Morning Mike~ checking in to see how other people get in all of their protein and I noticed your grilled cheese sandwich.  What exactly is a cloud, and where would you purchase such a thing?  Just curious!! Anjanette

Hi there, Anjanette (that is such a pretty name!)..... If you will take a look at my past posts on the various boards, you will see that I have posted the CLOUDS recipe a few times.  They are really easy to make and taste delicious!  High protein, and practically no carbs!  If you have trouble finding the post, let me know and I will try and send you the recipe directly! Have a wonderful day, Mike

Hi Mike~ Thank you for the compliment about my name.  should have been a forewarning that someone named after a cookie would have trouble with her weight!! (although the cookie is spelled quite differently!!) I have searched for your recipe to no avail.  I need as many "carb free" things in my world, so when you have a minute, I would love the recipe. Thanks!  have a great Tuesday!! Anjanette
