We are attempting to really fine tune our diet to be as healthy as possible while still being tasty. Hopefully you will see that reflected here with use of whole grains and lean proteins among other changes. I still want to bake from time to time, but maybe only for parties or something where other people eat most of the sugary stuff.
Restaurants, however, are free zones with no restrictions, which brings me to my next update – Las Vegas week is next week, so keep an eye out for a big post when we get back!
I’m excited for you! You don’t have to totally give up baking. I would check out Chocolate Covered Katie or The Happy Herbivore for some very reasonable dessert recipes. Of course they’re still sweet, but they’re really scaled back from the “traditional” versions of the same things. I love the Happy Herbivore pumpkin bread (I add about 1 tsp of salt) and the Chocolate Covered Katie blonde brownie bars. Both have been hits when I have brought them to parties, etc.
Sweet! (pun intended) Thanks for the tip!
