Join me and bring your questions to learn what I do and why I do it. Let’s kickstart the metabolism
I'm in!
Hope everyone is doing well.
Happy Sunday evening.
Just get my ingredients together, then I'll introduce myself and we'll get started.
Hello. Hey Cook, how's it going?
Hope you're doing well.
Alright, I'll go ahead and introduce myself and get started.
Hello and good evening. I am Maggie, your substitute teacher.
I'm a boy mom times two.
I am on a health and wellness journey and I am trying to age gracefully.
I'm down over 70 pounds, very close to another milestone.
You'll hear about it soon.
By completely changing the way that I eat.
I've gotten tested for food sensitivities.
That's my list on the fridge of what I can have.
And I have a list of what I can't have.
So my food sensitivity test.
Hey Belle, come on in.
For anybody new here, it was a cheek swab on the inside and some hair samples.
And so that's what I work within.
I am doing my weekly egg reset and someone had asked a question about that.
So I just figured I'd come on live.
I just got home from the circus.
That was fun.
So I'm doing eggs and apples today.
Plus I have a couple, let's see.
Going on a trip, going on a trip.
Okay, whatever, focus Maggie.
So today and when I do the egg reset, all I eat are eggs and apples.
Or eggs and strawberries if I don't have apples.
Plus because I'm traveling, I had a couple apples left.
I'm going to eat one raw.
And then I'm going to go ahead and do the apple dessert in the air fryer.
Some of you all have seen it before.
And I want to give it some extra time.
So I'm going to go ahead and start with that.
I think I used my apple corer this morning.
So it may be in the dishwasher.
That's fine.
I know what I will do.
I will bake it the old-fashioned way.
So I have an apple.
I don't know what kind of apple this is, but it looks good.
It's got a couple spots on it.
So anytime I see an apple or any fruit that's got a little bruised fruit or vegetable,
I want to go ahead and use it.
So I'm going to start by washing.
Uh-oh.
And we'll just do some old-school baked apples.
Hey, Paige.
All right, so we're starting with dessert.
All right, so for this dessert, all you need is an apple.
Butter.
If you can have regular butter, go for it.
I can't.
I found out I am sensitive to cow dairy.
So I am going to be using goat's butter.
So that's the substitute that I use.
And if you can have sugar, go for it.
But I'm using this Truvia.
This one is a blend.
It is brown sugar blend stevia and brown sugar.
I meant to get the one that was just stevia.
And I'm going to use a little bit of that.
And cinnamon or nutmeg or whatever kind of warming spice that you like.
All right, so ideally what you would do is you would use your apple core to go all the way inside here.
But you know what I'm going to do?
I'm just going to go ahead and cut it.
I just thought of something I haven't made in a while.
I make a very good baked apple dessert if you like apple pie type of vibe.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to cut the apple.
I've done it with...
I'm going to go ahead and peel it.
I'm just going to old school peel the apple.
So we're going to peel it and then I'm going to cut it.
And then I'm going to just take the center out.
So all you have is the flesh of the apple.
We're going to toss it with some butter and spices.
Pour it on a baking sheet and bake it.
That's what we're going to do.
All right, so let me get to peeling.
I'll just do it here.
Usually I do it in front of the sink.
But I'll talk to you guys about this egg and apple fast while I am making this dessert.
So one of the things that a nutritionist told me years ago that I don't see anymore
because I'm guilty of just kind of avoiding the scale like eggs.
Until I started taking my weight loss journey pretty seriously.
I know there are some people who don't weigh at all.
They just see how their clothes fit.
But the program that I'm on, I have a starting weight and I have a goal weight.
And luckily for me, my metabolic specialist allows me to weigh myself at home
because obviously, you know, if you say you're losing and you're not.
So just peeling my apple.
I know the nutrients are in the skin.
I'm going to eat a whole one.
But this is for the baked apple dessert.
So what I do is I have a routine where I weigh myself every day.
This is completely optional.
But the nutritionist that I used to see, it was part of a company I used to work for.
She had a pretty interesting solution for that.
You know, if you have any type of shock or phobia with the number on the scale,
she said just make it a habit to weigh yourself every day.
