a self-induced sugar coma starts the year off right.

I love good food. Over the holidays I indulged myself with the most delicious assortment of delectables you can imagine. While every bite seemed like the best idea at the time, I now find myself in a mild state of caloric depression. Isn't this the nature of the foodie beast? Why does it seem almost impossible not eat that second piece of made from scratch coconut cream pie? Will my life be positively changed from it's creamy goodness? A true battle between mind and stomach. This time, stomach prevailed. As I finished the [second] last bite of the most delicious pie you've ever had, the regret immediately set in. While it was tasty, unfortunately this coconut cream pie didn't change my life for the good, but rather left me in a sugar coma wondering why I ever thought to eat that second helping in the first place. It was during my sugar overdose (a true out of body experience) that the inspiration for this blog came to me. Through the next year it is my goal to modify highly delicious, highly caloric recipes into something more calorie friendly. Each recipe will include ingredients, cooking directions, serving sizes, nutritional information AND weight watcher point values. So, here's to a new year full of taste, low on regret.
