i will be the first to admit when my baking or cooking falls short...the low fat lemon bars? Tasted like rubber...the crust was actually not bad but it was hard to determine with the slightly lemon glue that was holding on fast. We tried one with tea last night and then I tried it with my coffee this morning but really it's like eating a piece of gluey rubber! I will try another recipe for lemon squares soon.
I think that if you make a normal recipe (that isn't modified) but you eat just one small/regular portion as opposed to eating a lot more of the low fat/cal/sugar kind you come out ahead. I think we justify eating larger portions of something supposedly healthy for us rather than just showing some restraint and eating one serving of something really delicious that may have real butter or sugar in it...in doing so I think we are missing out on the joy of eating! BTW I'm guilty of this but I am working on it!
So today I'm going to ask myself a question...if anybody reads this they can ask it of themselves.
What are you really hungry for? Am I using food to fill in some of the spots that I don't want to deal with sadness, confusion and uselessness OR am I using food to nourish my body, enjoy in moderation and show a little love to others with?
