Default molasses and chocolate and butter, Oh My!
I had to put together a care package today for my daughter. She is a senior at university, and as she told me, she is "drowning in academia". Apparently this year is a lot of work, plus she works 30 hours a week. So I figured she needed a treat. I made her chocolate chip cookies, molasses cookies, and Russian tea cakes. These are her favorite cookies. I just feel the need to brag that I popped 1/2 of a molasses cookie into my mouth, passed the other half onto my son then tossed half of the cookies in a tin for her, and the rest into a jar for my husband and sons. I can smell them, and can hear them calling out to me, but cookies are just plain BAD. I mean..a treat is nice, but since I was making these as a special treat for her, I didn't even attempt to adjust the recipes. At 120 calories per cookie, this is a treat that could go south REALLY fast.

I can guarantee that 7 months ago, I would not have been able to do that. And honestly, I'm not really struggling with it.

Big, big, big accomplishment. You are loads better than me. Baked home goods are my #1 enemy. You should feel very proud of yourself. What wonderful habits you have developed.

Good for you!! I know exactly how you feel. Baked goods are my weakness too. We are in control, not the food!

I'm impressed you could taste and THEN resist! I can't take that first taste!

I made treats that looked like baseballs for my family last night while we watched the Reds game. (Go Reds!) I ate 1/3 of one of the treats planning to stop with that. It wasn't even very good, but the frosting was amazing. So of course I had to have more which turned on the hunger receptors! I fought cravings the rest of the darn evening!

Talk about willpower!

I have a total sweet tooth. No way in the world would I have been able to do that. I love to bake and I just don't do it much anymore for that very reason. I am so looking forward to the holidays when I can bake to my hearts content and pass all the goodies on to others.

Congratulations!

Nice will power! Whenever we bake goodies I always send them with hubby to his job to share with his coworkers because I know I WILL eat them eventually...it may take a few days but if they're around I will binge!
