Sweet Things: Indulgence

Indulgence is my middle name, I love all things sweet, creamy and rich with flavor.  I fantasize about full flavor calorie free dark chocolate and believe that each bite should be savored.  So, maybe this sounds a little odd?  To sit and talk about food in a manner that a person might describe a lover.

I must explain.  I come from a family of eaters, we eat our feelings into bliss.  Are you happy?  Lets eat some Ben and Jerry’s! Are you sad?  Ben and Jerry’s! Family Celebration, how about fried chicken and homemade mac-n-cheese? I love food and I love to eat.  I can’t begin to tell you how many diets I have tried, some have worked and some have seen me to failure.  Recently, I decided that I did not need to change my diet but my life and how I viewed food.

I can’t do baked chicken, brown rice and steamed veggies each night of the week, talk about BEIGE!  I decided I was not going to deprive myself of the things I love, period.  Instead I purchased a cookbook called “Cook Yourself Thin” which gives “dieters” a new perspective and skill set to making the foods they love but with healthier options.  So far, I am enjoying the book and learning to cook some very flavorful dishes without all calories!
