HAVE YOU A REPUTATION FOR BEING A GOOD BAKER ?
When friends are having parties we often want to bring something and when we ask what we can bring, they mention that they love our home made pastries. Take my advice and do not bake any cookies or brownies...make a pie or a cake. Why?
I remember eating half a tray of brownies as I was cutting them to put on a platter more than once before my Diet Masters days . If you make a cake or a pie it would be embarrassing to walk into the party with a slice missing.
SOME MORE TRUE CONFESSIONS
Our next door neighbor brought over some delightful cookies when the children were young and they were called Snickerdoodles, if I remember correctly. I asked for the recipe and could not wait to make a batch. This was in the days of 'before Pam' and most of them broke as I was taking them off the tray and I ate 21 broken cookies as I stood there. They were not small cookies (for shame).
In earlier posts I mentioned how I ate about 3 half gallons of ice cream a week; and twice in my lifetime I ate a half gallon at one sitting.
I still like a little something sweet from time to time but never enjoy eating vast amounts of any type of food now.
I was standing in line at CVS buying detergents today and noticed a display of bags of chocolate chip cookies. I was reading the stats when the young lady in front of me must have thought I was interested in the price and told me that they were on sale for $2. I told her that I was just checking the calories and they were 140 calories for 4 and 35 calories each. I must admit that I "don't get a kick from champagne" as the song goes, but I do enjoy counting calories.
WOW: Every day when we wake up our bodies are like a clean slate. We have a fresh chance to eat the right foods in the right amounts.
WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN THAT YOU EAT, AND MAKE A FIRM RESOLVE TO STICK TO YOUR DIET.
