My Sweet Tooth…(or why I need to lose 5 lbs)

I LOVE sweets.  And apparently, they love me.  A lot.  So much so, that they’ve gone straight to my hips.  But that doesn’t stop me from eating them.

I only found my love of cooking and baking a few years ago.  I’m still new to it all, and complicated recipes/methods, but that doesn’t stop me from reading and collecting recipes, cookbooks, food shows, food blogs, etc.  Lately, I’ve been reading the blogs.  I haven’t renewed my Cooking Light subscription in a while.  I haven’t watched Food TV in a while, given all the other crap I watch on TV (which I’m not giving up!   ) 

Here’s the thing…I’m mostly drawn to recipes that are desserts!!!  Hel-lo sweet tooth!  Here’s how bad it is…I saw Smitten Kitchen’s hot fudge sauce recipe, and read through the comments.  A few comments mentioned David Lebovitz’s chocolate sauce which I just had to try.  It was easy to make, but I think I need to tweak my method a little.  I digress…So I made this sauce, while the husband was out of town (since I’m the real chocoholic in the family), and ate it.  Out of the bowl.  No ice cream.  No milk for chocolate milk.  No swanky dessert to drizzle it over.  Just the chocolate sauce.  Straight from the container in the fridge.  For a few days.  Until it was almost gone and I just had to throw it out – sniff sniff – because I couldn’t stop eating it.  Here’s the other thing…the husband is just now finding out about this as he reads this entry!  (Hi honey )

So where does that leave me?  Wanting to try Family Friendly Food’s Chocolate Babka Cake (I may forgo the Halva…or do half w/just Halva for my father-in-law, half with Nutella for anyone else)…Most of Pinch my Salt’s NaBloPoMo, which I recall being lots of desserts (which I haven’t written down)…and a few others that are just swimming in my head.

Which also leave me…posting all the treadmill workouts to burn off all the desserts!    Happy eating!
