Eggplant makes me ralph

So I woke up this morning and was absolutely sick to my stomach.  Ralphing was involved.   

While laying on couch trying to fall back asleep, it dawned on me that my body was rejecting the eggplant I ate yesterday!!!  Even typing the word makes me queasy.  🙁  

For you purple veggie lovers out there, definitely give yesterday’s recipe a try.  For all you sane people out there, such as myself, try the recipe again using lasagna noodles.  

I don’t know about you, but when I’m feeling sick I crave processed carbohydrates.  Pizza, mac and cheese, PB&J… mmmmmm……  

So when I finally felt stable enough to try and eat something, I decided to make some healthified bisquick waffles.  I mixed up the following:  

  • 1/3 cup bisquick
  • 1/2 cup almond breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 egg white

I poured the batter onto my little waffle maker ($8 at Target, boo ya).  The waffles seemed to take longer to crisp up than normal unhealthified waffles.  I topped them off with 1/8 cup sugar free smucker’s syrup and some strawberries I had sliced up yesterday.  

waffle love

 

It was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s.  And it seems to be agreeing with my belly, so I’m heading into work shortly.  Not sure what to do about lunch.  Seriously contemplating a stop at Wendy’s…..  Hopefully my brain wins this war over my belly!  

Stats on the waffles:  216 calories, 35g carbs, 6g fat, 7g protein, 2g fiber

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google

    • Hahaha... I agree. Just saying "ralph" puts a smile on my face, even when I really feel like ralphing... :)

  • I notice that too about healthier waffles. Even if it's a multigrain toaster waffle, I have to toast it twice as long. I hope you feel better, at least you had an excuse to eat tasty carbs!
