I don't deprive myself of good home cooking,. I just limit my portions.

I just took half the banana bread and one loaf of Gump bread over to my neighbor's where my husband's band is playing.
Leaving a couple slices for each of us here.

I did a basic rundown of fat and calories per slice of Gump bread..
 
I'm baking a double batch of Amish Friendship bread...1 regular cinnamon and 1 chocolate/ chocolate chip/ coconut.
Last night I made Gump bread using 1/2 whole wheat, they made excellent sub rolls. Others at work contributed with ham, cheese and chips!

Me too! I'm on weight watchers. I've lost 15 lbs in the Fall and took the holidays off...now back with 12 lbs yet to go. I too go with smaller portions of real homecooked food, and I haven't baked any desserts in awhile. DH decided to count ww points to after New Years. He's lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks!
 
More cookies for the kids (I made the snowflakes and the pistachio caramels earlier just had to decorate the cookies and dip more caramels). Today I made oatmeal raisin cookies, cocoa brownie cookies with peanut butter chips (drizzled w melted white and milk chocolate), Rolled orange cookies (doves) from dough I had leftover in the freezer from xmas, merengue cookies w sprinkles and last but not least creme brulee (not in picture since I can't burn the sugar topping on it 'til shortly before serving). Once I recooperate from this round of baking I want to try Ozark hen's Italian stuffed loaf. Just for me and DH this time, no sharing with grown kids who should learn to cook for themselves already!

I'm making candied orange peel this morning. Eventually it'll endup in my grandmother's Orange Bread recipe (quick bread). The candied peel keeps well refrigerated or frozen, so it could be awhile beofre I bake the bread....LOL, time will tell.
