Wow. Tried a new recipe tonight - it was by far the best mug cake I have ever had. Not low-carb at all, haha, as I think mine came out to 37 carbs by the time I’d added everything (used agave instead of honey), including some mini chocolate chips on top. Again, if you subbed an alternative sweetener, it would be a much lower carb count. ETA: even with the higher carb count, I ate some salami and berries first, starting on the cake about 50 minutes after my Novolog pre-bolus, and I only went from 79 to 91 - I believe the heavy total fat content of it all really helped reduce the rise. > **[Let’s Celebrate](http://www.mthopechronicles.com/2013/01/lets-celebrate.html?m=1)** > > Four weeks of Paleo-ish , lots of Shredding ; 7 pounds lost, muscle gained.

😍 Yum! I haven’t seen that one before. Honestly, I end up altering recipes I find so much, I just get inspiration from Pinterest (for free!) instead of buying cookbooks. I do occasionally borrow some from the library or, if I find I’m interested in a large majority of recipes in a book, I’ll buy the kindle version. I’ll have to see where I can take a closer look at this one - thanks! ---

I only ever use the microwave - I’m too impatient for oven, plus I don’t want to heat up the house! ---

I’ve never made mug cakes in the microwave, but I did make plasma a few years ago (not the blood fluid kind of plasma, but the gas with free electrons and positive ions kind plasma). ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/e/e85831f7706954c76471772db0a45e8df93cf2d5.jpg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/b/b330a54727d5064fe78084b9753fdae2187a1da4.jpg) ---

A few years ago, my son proposed making the 4th state of matter for his science project. The teacher said “you can’t do that”. We weren’t sure if she meant “you don’t have permission” or “you are unable to do that”. So we proved that you really are able (even if you don’t have permission). ---

This is the most non-diabetic diabetes forum in all the land! Any thread is likely to be hijacked with talk that is completely unrelated to diabetes. Anyway, sorry @Pianoplayer7008, my fault! Tell us some more about Mug Cakes! ---

> [@Eric](#): > > Anyway, sorry @Pianoplayer7008, my fault! 😆 Actually, I love the crazy tangents these threads sometimes go off on; doesn’t bother me at all. Plus, I went for ice cream instead of a mug cake tonight, so I have nothing new to share. 😉 ---

Haha! Well, I am pretty excited at the moment with the results (from 90 before to 119@1hr). Usually I’m up in the 130-140s. I ate a half portion this time, though, with some dark chocolate melted with coconut oil over it (homemade magic shell!), and I ate some salami right before (trying that fat slowing/minimizing spike thing). Did I mention I guessed my bolus dose at dinner again tonight and stayed in the 90s for the 2 hrs after until dessert? 😀 It was a good night. ---
