I baked muffins today. Two new recipes. I am really especially excited to try the Pumpkin Oat Muffins. They feel so moist. I went to the library yesterday and looked for recipe books. I found 4: Baking without Fat by George Mateljan (he has the Worlds Healthiest Foods website of which I have a link t0
on the right side of this page), Recipes from the Old Mill - Baking with Whole Grains by Sarah E. Myers and Mary Beth Lind, Eating for Life by Bill Phillips, and The Raw Food Gourmet by Gabrielle Chavez. I am not going to go raw. I like cooked foods, but I believe the more raw food we can put in our diet the better off we are, so I got it to try some new and different recipes. The muffin recipes I tried today are: Bran Muffins from - Recipes from the Old Mill, and Pumpkin Oat Muffins from - Baking without Fat, and it really has no fat in the recipe. I also tried my first dessert in 41 days. Oatmeal "Smacks". This recipe came from "The New 8 week cholesterol cure". I thought it tur
ned out very nice, but Dennis didn't care for it much and only ate 1/2 of his piece. It reminds me of a granola bar with meringue on top. Still it was pretty good. I wanted to make pumpkin cookies, but after looking through all of my recipe books at home and from the library I couldn't find one. I am going to try a new recipe each day for the next couple of weeks and weed out the not so good ones from the keepers. I also plan on making a new file for healthy recipes. I had to notch my belt up another notch today. I was tired of my pants sliding down. It is a great feeling. I still won't get on the scale until November 1.
Dennis came home from work today feeling sluggish and with a headache. I told him he should expect that while he is going through Pepsi withdrawals. Today is day 2 of no Pepsi for him. He has tried to quit several times in the past few years, but has never succeeded. He also has gone from swimming 3-5 days a week and working hard at his job to 6 -10 hour work days sitting in a car all day long. That alone will make a person sluggish. I'm worried about him: sitting all day, no exercise and eating lots of junk, plus still drinking soda, just trying to cut out the caffeine. I think we have officially traded places. 41 days ago I felt just like that.