I had never heard of that.
Scraping out my feelings.
All right.
So we've got our apple here.
I'm just going to go ahead and cut in half and then cut in half and then cut in half.
So we're going to have our sections of eight.
So she said weigh yourself every day.
And I was like, wow, that's pretty intense.
But she said when you make it like a habit where you just weigh yourself every day,
like in the morning after you brush your teeth.
You know, that's what I do.
We all have our morning routine.
Careful with the knife, Maggie.
I'm just thinking as I'm doing this, I'm making this completely up.
But it will be good.
And I'll tell you what I'm doing.
I'm just taking the seeds out of my apple.
I'm just cutting it into little sections after peeling it.
So I started doing that.
I started weighing myself every day.
And what it does is it kind of gets the shock out of your system with the number on the scale.
Because, you know, some of us are guilty, I know, of not getting on the scale at all until you go to the doctor for your physical.
And then they're telling you, you know, what your BMI is, telling you that you are, you know, overweight, obese.
I mean, if you're here watching, you've probably, you know, struggled with that.
So I just started weighing myself just to kind of get to the number.
Yes, I know the number.
I see it every day.
Okay.
So when I started my weight loss journey, this one that I'm on, the one for life, the serious one.
All right.
So you guys see what I've done with my apple?
I just peeled it.
And I think I'm going to cut it into smaller pieces because it will actually cook faster.
So I'm just going to do a rough chop.
I started weighing myself every day.
I know the number.
No shocker.
But what's good about that, not only does it get you out of the phobia of, oh, my gosh, you know, I don't want to look.
But it lets you see when you're going up or down pretty regularly.
Now, I know weight fluctuates, right?
But I actually am tracking my weight in my iPhone app.
And I do like the graph where it's, you know, coming down.
I was hoping for pretty consecutively.
Showing you guys what I'm doing with the apple.
You can see just rough chop.
But what I learned about my, hey, Urban, what I learned about my weight loss journey once I took it seriously, even when I'm eating really, you know, clean on my plan.
I'm not going to lie to you guys.
I like to enjoy myself.
I'm flying out Friday for spring break travel.
I will take you along with me.
But, you know, when I go somewhere new, I want to eat, you know, the local food.
I want to have that experience.
So lost a piece of apple.
Mm hmm.
Just by itself, it's good.
Trying to see if this is big enough.
OK, so what I'm going to do, I'm coming back to my story.
I'm using my glass gravy boat.
I'm going to melt some butter, brown sugar, my sweetener substitute, and nutmeg.
You can use cinnamon or whatever warming spice that you like.
Just eyeballing everything.
I'm making this up as I go, but I think it'll be good.
And I'll show you.
So I have a nice pat of goat's butter.
I'm just putting it inside.
And I think I'm going to melt the butter by itself.
Again, you can whole foods, Delamere goat's butter.
So this is going to go in for like 30 seconds.
And I'm going to use my air fryer.
So I have my air fryer tray.
I'm going to line it with foil.
So, again, with the weight loss, weigh yourself every day.
If that's something you want to do, which is what I decided to do.
I noticed that my weight doesn't come down, you know, pretty regularly.
Even if it's just like a half a pound, it comes down as stair steps.
All right, so this is what we have.
Pause that.
I'm coming back to the story.
So I've got my melted butter.
Goat's butter me because I'm sensitive to cow dairy.
And then, again, just eyeballing.
If you can have brown sugar, use brown sugar.
I can't.
I avoid sugar.
So I'm using this.
This is Truvia.
This is a brown sugar blend.
I think it's 50-50, half brown sugar, half Stevia.
So I'm going to put a healthy tablespoon of sweetener in with the brown sugar.
Let me know if you know where this is going.
A heaping teaspoon.
I'm greedy.
So you guys can see, it looks just like brown sugar, and it kind of clumps like brown sugar, like sand.
And then I'm going to sprinkle generous with the nutmeg.
I think I have some cinnamon down there.
I'll look and see if it's close.
Eyeballing it, completely making it up.
All right.
So we've got some cinnamon.
All right.
