Fell Off The Wagon Last Night :(

[John_Morse]

I've been doing atkins the last month to re-loose some weight I had gained back since falling off the wagon. I have lost 10 lbs the last month but last night my daughter made some brownies and I couldn't resist the smell of them. So I lost it and ate two. I'm back today and then I got a reminder message from the admins that I haven't posted in a while... wow! Just the support I needed. Thanks Admin's/Owner!
I'm back on track today. Hopefully I reach my goal this time.

Good for you being back. Getting back is the most important thing. You cannot fail if you do that.

Here is a brownie recipe that I want to try. You would have to be on rung three because of all the chocolate and nuts in it but it looks good. Maybe you and your daughter could make it together some time

Servings: 48
Author Notes: These brownies are decadently dense, rich, and moist.
Ingredients: 10 ounces (285 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
16 tablespoons (240 ml) unsalted butter, at room temperature (2 sticks)

4 large eggs
2 teaspoons (10 ml) instant coffee granules
1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) pure chocolate extract (optional)
1 1/2 cups (360 ml) almond meal (finely ground almonds)
6 tablespoons (90 ml) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoons (1.2 ml) sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoon (7.5 ml) baking powder
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 13 x 9-inch (32.5 x 22.5-cm) baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, mix the almond meal, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. Add to the chocolate mixture and beat well. Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is firm. Cool on a wire rack before cutting. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
