I saw these the other day and I'm still trying to make sense of it, unless they mean perfect size for 1 mug cake? do they sell the mug cakes in 4 packs? that would make sense since the frosting has 4 servings. Edit: Yeah, that explains it. DH mug cakes come in 4 packs and they don't include frosting. "Perfect Size for 1" is their product name (instead of mug cake) so I feel like the marketing department must've been really drunk/high the day of approval.
PS I've tried them and I find it offensive to call these things cake.
They've SOLD dry pancake mix IN a plastic bottle for lazy campers for, like, 50 years. This isn't worthy of a LPT.

My best friend and I did Keto Thanksgiving last year! Here is what we made:
Here is a link to the Keto Thanksgiving thread from last year! Links to the recipes I used, and my personal feedback on how it all went, plus everyone else's ideas and recipes!
Looks like Amazon has it: Good Dee’s Corn Bread Baking Mix - Grain Free, Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, and Low Carb,7.5 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DK7RVG1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Tji6Bb3KV5YXS
When you get to your goal weight, you can eat stupid once a week and be just fine. You'll feel much better when you're at that point. It sucks for a solid month or two. After that, you're good. They even make low carb tortillas and low carb bread nowadays. But don't be eating this bullshit until you're past the induction phase. Stick with the meat, vegetables (no starches) and water. If you want alcohol, drink Vodka or Red Wine, but know that when you drink alcohol, your body will burn that first before burning fat, so try to stay away from alcohol when you can.
So I’ve been using chebe cheese bread mix to make pizza. It gives you a much more consistent result.

I started using their pizza crust mix and it’s even better as it has some herbs in there to give it an extra Italian flavor.
Pro tips:
Fellow celiac here! I have a horrible selection for grocery stores, so I buy a lot of things off of Amazon a case at a time. It is way cheaper than I can find anywhere this way. Stop buying the Udi's muffins. Honestly, they taste like crap and you can make ones that are soooo much better! I like to do a lot of baking mixes so I don't have to guess on what ratios of flours to use. Anyways, here are a few of my favorites:
If you get adventurous and want to try baking your items with a flour substitute, Cup4cup or Better Batter are both great. I've used them both as replacements of regular flour in things I've made and turned out very similar to using regular flour. I also make my own chicken fingers using the GF Bisquick (there is a GF chicken finger recipe on the box). We also eat a lot of rice and quinoa.
I used this pancake mix.
It definitely tastes healthy but its actually my favorite breakfast atm! Instead of using water, eggs, and coconut oil, I used unsweetened cashew milk, egg beaters, and light butter which tasted a lot better and is lower in calories.
First thing I'd recommend: buy some carbquik and check out all the awesome replacement recipes because if you're like me, you love Pizza.
Also Great Low Carb Bread Co has some amazing bread & pasta products (Netrition carries it for cheaper shipping if you're on the east coast like me) and look into cauliflower rice/potatoes if you like those staples.
The hardest part of the transition for me was not having access to food staples. It hamstrung my start twice before I found these options. These days I eat mostly Paleo and natural foods, so I eat less of these, but they're amazing stepping stone tools to get you into the diet with low effort.
behold
Carbquik makes awesome pancakes.
Hubby made this for my birthday.. so good! https://smile.amazon.com/Swerve-Sweets-Bundle-Chocolate-Vanilla/dp/B07NXMQ987/
Totally unrelated but I bought these like a month ago. Haven't made them yet but they have great reviews! Little more economical too. Good Dee's is another Amazon baking favorite of mine but screw the price tag... I make exceptions for her cornbread (add bacon, cheese, jalapeno, omg) for holidays though.
The first few months are hard but I promise it gets better and that you’re doing an awesome job. Trying to breastfeed is so so hard and demanding and stressful on top of everything else about being a new mom. I struggled with breastfeeding in the beginning and supplemented with formula for a few weeks before my LO got his tongue tie fixed (we didn’t realize it at first that that was the reason). I know it’s easier said than done, trust me, but try not to feel guilty about supplementing. If you are anything like me, I was determined to be successful at breastfeeding so I tried everything. I was pumping every few hours as well as putting LO on the boob so that I would keep producing. It was a struggle. If you haven’t yet, please try lactation cookies and mothers tea. I will link both. The cookies are actually really good and I swear both of those things helped me produce enough milk. Eventually, I was able to provide for my LO with just breast milk. It gets SO much easier but if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. The most important thing you can do is focus on your child and give her whatever she needs, be it formula or breast milk.

