Last minute Valentine's Day Present



Mod Podge (super glossy)
Canvas
Map
Red Color Pencil
Scissors

Cut the map so it can wrap around the canvas.
Draw a heart around the city you met and color it in.
I made a index card out of scrapes stating the State and "Where we first met."
Glue down the index card to the map.
Place glue on the back of the map and glue it to the canvas (making sure to glue the wrapped parts down well) rub out any bubbles.
Wait for it to dry about 10 min.
Then brush it on the front of the map so it has a glossy finish.
*It won't cure for four weeks but it'll be dry enough to give in about a half hour.

Pizza Dough (Keto)


1/3 cup almond flour
1 &1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch or 2 of garlic salt
1 pinch dry oregano
1 pinch dry basil
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese
1 egg (separate yolk you wont need this)

Combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, , and herbs together in a bowl. Brake up any lumps.
Add the egg white throughly and set it aside.
In a microwave safe bowl combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
Heat the cheeses for 30-40 seconds and mix together. Heat again if needed, stirring the cheese between each round. They should form a sticky, stringy, cheesy ball.
Finally, stir the eggy ingredients into your cheesy ingredients. The final dough will be sticky and pasty.
Place the dough into the refrigerator for 20 min.
You can preheat the oven at this time at 375°.
You'll want to bake this dough before you top it.  375° for 15 to 20 min depending on oven.
*I don't use the yolk because it make it taste eggy.

Chaffel


1 large egg -yolk
1 teaspoon mayo
1 tablespoon soften cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 packet of stevia (single serving)
2 tablespoons almond flour or 1tbls coconut flour
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed

Mix all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
Pour into mini waffle maker and enjoy.

When I made chaffels for the first time I had to play with it cause I dont like that eggy taste and I don't want milk productsin it. So I found when you skip the yolk you loose the eggy taste and get a regular waffle taste.
It kinda reminds me of white bread if you let it cool and bag it.
