A few months ago I was making cookies for one of the children to take to a function. They were just chocolate chip cookies, but they were smelling really, really good as they were baking in the oven. And when I pulled them out they smelled even better.

When I was a big girl, wearing upwards of a size 26/28, I was always concerned about where my next meal would come from. Would we go out to eat? Would I secretly swing through a drive thru window? Would I cook? If it were the latter, then I began planning my meals early in [...] Okay, so I borrowed the title of this post from one of my favorite shows, “What Not To Wear.” I’ve always wanted to be on that show – and I kept asking my family to nominate me but they refused!! Anyway, I was watching that show the other night and thought about the fact that [...] Here’s the situation that happened at my house a few months ago. We had a group over for lunch, where different people were bringing different parts of the meal. I made a vegetarian chili, and one lady said she would bring bread. “Great,” I said. Well, I don’t think I would have said that had [...] As I’ve been reading blogs over the past months I see that a lot of you are *real* cooks. It got me thinking and reflecting on the ability to cook. And not only the ability to cook but the desire to cook. In my morbidly obese days, food courts in the mall were heaven. Cookies bigger than my head, Cinnabon rolls warm and gooey, Chinese food fried and greasy, and humongous slices of pizza. Those food offerings went away along with the 158 pounds I lost. I didn’t want to spend my food allotment of calories on [...] I, like some of you, really like to cook a lot. My husband often jokes that I won his heart with my chocolate chip cookies. I’ve written before how I baked and ate my way all the way up to 305 pounds. In that post I shared how I realized that I could show my [...] This afternoon we hosted 20 people at our house. Half were women and half were teenagers. Part of the festivities was a cookie swap. This is what ONE table looked like. There were so many cookies we had to set up a second table. Every person brought three dozen cookies to share with the other [...] First let me say that I love Pampered Chef products but do not sell them (anymore). That’s right, I used to be a consultant with Pampered Chef. And it wasn’t after I lost my 150 pounds, but rather right smack in the middle of my struggle with extreme obesity. Well, it’s here! Thanksgiving week has arrived and believe me I know it. I made the mistake of going to Sam’s Club on Saturday afternoon with five of the kids. I knew it would be busy but I had no idea how busy. Yikes! At one point I got stuck in the bread area for [...] |
