So what do you have for dessert, after eating ...
A Lean Cuisine TV dinner? That has always been one of the weighty questions I have had to face as a bachelor. I have always felt that it is good to have something sweet after dinner, but alas, what to eat without feeling guilty? I have been moving towards low calorie puddings and Jello, but ... it just doesn't seem satisfying. So my question is whether it would be way over the top to have New York cheesecake just once a week with a low cal, TV dinner? Just curious. I want to live my life properly.

Jan 20 06 09:11 pm Link As long as it is only once a week, eat what you want! Don't gorge, but it is still important to live. Just try and keep the portion small, and if you are still worried about it, eat some lower calorie foods earlier in the day and/or throw in some exercise.

Jan 20 06 10:13 pm Link Port. 10-year Tawny. Jan 20 06 10:24 pm Link Lately, I've been making my own macaroons. Ingredients are sweetened coconut, sugar (I use Splenda), egg white, and maybe a little chocolate for garnish (I use sugar free semisweet -- expensive but makes a difference). If I could, I'd use unsweetened coconut & more Splenda. Results -- sweet, chewy, low fat (no fat in egg whites, a bit in the coconut), fiber, and satisfying & filling. Want the recipe? If I'm lazy, I eat a handful of almonds (bought raw, roasted at 350 degrees for ~15 minutes or until they start to be fragrant, then allowed to cool.

Try drizzling them with honey before roasting them if you want something sweet. I like strawberries with a little Cool Whip Lite. Or, you could have some angel food cake and a little fruit. Just don't try my rum cake or banana split cake if you are trying to watch your weight. My husband feels deprived, because since I've been trying to lose more weight, I haven't made him his favorite desserts in a while. I may have to make some for him, and just have him hide it so I don't get tempted! If all else fails, eat a banana...my kids seem to go through a bunch each week!

Jan 20 06 11:56 pm Link As far as I'm concerned, anytime is a good time for Cheesecake! To hell with rules! How about some of those yellow sponge cake dessert cups, filled with strawberries and some whipped cream? If all else fails, a big fat piece of Pumpkin Pie always satisfies. Jan 20 06 11:57 pm Link That reminds me -- I also bake apples, or more precisely, make Apple Brown Betty -- it's pretty simple to make. Of course, I ruin it with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream.

Jan 21 06 02:15 pm Link double fudge brownie ice cream  once a week having something yummy won't kill you. I've found that if you cut anything out of your diet that you really love you won't be able to stick with the diet. better to limit the portion size & frequency of things like dessert.Jan 21 06 02:42 pm Link Alan from Aavian Prod wrote: You can use a hand mixer too...but a blender is quicker and better!

I would have to buy a hand mixer anyways and then I would have to crank! Jan 21 06 05:29 pm Link Sometimes it's not what you eat but how much (or little) of it. Everything in moderation. You can even gain weight eating fruit, if in excess. For proper digestion try not to eat fruit after a meal, unless you want your tummy confused!  There are all sorts of "naughty substitutes". Like soy ice cream, or carob (chocolate substitute). Jan 21 06 05:38 pm Link |
Just compensate in other ways for taking in the extra calories (per norm, my mind has shot into the sewage and now I have to try and resurface. . .)