I use it at least twice a week. For certain recipes it's amazing. I use it for frying exclusively and with a flavored sauce it taste pretty close to flour. They have. Cheese biscuit recipe and a tollhouse chocolate chip cookie that are also my favorites
You could also do this recipe battered with soy flour.
If you buy two boxes it's like 11 bucks a box....i use it often and might buy two boxes a year

You know, I was going to be a smartass and respond with a link to a product like this on Amazon, until I found that, while it exists on the US Amazon site, it seems that it doesn't exist on yours. Carry on then, fellow exchangees.
Have you heard of Kodiak mixes? They're high protein baking mixes. I've seen muffin, pancake, waffle, etc. You could make up a batch of those early in the week and have it during the day.
I also found an almond flour banana bread recipe that I'm waiting to try out- but can't personally vouch for it. Good reviews though.
Banana bread: http://livesimply.me/2013/06/01/almond-flour-banana-bread/
One of the Kodiak Cake products I've tried- a microwave muffin in a cup- it was actually really good. I'm a sucker for blueberry muffins so this was a nice way to get the craving out of the way and also get protein and fiber.

For sure! A product called Chebe has been a lifesaver. It is mostly tapioca ("manioc") flour, I think it has some cream of tartar or something else too.
I use the general mix according to the directions on the box, but I do my own thing once the dough is mixed up.
One batch of dough on one cookie sheet will make a thinner crispier pizza that still won't snap if you fold it, thin but not like a cracker.
One batch on a 14" round pizza pan will give you a more chewy and slightly thicker crust.
Follow the directions on the box, but use a tiny bit less water than they say. Only add it if the dough refuses to pick up residual flour in your mixing bowl. It should be sticky but not "wet" when it goes in the pan.
Once the dough is mixed, oil your pan and press the dough in. It's forgiving, so you can manhandle it and smack it around until it's uniform in thickness with a slight dip at the middle. Just make sure there is dough everywhere and no bare spots and you'll be fine.
Bake the crust at 350 with nothing on it for 7 minutes. Pull it out, and slide the whole thing off the pan back into the oven directly on the rack for 8 more minutes. Then pull it out, set the oven to 450, top the pizza, and pop it in whenever. I never time the next part, watch it after 10 minutes for the right level of cheese-browning that you like. I let mine get brown all over.
Its a great mix of textures, crispy and chewy. And it even reheats well!
If you are looking for low cal brownies you can get Kodiak Brownie mix. https://smile.amazon.com/Kodiak-Cakes-Brownie-Chocolate-18-Ounce/dp/B003EJ3YPM/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485908639&sr=8-1&keywords=kodiak+brownies
There is also No pudge brownie mix. These are pretty good but pricey. https://smile.amazon.com/No-Pudge-Brownie-Original-13-7-Ounce/dp/B000GZYAN2/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485908684&sr=8-1&keywords=pudge+brownie+mix
1 packet Ghirardelli double chocolate brownie mix
Add eggs, water, oil per recipe.
Cook.

Waffle iron plus Carbon's Golden Malted equal waffle bliss any time I want.
Nah, don't feel bad. For stuff like that I just squeeze it into my macros. May get a bit over in sugar for the day, but easily manageable overall. You don't have to live and die by your diet. Over time I've found there's a lot of healthier junk food options if you look for it. I'll swear by this shit. I learned about it at Wal-Mart.
I have fooled many people with this crust. It is just as good as any regular pizza crust in my opinion:

It used to be on amazon, sold out though. I think it costed around 5 bucks.
Edit: according to /u/techh10's post it costs 20$, my bad. And yea, that's quite a bit of money.
I think it works pretty well, but I still swear by https://www.amazon.com/Cup4Cup-KTS-2519-Gluten-Free-Flour/dp/B0096MPAWQ. Still it's not a ready-made pie crust recipe.
Generally, I've found the best crusts have condensed milk powder in them. I'm not sure if the Pillsbury blend has it though.
I beg to [differ.] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Portal-The-Cake-Official-licensed/dp/B00CDKYVKU/)
(It is, however, bloody expensive)
Available from your local distribution warehouse.
Although, it's cheaper if you get it with raisins.
Nice try, 4chan
Get yourself some malted flour. You will have crispy, flavorful waffles every time.
Boom - single serving & microwavable. Have not tried yet.
Oh wait! DID find the watermelon one on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crocker-Watermelon-Cake-Cupcake/dp/B00IK00JIU

