Detox Day 8

Well, here it is day 8. Tonight I went through total dessert cravings. I totally wanted to go to the store and get a brownie or something. I literally had nothing to snack on that sounded good. I was wanting peanuts, there were none,I wanted cake, could not have. I just wanted something and while there was food around, none of it would satisfy my craving for something sweet and cake-like, so I got creative. I made a cake out of the oddest ingredients that I could actually eat on my diet. I figured my protein powder looked similar to flour, and I had some bananas, and hey, they go well in banana bread. I then added 5 eggs since I can eat those and eggs usually go in cakes. I figured I needed a "milk" too so I added some almond milk, chocolate flavor to it. I mashed it all up and mixed it together and dumped it into the pan. It looked kind of boring and I was not sure if the banana would make it sweet enough, so I took my bag of mixed berries out of the freezer and sprinkled them throughout. I knew it would take at least 45 min to bake and a heated the oven to 350. I threw the nice looking thing into the oven. After 25 min I checked it. It was browning too quickly around the edges and the top was already crisp, but you could see that it was not setting at all in the center. The only part of the "cake" that was set was about 1/2 inch around the outside where the pan heat was cooking it. I turned the heat down to 300 and put it back in for another 25 min. I took it out and let it cool just in time for Walter to get home from work. I came nicely out of the pan. I cut it into slices and took a bit. Wow...it was not bad, not bad at all. It gave just the flavors I was craving but made out of things that I was allowed to eat. I probably should not have eaten it this late, but I did and enjoyed it. I never went to the store to buy a brownie or cupcake so mission accomplished! Only 2 days left of this! Not that my diet will change much from this, but it will be nice to have that little bit of freedom!
