Cancel That Pity Party
OK, anyone who has been feeling remotely sorry for me because of all of the things I have given up, you can hereby stop. Today I spent hours in the kitchen making gooey delicious concoctions that make me feel sorry for anyone who hasn’t tried them!
I wanted to use my fairly free weekend to try out a bunch of recipes, and since Cameron encouraged me to eat what I really want for a while, I decided to include some treats that I had previously not even peeked at (she sent me some recipes a while back). I also found a blogger who discovered how to make “Babies,” which are treats that are basically homemade Larabars, in a bunch of delicious varieties, and since I recently fell in love with Larabars, I just had to try those, too.
First, I made Cameron’s “15-Minute Dark Chocolate Truffles,” which are actually pretty similar to the “Babies.” Then I made 5 different varieties of “Babies,” and then (after a break to get dinner into the oven) I made “No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Cookies.” Oh, I also made the 2 layers of yellow cake for my husband’s birthday on Monday…from a boxed mix, because that is his favorite. Sad, I know.
I’m going to post each of the recipes for the treats separately. I’m excited about how they all turned out, and considering they are nearly all sugar-free and are all wheat-free, I am feeling zero guilt and very confident my “skinny jeans” will still fit come Monday. How cool is that?
