Worried

I have gained the reputation among my peers here in Hobbs as a good baker. I guess I have kind of brougth it upon myself. I mean, it is a good compliment, and every time I have baked something I have created a healthier version of the recipe, it just comes with the consequence of baking more than I should. You see, everytime I bake, some of the batter goes in my tummy (you have to taste it to make sure its right, right?), and some cookies go in my tummy (that's usually what I bake), and then where ever I take them to, more cookies go in my tummy (because I trust that they are more healthy than what others have made, or I just know what is in them). I always offer to bake, because I am lactose intolerant, and because I will make healthier treat (if there is such a thing). Anyhow, I have been baking a lot lately. Our friends are having us over and we got asked to bring something sweet again. So, I am going to make Almond Honey-Butter cookies. It calls for whole wheat flour (if it didn't I would substitute half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat), and in place of the 1/3 c oil I am going to do applesauce instead, and in place of butter (can't have it), I am going to do the Smart Balance butter (at 50 cal a tbs). Before the substitutions they were 90 cals a cookie, but now they will be 71 a cookie. So they are less fat and less calories. Score!

I will let you know on Monday how they turned out. Cross your fingers!

Then, tomorrow we are celebrate little girl's b-day with the family, so I got to bake a cake for that. If any of you have a healthy yummy cake recipe, let me know. I am in the search for one. I found a few, but I don't know if I like them. We shall see!

After this weekend, I am going to take a few weeks break from baking. I have 7 more pounds to go, so I need to be better for the next little while. Can't wait till I am done losing weight!