So now I'm just going to mix it.
Butter, brown sugar, and spices that you like.
Smells so good, especially warm.
Probably could have used a little bit more butter.
But it's okay.
We've got a nice little paste.
Now I'm going to dump my chopped apples in here.
Probably should have used a larger bowl.
Let's see.
I've got my little folding mat.
So I'm just going to curve it and slide it into the gravy boat.
So this is what we have.
I want to shake it.
I love my gravy boats, but I need more surface area.
So imagine a shaker salad.
I'm just going to pour everything in here.
Scrape out.
Probably need some more butter.
Scrape this out.
Yeah.
It's kind of clumped up.
And I'm going to stir and see.
I just want to get everything coated.
Okay.
It's not that bad.
Tossing it together.
Looks good already.
I see a piece.
I want to eat it.
You could probably do this.
It's just a dessert.
I'll try a raw one.
So again, an apple.
Cored.
Peeled.
Brown sugar.
Cinnamon and nutmeg.
Very good, but still very crunchy.
Pouring it on a mat.
Getting all of it because I'm greedy.
Scrape this out.
If you like apple pie.
All right.
And then I'm just going to keep it together, but keep them kind of flat.
So they're not, you know, on top of each other.
So we've got time for them to cook and caramelize.
I'm just making like a little square, but one level.
So this is our before.
And I'm going to put this in the air fryer.
On the cake setting, 350, 20, 30 minutes.
So literally you just want the apples to soften.
You've got your spices.
You've got your sweetener.
You've got your butter.
So you'll get that nice like apple pie filling without the crust.
And then maybe I'll top it with like some whipped cream.
That'll be yummy.
So just completely made that up.
I'm coming back to my story, y'all.
Cleaning up.
I don't want to waste this.
I'm greedy.
I'm hungry, y'all.
All I've had today are two apples or maybe three and five eggs.
So I'm going to make a French omelet tonight.
But I'm coming back to my story.
All right.
Clean up.
Wash my hands.
Okay, so we were talking about weighing every day.
And what I noticed once I started doing that, the stair steps.
So what I noticed is that my weight will kind of plateau.
Then I'll drop a couple pounds.
Then plateau.
And then I'll drop a couple pounds.
And for me it can be really frustrating.
I know, my air fryer.
It sounds like a rocket.
But that can be really frustrating for me when I know I'm eating right.
We all know when we're splurging and enjoying ourselves.
But sometimes, you know, I would get really frustrated because I'm like,
I'm not, you know, splurging on anything.
And my body's just holding on to the weight.
Excuse me.
So on one visit to my metabolic specialist.
She asked me all the questions.
What about this?
What about that?
And I was like, no, I'm not doing any of that.
She said, would you be open to trying an egg reset?
I was like, what is that?
And she said, for one day, you can have eight or nine eggs.
So if you eat three meals a day, that could be three eggs in a meal.
I eat two meals a day.
So I did five this morning.
I think I'm going to do three tonight because I'm going to do the French omelet.
You eat eight or nine eggs and like four or five apples.
That's it.
Of course, have your beverages, your coffee, tea, and water.
That's pretty much what I have.
I'm not a big soda person.
But, you know, I pretty much try to drink things that grow from the earth,
like water, tea, and coffee, and save sodas or anything that's made in a
laboratory for a special treat, like at the movies.
And so I said, no, what is this egg reset?
So on an egg reset, and I'm not a doctor, I'm just a home cooker.
That's what the boys called me when they were little.
But it's kind of like a fast where it allows your body to kind of process
whatever's kind of still hanging around and gives you the protein and some
natural sugar and fiber you need to keep you full while your body is working
through everything else.
So it kind of kick starts your metabolism.
And every time I would do it, I would start to lose again after I had been
holding for a while.
Because like I said, you know, that can be really frustrating.
So I told my metabolic specialist, you know, that I really have good results
when I do this.
She said, never, back to back.
So only one day.
But you can do it as often as you want.
So I decided to do it once a week, especially for the month of March.
Because like I said, I'm traveling Friday.
And I'm very close to a major milestone that you all will hear about.
