Who Is That Chunky Little Monkey?

As you might know, part of my story is that I used to be a fat kid – they called me “blubber thing” at summer camp.  I’ve been surprised by the number of people who have told me that they don’t believe that I actually was an obese kid.

In preparation for my wedding – only 11 days away! – my dad has been digging up old photos of me to put on a DVD to be played at our rehearsal dinner.  I was over my parent’s house last night, looking through the pics that he found.  Wow, it’s no wonder that I avoided the camera as much as was humanly possible!

The Disheveled Fitness Chef – Josef Makes a Low-Carb Mock Danish

I can’t believe how yummy this simple recipe is!

One of my clients, Paula (not Dean), was kind enough to share this mock Danish recipe with me.  So, now everyone asking for breakfast ideas beyond bacon and eggs has a new and easy option.

Oh, and while I am disheveled on the video I always shower before I meet with clients:-).

The Mock Danish

Ingredients

2 oz cream cheese (2)
1 large egg, beaten(0.6)
1 packet Splenda(1)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract(0.3)

Directions

1. Put cream cheese in a small, microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until softened.

2.  Remove from microwave. Stir in the egg, Splenda and vanilla extract into the cream cheese.

More Ideas From Paula About Variations on the Mock Danish

“I sometimes use a couple of tablespoons of the DaVinci’s sugar-free syrups instead of a Splenda packet, like raspberry or cinnamon. Also, a sprinkle of cinnamon makes it taste even more like a cinnamon roll.  It’s also good with a spoonful of SF jam on top. There are lots of ways to modify it.”
