I love to bake, i like to make very hight fat decadent things into guilt-less pleasures. Everything I make will have the calories cut in half with all the flavour and texture we all love. I started baking this way after i lost about 20 Ibs. It was hard to try and give up baking or even slow down beacuse of my new healthy diet. But it was easy once i learned how to subtitute fat and what ingredients do what in a recipe.
My favorite things to cook
Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Rice Soup, Jerk Chicken Salad, Moussaka, Spanakopita, Apple Crisp, Banana Bread, And Muffins.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making plenty of variations to recipes, adding personal flair, making the recipe our own, everyone in my family who bakes uses the recipe as simply an idea, then the creativity flows.
My cooking triumphs
i created the best ooey, gooey, sweet, fudgey, chocolaty, brownies ever! for only 52 calories each, they were amazing and guilt free.
My cooking tragedies
when i first started baking i simply removed and ingredient from the recipe that i didnt want, instead of substititing,