And so I'm really hoping that, you know, now that the holidays are over,
what Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, all that is over.
I really wanted to focus from March 1 to March 31 to eat on my plan and see
if I can break this threshold.
So.
Cleaning up, sorry.
Sometimes I just go into autopilot.
But yeah, so I've done it with eggs and apples.
I've done it with eggs and strawberries.
I've done it with eggs and apple day.
If you guys, you know, have been here, you know, I love to eat.
I love to cook.
And I like eating real food.
I don't promote, you know, anything that's drastic.
This is year three for me on my journey because I like to enjoy myself.
But, you know, I intend to get this weight off and I'm doing well.
I'm down 70 pounds with at least 30 more to go.
But this is just how I eat now.
So, you know, I've got a goal.
I've got a number in mind.
And then we'll just keep going after that.
All right.
So hopefully that makes sense.
I know someone had a question and I do have an older video on my YouTube
about the egg fast.
So if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.
But for now, I'm going to make this French omelet
because I am hungry.
All right.
So let's put our sweetener and cinnamon away.
Mom taught me to cook with all of my senses
so I can smell the cinnamon and the apple,
like caramelizing and getting yummy in that air fryer.
I'm really excited.
I'm thirsty.
I think I'm going to get a fridge from the car
and tell you guys a couple of the things that I've done
that have helped me.
For anybody new here,
I am going back to regular food tomorrow.
And I'm going to repeat what I did yesterday
because it was so good.
I think I'm going to do the peppers,
the stuffed peppers
for breakfast.
A couple of you all have tagged me that you've made these
and they were so good.
We literally just take a pepper,
cut the top off,
and put turkey sausage,
egg, cheese,
put it under the broiler.
It's excellent.
So that'll be my first of two meals.
And then I'm going to do the fish tacos again.
I'm going to take that fish out.
Everything's okay.
But I had a two-pack of this sea bass.
So I'm going to put this in the fridge to thaw out.
I'm going to redo the fish tacos
that we had yesterday.
They were excellent.
I'm going to do a couple of things differently.
So if you missed that,
that'll be my second meal tomorrow.
All right.
So I'm going to wash my hands
and tell you about beverages again.
One of the things that's worked for me
is to stay hydrated.
Obviously, water is great.
You've heard me talk about
alkaline water.
But one of the things that I do
pretty much every time I leave the house,
again, the Panera close to me has a,
well, there's a Panera close to me.
And if you have a Panera,
or even if you don't have a coffee shop,
sometimes the gas stations,
like Quick Trip and some of them,
they have, like, refill services
or subscriptions.
So with Panera,
you pay once a month $9.99
and you can have unlimited beverages.
I've changed all of my beverages to unsweet.
So this is unsweet iced tea.
I'm going to go ahead and put this in the fridge.
I've got a few of them in there.
I just collect them.
We'll squeeze some lemon
and put some of my zero-calorie sweetener in here.
So I kind of feel like I had something, too.
But I've cut out beverages
and condiments are a huge source
of sugar and extra calories.
You can still eat your food.
Making some changes to beverages
and condiments, you may get, you know,
some results without even trying.
So this is going to go in the fridge
and I'm going to drink this coffee.
All right.
So I'm going to go with mocha.
All right.
So skinny syrups.
This is the mocha flavor burst.
And it's basically a concentrated syrup.
I keep these in my purse.
I keep these in my car.
And I order,
this is just regular Panera coffee
with almond milk
because I have to avoid dairy.
And then I'll put a squirt of this
in there.
That way I can still have the flavor,
that coffee shop flavor
without the extra calories.
Mmm.
I love it.
So this is like a chocolate coffee flavor.
They also have vanilla
and they also have caramel.
All right.
So we're going to
have our French omelet.
So let's go ahead
and get started.
Perfect.
All right, everyone.
So the French omelet,
this morning if you were on,
I made fried eggs,
traditional fried eggs.
Because again, all I'm eating today
are eggs and apples.
When I do the reset,
since I weigh every day,
I have my number in my head
and I'm hoping to drop
a couple of pounds.
That's usually what happens,
but it just gives my body time
to process.
