Not at all! I am watching the calories, too!

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.

And if you look here

I did a basic rundown of fat and calories per slice of Gump bread..

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!

Doesn't it just kill ya that men can lose weight so fast!! and it takes real effort on our part - what gives

Well, I'm on my old smaller portions diet too. Seven years ago I lost 60 pounds and 15 have creep-ed their way back so need to get it off. The smaller portion thing is about the only thing that really works for me since I LOVE food! If I say in my mind that I can't have something then I want all the more - so I have it but just a bit and then my craving goes away. My only saving grace is I'm not a sweet eater. Although I must admit reading about all the goodies here is tempting.

Holy Weight Loss, Batman! 60 lbs?!

You're my hero!

Fortunately I don't crave sweets much either...usually just a piece or two of sugar free candy, or even a yogurt w/fruit and I'm OK. However, I DO require a bite or two of chocolate every 2-3 weeks.

And yep, when I want it, I have to have that little bit...otherwise it's a FAST decline to indulgence-land...LOL. I crave salty things more than sweets.

My candied orange peel turned out fabulous. My grandmother would be proud.

I bagged it and set in the refrig...no time to bake the Orange Bread until tomorrow. I have sourdough that needs baked today.

OK...off to the kitchen.

ETA: Well, that 11 lbs was alot, but was about 5% of DH's original weight. For comparision, my 5% weight was only 7 lbs and I'm more than twice that loss now...so, I'm OK with it. He feels so good about it...really makes my day to see him happy and continuing to try so hard. He's determined to lose another 25 lbs. Where IS that little love smiley when you need it???

...oh, there it is!

This doesn't really count as baking. However the past two days I've made classic Rice Crispy treats and last night I made a variation. I put about 1/3 cup of peanut butter in the marshmallows as they melted, because this made more marshmallow stuff than the recipe usualy calls for I added another cup and half of ceral to it. Turned out perfect with a nice peanut butter flavor and just the right amount of sweetness.

Your peanut butter rice crispy treats sound really good...

 

[Patchesnposies]

Forgot to post that yesterday, along with canning 21 quarts of pinto beans, I made a triple batch of Honey Almond Granola!

The kids have decided they don't want me to buy anymore packaged cereal.....we'll see how they feel when they have eaten this for a week! LOL

I need to find another cereal recipe to try so they don't get bored.

Anyone have any favorites to share?
