more ponies!

another pony with a normal name, which is something i might make into a series. this time it's steve (short for stevia)! you can also call them stevie. their special talent is probably making sweet foods/drinks, or growing sweet plants to then turn into sweet foods/drinks.

violet starchime, an astronomer/astrologer with a love for the night sky and all its constellations. i dont know much about her as i initially made her to be a part of another large oc family i've been working on, but i liked her design too much to leave her on the side forever.

(either one or both of them are dating chris)

Tips for Perfect Keto Bread:

Use eggs as a binding agent: Eggs provide structure and texture to keto bread recipes. Beating the eggs well before combining them with other ingredients ensures a light and fluffy loaf.

Experiment with flavors and add-ins: Enhance the taste and texture of your bread by adding herbs, spices, or cheese. You can also incorporate nuts, seeds, or low-carb sweeteners like erythritol or stevia.

Don't skip the resting time: Keto bread recipes often call for allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes. This step helps the dough absorb the moisture, leading to a better final texture.

Adjust baking time and temperature: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your bread while it bakes. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

Conclusion:

With these simple keto bread recipes and helpful tips, you can indulge in delicious homemade bread while maintaining your low-carb lifestyle. Whether you choose almond flour or coconut flour as your base, these recipes offer a satisfying alternative to traditional bread. Experiment

with different flavor variations and add-ins to tailor the bread to your preferences. Get creative by adding garlic and rosemary for a savory twist, or cinnamon and nutmeg for a delightful sweet option.

Remember, keto bread may have a slightly different texture compared to traditional bread due to the absence of gluten. Embrace its uniqueness and enjoy the wholesome and nutritious ingredients that go into making it.

Additionally, keto bread is best stored in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain its freshness. Slice the loaf before freezing so you can easily grab individual portions whenever you crave a slice.

Lastly, while keto bread can be enjoyed on its own, it also serves as a fantastic base for sandwiches, toast, or even low-carb French toast. It's a versatile option that allows you to stay on track with your ketogenic goals without sacrificing flavor or satisfaction.

Ingredients:

- 1 3/4 cups almond flour

- 1 teaspoon ground ginger

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1/3 cup granulated sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)

3. In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar substitute until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

6. Using a cookie scoop or by rolling the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter), place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space them apart as they will spread while baking.

These ginger snaps use almond flour and sugar substitutes to reduce the carbohydrate content, making them suitable for individuals managing their sugar intake. Adjust sweeteners according to taste preferences.

Blueberry Lemon Smoothie

2 servings

Blueberries are full of nutrients and fiber. Lemons are high in vitamin C and may help support your cardiovascular health and protect against kidney stones and anemia The banana makes the smoothie creamy but is also high in nutrients.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk

1 cup frozen blueberries

½ lemon, juice and zest

1 banana, frozen and cut in chunks (before freezing)

½ cup canned pear in juice

1 tablespoon Truvia (sugar substitute)

Directions:

In a blender add the milk, blueberries, lemon, banana, pear, and Truvia. Blend until smooth and creamy. This might take several minutes.

In tall glasses, pour in the smoothies from the blender and enjoy!

Note:

Bananas need to be peeled before freezing them as it is not possible to peel them once they are frozen.

Sweeten the smoothie to your taste. Use honey instead of stevia.

Use skim milk.

How To Enjoy Tea (And Why You Should Try To)

Okay first of all why: it fills you up. Holy fuck does the warmth fill you up. I haven't wanted to eat solid food since I started drinking tea again. Also good for you in general, especially green tea for your metabolism, and it tastes better than plain water (even ice water).

Now for how. This is long but I swear it's worth it if you have no idea where to start with tea.

Variety packs are your best friend when you are first trying out tea, especially if you don't know people who drink tea that can let you try out some of their flavors. Celestial seasonings is my favorite tea brand, and they have a lot of variety packs, but so do other brands. Think about what flavors you like to eat or drink. I like fruit a lot so of course I got their fruit variety pack. Pick out what sounds most appealing to you first, but even if you don't like it, DON'T GIVE UP, try other flavors. I promise you, you will find at least one tea that you like, even if it isn't in that variety pack. Also I try to avoid teas that say "stress relief" but mention nothing about the flavor. I don't usually believe that it will relieve my stress while I'm standing in the grocery store having done no research on whether that tea will in fact relieve my stress or not, and because of their crappy marketing I now also have no idea what it will taste like. Pick out a tea that at least attempts to tell you what it tastes like.

The first time you brew a cup of tea, follow the directions on the package to the best of your ability. You can play with amount of water, temperature, steeping time, etc. later, but it's important to taste the tea when it's made exactly how you're supposed to make it so that you know whether you like it or not. You might not have a tea kettle that gets it to an exact temp, that's okay, usually it mentions boiling or almost boiling or something like that along with the ideal temperature, so even if you don't know exactly what temp the water is you can try to go off of that. Also think about whether you would like it better it if the taste was stronger, you can always add another tea bag or reduce the amount of water next time. It's not always better to steep it for longer, tea bags release tannins which make it taste a little more bitter if it's in for too long. Depending on how the tea is made it might have more or less tannins, so just be careful. At the same time, too many times to count I have thrown one tea bag in a 24oz travel mug and left it in there until I was done with the tea. It depends on the tea and on your taste buds, but I've never had a problem with it, I just want you to be careful and not blame the tea if it's too bitter but you steeped it for an hour.

STEVIA. I love putting stevia in my tea. Stevia will not break your fast, it's super sweet, it's more potent than sugar, it's awesome. I think it enhances the flavor of the tea, but even if it doesn't enhance the flavor for you, it will make it sweeter. BUT the first time you try a certain tea, try it without any extras first, you might not need sweeteners for this tea.

Remember that you might not like certain kinds of tea plain (I hate plain green tea), but a lot of companies combine other flavors with it. Again, celestial seasonings for the win. Candy cane lane is green tea but it tastes more minty and I don't even like mint that much but I think it's really good. Boom. Tazo green ginger tea? Didn't think I would like it but damn it's actually good. Both green teas that actually taste good. Another reason I like celestial seasonings is because candy cane lane is a holiday flavor but I can buy it at the same price at the end of August as in December, and on amazon no less.

Here are my favorite teas:

Celestial seasonings raspberry zinger, white chocolate peppermint, candy cane lane, vitamin c shine (with some stevia thrown in there it literally tastes like heated up fruit juice it's so good). Yogi detox tea (don't know that I believe that it helps detox anything but it's a yummy spicy tea).

Don't get too hung up on which teas will be healthiest for you, obviously if you find a green tea or an oolong tea that you like, go for it, but tea in general is incredibly healthy. Plus, I'm guessing if you’re on edblr you don't care too much about your health, just increasing your metabolism or suppressing your appetite. Not all teas will increase your metabolism but warm liquid will certainly curb your appetite.

Please lmk if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer them or tell you that I have no idea lol.
