It was expected for today
An afternoon spent in the kitchen
I was occupied and busy baking
Creating mouthwatering cake to present
The ambiance was right, was the result as expected?
The answer was evident in the obliterated remains
~*~
This was my effort at making a whole-wheat bread. It’s no mouthwatering cake, but more practical for people who are watching calories.

lol but has this rigid calorie counting meant loss of weight? I believe that weight is often more an emotional thing … sure diet and exercise have some impact but for many I believe it’s emotionally connected!

It’s emotional for me in the sense that I love carbs. But this healthy eating has helped me lose 50 pounds till date.

no I am so pleased you’ve made such progress …. diet and exercise have never changed my weight! Gained 16 kilos with the cancer meds and never able to lose it … in fact I gain 2 kilos when I exercise regularly. Guess muscle weighs more than fat.

That cake would go so well with a cup of tea and a chat with a good friend or even a few pages of a good book.
But your whole wheat bread with some sugar free marmalade is a healthier option. It looks so professional.

I only tried baking whole wheat bread once – it came out flat as a pancake (well, pretty flat anyway – id not rise at all!).

Maybe the year was at fault. This one was made with an egg, milk and whole wheat flour. And was done in an hour.

My only attempt was long after I got married – hubby preferred white bread and still does, so I never tried again.
