The problem with being virtuous and not buying cookies or ice cream while grocery shopping means that there’s never anything sweet in the house to satisfy the sudden violent craving that hits now and again.
Which makes me cranky while fighting said craving.
And sure, I could bake cookies, but I did that the other night. I’m snacky now, not an hour from now.
Next time you bake, stash a few in the freezer.
In fact, I just fill a small sandwich baggie and throw it waaaaaaay in the back. (I do it with anything sweet that comes in the house – including chocolate, cake, etc.)
It allows me to eat less of the sweet initially and then when we’re “dying for something sweet”, there’s always a little somethin-somethin if you go “freezer-diving”.
I make small batches of cookies to begin with, to avoid overdosing, but maybe I’ll make larger batches and freeze them. Hmm. An excellent idea. Thanks, Rosy!
