It is hard to believe that foods I once loved and couldn't get enough of, I can now resist. The other morning, I slept in and Ben made cinnamon rolls. When I got up, there were three left. I didn't even think about having one. I knew it was better for me not to. I knew I wasn't missing out. Today at Ben's cousin's Annie's house, I brought a velvet chocolate layered cake that I bought from Tortas and Truffles from downtown Anoka. When the cake was served, Ben asked if I was at least going to have a bite and I said no. Again, I am sure it would have been very good, but I didn't need it.
Don't get me wrong...I love sweets! It just has become easier for me not to want them all of the time. I do want to find great gluten free dessert recipes for when I do want sweets. But now when I am at a gathering of some sort, I won't feel like I am missing out if I don't eat a dessert if it is not gluten free. It is a great feeling to have. Both my stomach and waistline are thanking me.
My sister-in-law Michele made me gluten free chocolate chip cookie dough. I made the cookies tonight and boy were they good! Thanks Michele! She is going to give me the recipe and then I will post it on my blog.
