In defense of food

I’ve posted before about how I love food and I love that it’s a family and cultural bond. I bake a lot, but I don’t eat a lot of what I bake, and that sucks. If you think it sucks too, there are things you can do!

In my cupcakes, when it calls for eggs, I split it 50/50. Half the amount of real eggs, half egg beaters/egg whites. Half the sugar with stevia or use fruit which drastically diminishes the amount of sugar needed. Applesauce instead of oil. Fat free buttermilk. And make minis! I can’t remember I ate an entire cupcake without feeling like my bloodstream had turned to pure sugar.

Don’t be scared to occasionally eat an entire full fat cupcake, but if you constantly have baking going on in your house or your family refuses to eat your sugary, high calorie treats, make some changes!
