Well, I’ve been at it again. I was trying to clean house, and I ran across a cookbook I had gotten at the thrift store. See, that's what happens when you're cleaning house instead of quilting like you should be! It was a book with a new dessert recipe for every day of the year ( A Year of Diet Desserts.) Oh saints preserve us. But it actually had very low calorie recipes in it. It was written in 1987, so has some of the typical cooking that seemed to be popular in that era. The recipes were very low fat, and had a minimal amount of sweeteners. Honey was the sweetener of choice in most of the recipes. Most of the recipes were under 200 calories, well within the range I allow for treats.
So that got me in the baking mood. I tried a few of those recipes, and also developed a couple of new ones myself--a roasted butternut squash pudding and apple blueberry baked oatmeal. And I made a made a single-serving lasagna that was killer!
It is actually possible to enjoy baking and still lose weight. You just have to be a little creative. To read more about my adventures in (healthy) baking and see the recipes, check out my blog, Debby Weighs In.
