I try not to eat it often just because of what I've heard. Isn't it funny how something like that will stick w/ us, even if it's not true? I will do some research now. THanks for the info.

Happy birthday, babydollsea!

I hope you have a great day!!!
