Guest guest Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yesterday I was visiting with my daughter about certain foods I would enjoy baking once it cooled down (we're currently having triple digit temps here). In the past, baking something I liked meant that I was cheating on whatever diet I was doing. Baking is something I enjoy doing and I like sharing things I make with others. But it always felt as if I was somehow doing something wrong by baking for myself and my family, I often did it anyway, but felt like I was doing something I shouldn't. So yesterday as I was talking to her, I realized that now, with IE, I can bake. I can bake when I want, whatever I want, and enjoy sharing with anyone who is interested and it's ok. It's like the joy of an activity that I love, and am good at, has been given back to me. IE is so liberating. I love this group!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Ann this fellow baker fan is waving at you! I've loved to bake since I was 5 years old when I was given a working little stove for a present. Mom was wise enough to turn me loose in the kitchen and I've been a mad baker ever since. My baking has taken on a new twist - learning to make gluten free yummies. Thanks to Barb's post today it will be brownies. Oh how I love IE! ehugs, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Yesterday I was visiting with my daughter about certain foods I would enjoy baking once it cooled down (we're currently having triple digit temps here).

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi Ann Yeah isn't it great - no longer thinking you will have to give it all away or hide it from yourself - nice to be able to enjoy some if you feel like it. My toddlers love helping in the kitchen - but I need eyes in the back of my head or is likely to have added a cup of water to the mixture or ph will have inverted the not so empty bowl all over his lovely clean hair - not such a drama if it wasn't a meltdown every time the shampoo comes out! I love the freedom of IE - and it's not making me eat like crazy!
