I have a slight obsession with baking. When I say baking, I mean I LOVE baking cupcakes, gooey butter cakes brownies, and and desserts that cannot be good for you. I have a serious sweet tooth and a love of good food. In the past few months I have become a stay-at-home Mom, and Fall has come (which also brings an abundance of pumpkin desserts!). My husband doesn't so much have a sweet tooth, but loves queso, wings, chips...man food. My toddler has always and still will eat just about anything.
Another interest I have is keeping my family healthy (especially my kids--because I control what they eat. ha!) I hate the idea of processed foods, unneeded horomones, and added sugar filling my baby's tummy. Since he started solids I have made his food, and refuse to give him fast food and processed foods. I will admit I even struggle to give him sweets, and have had to become a little less strict. My husband and I realize that we should set better examples; and that soon the toddler will wonder why Mom and Dad can have fast foods sometimes and coke, but he isn't allowed.
So, in the best interest of our family, my new hobby is to find healthy but great tasting foods that all of us will eat. Again, the toddler will eat anything, so it's really up to my husband's and my standards. We are both wanting to lose weight (two babies in a 16 months can really do in a body). My goal is to find not just "ok" and "good" items, but to find DELICIOUS whole foods that will be requested over and over.
I still love baking, and will continue to try new sweets and desserts. Don't worry, I'll post those too. I have to be realistic. I need dessert sometimes, or I will dessert binge. If ever you have a suggestion, let me know.