Because one of the things that I learned
after my food sensitivity test
is that there are some foods
that we eat that your body
just processes great.
You're running like a race car.
And there's some foods
that your body takes a long time
to really break down
and so that they hang around
and that's where you get the inflammation
and the things that I thought
was just getting older,
it's not because when I changed my diet,
I felt better within two days.
All right, so tomorrow
will be stuffed peppers for breakfast.
Because I'm traveling,
I'm trying to cut back on the shopping
and just eat up the produce that I have.
That's why we're using the apples tonight
and then peppers tomorrow
and the next day.
All right, so the French omelet
is really just about the technique.
All it is is eggs and butter.
French cooking, French cuisine
is excellent.
It's just very delicate
but they cook in a way
that kind of enhances
the natural flavor of things
and they use really good ingredients.
That's just the truth.
But I can't have cheese on my egg fast
so I'm going to make an omelet
that kind of simulates
the cheese experience.
So it's going to be set on the bottom
then you roll it into itself
so when you roll it into itself
it's almost like it has that creamy
cheesy texture on the inside
even though it's just eggs.
All right, so I'm starting with my gravy boat.
I like this.
This is just Walmart.
It allows me to pour.
I melt in it.
It's got a nice sturdy base
and a nice cool handle.
So we're going to do three eggs
because the last time when I did
four eggs it was too much.
I think the proper French omelet
they either do two or three eggs.
All right.
So the French omelet
you cook fast over high heat.
All right, egg number one.
Egg number two.
Egg number three.
So this is what we have
and I'm going to go ahead and salt them here.
Some people
salt after.
I like to salt
before or as I'm cooking.
I mean, of course, I can't taste the raw eggs.
Some people eat them raw.
I don't, but this allows you to
just kind of get that flavor
in every bite instead of on the top.
But hey, do what works for you.
I don't have to watch salt on my plan.
I have to watch sugar.
If you have to watch salt, I understand.
I don't know if I finished
talking about the beverage, though.
We did talk about the mocha.
So this is coffee, almond milk
and my point.
I keep one of these tumblers,
sometimes two of them in the car
empty and clean.
So when I'm out and about,
I usually try to.
I work from home and I don't go out
unless I have to.
But when I'm out and about running errands,
I'll have an empty tumbler with me
so I can run in and get a free refill.
And sometimes just having, you know,
a beverage, whether it's unsweet iced tea
with your own sweetener
or unsweet coffee with your own sweetener
to carry you home
so that you can come cook your own food
so that you're not in the drive-thru
like I used to be.
Salt.
I would check on the apples,
but I'm just going to let them sit
and do their thing.
I think they'll cook faster,
but I'm totally fine with that.
All right, so I'm going to salt.
And then I'm going to...
I was going to beat the eggs.
I'm going to go ahead
and put the butter in the pan.
If you can have regular butter,
please use it.
This is goat's butter made from goat's milk.
For me, it tastes like butter,
cooks like butter,
but it's non-cow dairy,
which I'm sensitive to.
So the brand is Delamere.
You can get it at Whole Foods.
You can also order it online
at Caputo's in bulk.
Okay.
So I'm going to get a nice pat of butter,
and then I'm going to tell you guys
what I'm doing.
So I've got a pat of butter,
and I'm putting it in the pan.
I'm going to go ahead and put it on the stove
on medium-high heat.
When the butter melts down,
it's going to melt,
and then it's going to foam, bubble,
before it turns brown.
You want to put the eggs in
before the butter turns brown.
That's the key with the French omelet
is that it's not brown on the outside
like an American omelet
that you stuff and fold it over each other.
You want the whole thing
to be a homogenous yellow.
So let's go ahead and get this started.
All right.
So while our butter is melting,
hey, Teranga,
I'm going to go ahead and beat my eggs.
So for the French omelet,
I have three eggs here that have been salted,
and I'm just going to beat them.
And you want to beat them kind of well.
Well, very well,
because you want the French omelet
to be all yellow.
You don't want to have,
and this is happening,
some white spots where you still had some egg white
that wasn't mixed in really well.
