Took a day off from exercise classes, did shopping and baking instead. Put on a Latin pop music station & boogied my way around cleaning house & mixing up and baking three kinds of cookies; Praline Charlottes, Twin Chocolate Delights, and Orange Cranberry Coconut Oatmeal.
All was well, ate healthy, didn't eat cookies. Until my partner got home and taste-tested for me; my resolve broke down. The orange cranberry are amazing, the others pretty good. Had to guess at what to record since I didn't enter the recipes in my cookbook.
I'm taking a box of cookies to my neurologist when I see him tomorrow. Thinking about taking some to my Zumba instructor ; she has kids if she doesn't care to eat then herself. I need to frost the praline ones, & don't know if I can get it done before class, its cooked frosting.
I took some of my last batch of cookies to my Monday instructor who wanted to eat them during class, lol. She's pregnant & looked hungry. My partner took the last of the peppermint bark cookies to the office; hope they enjoyed them.
I know cookie baking is a weird hobby for someone who wants to be healthy and fit; I just enjoy the whole process, from finding or creating good recipes to seeing the enjoyment people get out of my creations. I used to make chocolates, but gave away all my molds a few years back; too labor-intensive. One of my neighbors still talks about the chocolate house I made for her...
I was happy to see the weight dropping off me again; getting close to my lowest again. I think the gain was mostly water; I've been peeing like crazy! :o) i'm feeling trim and fit. I'm noticing muscles and bones that were covered in padding before; all the Zumba and Silver Sneakers Strength and everything is really paying off. Hope those cookies don't bring any padding back!.
My neighbor came over to borrow some food coloring; she's baking, too she's taking eclairs to a newrby senior center, so I offered to send some cookies along, too. My neighbors in my apartment building will be happy to get some, too. Gave some to a bell-ringer the other day to eat on her break; she was delighted. I'm a cookie elf!
