I didn't know I liked pork rinds until a few weeks ago. I also had no idea how versatile they were. I've used them for cauliflower tots, breading for chicken and fish, and now cereal! I was skeptical at first, but this was truly delicious. If it wasn't so calorie rich I would go make more right now. I also made some caramel almonds, so I'm pretty full. I used this recipe as a base. I just changed it a little bit. I really like some of the stuff on his blog.

So I've been really hungry the last couple of days because Bowen is hungry all the time. I decided to do some mug cake research. I tried a 5 ingredient chocolate mug cake. It was edible, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as some of the others I had tried. Then I stumbled onto a classic mug cake recipe. It seems that almost all the mug cake recipes I like are practically based off of this recipe. There was a cinnamon roll variation. So since I had two failed cinnamon roll attempts this week I couldn't wait to try it even though I wasn't that hungry after the other mug cake. I was glad I tried it because it was spectacular compared to my other two attempts. I updated the old cinnamon roll recipe.

I went over, but like I said I've been really hungry. I'm not really gaining, so I think my body needs the extra calories to make more milk. I'm not going to worry about it unless I start gaining.
I made a lot of new Myfitnesspal friends today. So that will also help keep me on track. I was able to workout a little bit today too.