Never mind that bread for time-immemorial is centrally gluten. Gluten comes from wheat flours when you knead it. Strictly the very same proteins that become gluten from mechanical effects are always there and are in all wheat!
Those big bubbles in sour dough bread - only with gluten.
Most risen bread bubbles - only with gluten.
Want to know what non-gluten bread looks like? Communion wafers, matzo or pita bread, or solid breads like banana bread, or certain types of heavy nordic/germanic/slavic breads like B&M Brown Bread in a Can
Hell, you can buy gluten by the 10-pound to add to your home-made bread - it makes bread "normal" without the effort of having to knead the dough into gluten so much. Most commercial, mass-produced breads don't rely only on kneading and take this short cut.
Honestly anyone serious about skipping glutens in bread should only be making their own bread from scratch. Of course the first thing they will discover: it's not going to taste as nice as the glutenated stuff and it actually takes some modicum of effort which is probably too much work for these scumbags.
Morons like this need to be put in camps! Their stupidity is a threat to others the rest of society.
Thanks for hosting! This was a lot of fun! Some of the best memories are made in flip flops.
While there is, truly, shame in the pancake mix game...I still LOVE:
Carbon's Pancake and Waffle flour
IF you use a mix, use Carbon's, otherwise what you see in the thread is exactly what you are looking for. I would advocate adding a bit of vanilla to your home made pancake mix though.
And whatever you do...be sure to use peanut butter on your pancakes.
That's for a six pack. Not a bad deal if you like it.
Lakanto Low Carb, Gluten-free, Protein Pancake Waffle Mix | Original 1 Pound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071ZQJV4X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_dTMuBb3yhFfrp
I used Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup with them and I am 100% pleased. Also have some bacon here and avocado with nutrional yeast.
Cup4cup is flour, made with things that are not wheat - like, rice flour and tapioca and potato starch. I work in a kitchen store, and the gluten-free customers are really enthusiastic about it.
I'm not a health professional, but to my understanding, going gluten-free essentially has no health benefits unless you are Celiac or allergic to wheat or have some level of gluten intolerance. Some people don't even realize their slight allergy or intolerance until they go gluten-free and suddenly feel better. As long as you maintain a healthy balance, gluten-free is not actively unhealthy. You can still eat rice, quinoa, barley, millet, potatoes, and other starches.
The benefits of supporting your spouse and not having to plan twice the number of meals might make it worth a try.
Bonus: Here is an easy way to fix rice, barley, or millet. In a covered casserole dish, combine some rice, barley, or millet with twice as much broth (beef, chicken, veggie, mushroom, whatever you like), cover, and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. For softer barley, you can add more liquid. Easy squeezy.
It's not really so much as combining as it is just avoiding breads and flour-based food. If you are ok with gluten (most people are) and still want to have bread options, Carbquik will let you make bread, biscuits, etc that don't taste like utter crap.
I also keep several packs of these on hand for taco night, or just for snacking.
If you do need to go GF, then you'll likely be making a lot of the substitute foods with several different types of nut flours, and then just adding a bunch of fiber to the recipe. If you love cooking, then it's a win/win.
Amazon has a couple flavors, but basically I just make it like the instructions say and mix some abv into it before cooking it in the microwave. I grind the abv well so it's flavor is almost unnoticeable.
I got it from Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BU8SM60/ref=cm_sw_r_apap_bj8peDksBFrfU
It tastes really good but it's a bit on the chewy side. I recommend toasting.
My wife's milk supply was dropping after leaving NICU and she was trying all different things to help increase it. Not sure which ones worked but her supply did improve within a couple days. Again, don't know how much each played a role but the advice was provided by her lactation specialists and family members that work in L&D.
You might not want powdered sugar if you were going to put fruit topping on the funnel cake. Or you don’t like that much sugar. The funnel cake and even Krispy Kreme original donuts are good without the sugar glaze. More savory. Funnel cake with cinnamon sugar would be good, and powder sugar would dilute the cinnamon.
For those wishing for funnel cakes, you can make them at home. [Mix with funnel pitcher](Funnel Cake Starter Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00191L3YQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_hnvhDb987N0HG) The mix just uses water, so you don’t have to make the whole box at one time. I look at how to videos to see how thick batter is supposed to be. Just mix a little water at a time until you reach the right consistency. Fresh, hot funnel cake for one or two!
oooh you just reminded me! i used to make mug brownies with this brownie mix and it was super low in points, maybe 3? perhaps OP will find that more useful since she/he can make them one at a time.
i also completely agree that the WW treats are basically a waste of points. they just aren't that good - to me they taste chemical-y.
That one is original, but does everyone realize that you can buy Japanese kits that let you do this kind of thing yourself? These are toy kits that make edible candy that looks like teeny-tiny versions of various foods:
What makes me happy is making and finishing a craft, their is something magical about making something with your own two hands with raw material.