So I'm just beating this egg
until it's all one color.
Then I'm going to go check on the stove
and see how our butter is doing
because I need to pour this,
and then I'll tell you what happens next
because it goes kind of fast.
Okay.
So our butter is still melting.
I want to wait until it's foamy and sizzling.
All right.
So here's what's going to happen.
As soon as the butter starts foaming in the pan,
ah, you love a French omelet.
We should do a cook-along.
I'll tell you guys what that is in a second.
So as soon as the butter starts foaming,
I'm going to pour the eggs inside,
and then I'm going to continue
to beat them in the pan
over the high heat,
and that brings in,
like it whips in air
and gives you these nice little curdles in the omelet
that simulate the cheese experience
because I'm not eating cheese today.
Okay.
Our butter is ready.
I'll show you what we have.
So you guys can see it's nice and sizzling
and foamy but not brown.
All right.
I always get nervous.
I had to practice this several times,
but let's see how we do.
I've got some nice curdles in there,
and I want to get it set on the bottom
before I roll it up.
All right.
So the bottom is set to me
because when I move it, the whole thing moves.
Now here's the tricky part.
It's going to continue to cook.
I'm going to get my spatula.
So what I'm going to do
is I'm going to hold it underhand.
I'm going to get the pan underhand,
and then I'm going to flip
the first little side of the omelet
like a little roll.
You can see what we have here.
So you can see the bottom is completely set,
but the inside is still kind of jiggly.
So I'm just going to continue
to roll it carefully on itself.
You want to make sure you're using
as nice of a nonstick as you can
so when you roll it up,
it literally just comes off.
My pan, I know,
it looks kind of janky,
but this is what I have.
And I put a decent amount of butter.
And then the last little roll
is always the hardest for me.
Okay.
I think I got it.
Can you guys see there?
And I am going to plate it
so it will continue to cook
as you rolled it up into itself.
Let me see if I can get a plate
because I'm hungry.
And I'm going to check on our apples.
You guys see what we have here?
I'm going to let them keep going,
but these are our apples.
Peeled, cored, cut, butter,
brown sugar substitute,
and cinnamon and nutmeg.
All right.
I'm going to clean up
and I'm going to plate my omelet.
I know Mr. Teranga,
oh, he's so beautiful.
I was just about to ask.
I'm not a proper chef.
I'm just a home cook, so.
I appreciate the compliment, chef.
Just cleaning up.
All right.
Washing my hands.
Now let me plate.
I think in the picture
it had like some chives
or something on there.
I'm just going to do mine plain
on my egg fast.
So I have a nice square plate
and literally it should just come out
like this,
like a little burrito.
I'm going to cut into it
so you guys can see.
I think I want to get my apple
out of the air fryer.
Let me taste one
and I'll do the little presentation.
I can already tell
it's very soft.
I know it's lava hot,
but if you like apple pie,
this is a great substitute.
Thank you, Teranga.
What do you do when you're hungry?
Oh my God.
I'm going to take it out
and I'm going to top it
with a little bit of this coconut cream.
Completely unexpected,
but excellent.
While I take that out,
I want to talk to you guys about the cook-along.
So Teranga, if you're interested,
this is only month two
of Maggie the Substitute Teacher.
It just started with me
cooking the food that I eat
and then I would post the finished product
on Instagram or Facebook
and people would say,
how did you make that?
And then, you know,
because people didn't believe,
I started doing the before and after.
So I would post the ingredients
and then I would post the finished product.
And then people started asking me,
well, how did you make that?
And so I started giving instructions
and narrating what I was doing
with the still pictures.
And then I just decided,
you know what,
I'm going to bring you guys in the kitchen
when I'm here.
Look at this.
For our egg and apple fast,
I'm going to carefully
put them into my little ramekin
with a little whipped cream,
take a picture, and then eat.
All right, so while I'm doing this
and then I'll show you guys the cook-along.
If you want to cook with me,
and I've done it twice,
it's gone great.
The first time Lisa and I,
we did crab cakes.
We did it on my Instagram
and on my Facebook
and on my YouTube channel.
Please make sure you're subscribed
to be on YouTube.
