Then the Guilt took over...
Okay, today I got productive and made like a million Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, click here and scroll down for the recipe. I got all the ingredients from Walmart and got them all out and ready while Recker took a nap this morning. When I pulled out the oil, it smelled rancid..... wow that was disgusting. I have not baked anything for so long. The oil smelled awful, and I had to run to Walmart again and get cooking oil. It's a little frustrating to have everything you need but one ingredient. I told Eric (who was laying with Recker... so cute) that I needed to go get oil. Then he said to me, "are you going to eat any of these cookies?" of course, I said, "no," he quickly replied, "Then why bother to bake them?" I thought about that question while I was running through Walmart. I think I want to bake something for my family; just because I am not eating sugar and flour does not mean they need to go without it. RIGHT? Besides, I love to bake, and I feel like it's that time of year; I missed out on it last year. They smelled so good baking in the oven, I could not resist ..... I did eat one, and it tasted so good to me. Then the guilt took over, and I was done. I have this love/hate relationship with the NO SUGAR NO FLOUR thing. I love that my body feels clean and renewed; I hate that I love the delicious combinations you can create with sugar and flour; I am such a baked goods girl. Pastries, cookies, cakes, I love them all.
It wore me out making all those cookies, my body is not what it used to be, and I wonder if it ever will be again.
Oh yeah, and some people have asked about my recipes ..... when you open my blog, if you click on the button that says cookbook, it will take you to my recipes. I now have almost 1,000 recipes on there. I love that my girls can get a recipe whenever they need one; it's been fun.