Thank you all.
I now have a community tab
and I'm traveling soon
and I will be taking you with me
to show you where I'm going
and what I'm eating.
But if you're interested in cooking with me,
the cook-along,
you can participate in one of three ways.
The first way is just what you're doing now.
This is what I'm doing.
I'm using two spoons with the apples, guys,
because it's really hot.
That's option one.
Sit back, relax, and watch.
Option two,
I'll post the recipe.
You can get your ingredients
and you can cook offline
and you can use the video
kind of as a guide
if it helps you to do the steps
and then pause them.
And then when you make the finished product,
inbox me or tag me.
If you want to cook in real time,
I can share the screen with you
and I can bring you on either Instagram
or bring you on Facebook,
Twitter, whatever this is,
YouTube, y'all.
I'm new at this.
My apples.
Oh my God.
Coconut cream.
I'm taking a picture and I'm eating.
Here I come, y'all.
I'll show you.
I put too much whipped cream on it
but it's starting to peek out a little bit.
You know what would be pretty?
If I dusted it with a little nutmeg.
So I can give you the link.
We can just meet before
just to make sure all the technology is working.
And then we can go through step by step.
So these are our apples.
Baked apples.
Taking pictures.
This will go up on my page
in my community tab.
You can eat.
So yeah, if anybody wants to do a cook along with me,
please let me know.
And drool, right?
I'm starting with dessert.
Dairy free.
Sugar free.
Truvia.
Gluten free.
Why did I start with that?
Now I want to eat the whole thing.
And I will.
But I'll eat my eggs.
So you can see
the French omelet.
It's still
warm and you see rolling it up on itself.
So good.
So creamy.
Still warm.
Fluffy.
Gives you the cheese egg experience without cheese.
Because today I'm doing the egg fast.
And I got it nice and all yellow.
No brown spots.
Not bad, Maggie.
It is so excellent.
Teranga says wow.
So yeah, it's really yummy.
It's really, really yummy.
Just eggs, butter, and salt.
Set on the outside.
Creamy on the inside.
I get my inspiration from
everywhere.
You know, because I work from home.
Thankfully, I keep the TV on.
The cooking shows on mute.
I used to keep it on the news, but that was too depressing.
So I'll have Food Network on.
I'll have any of the cooking shows on.
And I would see these beautiful meals that they would be making.
And I would say, oh man, that looks amazing.
But I can't have that.
And I can't have that.
Because I have my list of foods that I have to avoid
for my sensitivity test.
And then I started thinking,
well, I can have this.
I can have that.
So I started substituting ingredients that I used to love
for the ones that love me back.
And that's where the whole
Maggie the Substitute Teacher came from.
Y'all.
Excellent.
Eggs are a great source of protein.
I'm eating this whole thing.
This is my last meal.
It is exquisite.
If I put this in front of you, you would eat it.
Because I want those apples.
Give it a try.
Any questions?
I don't want to be just greedy and eating here,
but I'm going to eat my baked apple
with a coconut cream.
Even by itself, excellent.
Oh my God.
You can't tell me this isn't.
I don't even miss the crust.
So good.
All right.
I don't want to be greedy.
I think I'm going to go ahead and wrap it up.
The sweetener, the butter,
the warm spices.
It's excellent.
So I wanted to talk to you guys
about the egg reset.
Fingers crossed.
It does the trick.
I'm going to finish this coffee,
tea, water,
maybe have some apple cider vinegar.
And hopefully,
it does the trick.
Tomorrow we'll be back on regular food.
I eat every day.
So I give you a post every day.
We'll see what time breakfast is.
I have to look at my schedule,
but I'll plan it so you guys can know
to find me here.
But for now, stay tuned for the cook-alongs.
Yeah, Teranga, take a look.
If you go back and you see the one
that has the crab cake, that was the cook-along
and one that had the squash lasagna.
If anybody's interested in the cook-along,
just inbox me and we'll set up
a date and time.
You pick the recipe
and you make the full-flavor version
and I'll make the substitute version.
All right, you guys.
Good night, Instagram.
And goodbye, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
If I can get that.
