It would just take a lot of time going over my ingredients and doing the calculations. This blog is already an enormous time sink ;)<br /><br />With my own meals I try to keep things low calorie and low glycemic index. This is how I balance out testing all the sweets as I bake. Occasionally some of these meals make it onto the blog and they are usually tagged as 'healthy'.Ms. Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960224421093634330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-37883824953294523842010-01-12T08:02:29.912-08:002010-01-12T08:02:29.912-08:00It has been snowing for 14 days straight here in P...It has been snowing for 14 days straight here in Pittsburgh, PA...so I am doing a lot of blog reading and cooking! I am so glad I found your blog thru Sunday Hotpants...wonderful recipes. Do you ever post calorie/carb counts in your blog? With the sweets, I guess if you have to ask you really shouldn't eat it..thanks for sharing all your wonderful photos and recipes!Nancycm10https://www.blogger.com/profile/06867000537812973167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-13527940734764191702010-01-07T09:04:41.978-08:002010-01-07T09:04:41.978-08:00i'm in love!!i'm in love!!Mssterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039250199062775345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-51443465417234265222010-01-03T23:06:05.087-08:002010-01-03T23:06:05.087-08:00I have the cheese puffs going in the over right no...I have the cheese puffs going in the over right now and they smell delicious!

So, where does it all go? Well...<br /><br />With cookies, I almost never make a full batch. Unless I am cooking for my husband's laboratory. I usually make only a dozen cookies (or less) at a time. My dough is made in advance and then portioned into small flat bricks, wrapped tightly and frozen. When I need to make cookies for myself or this blog, I just pull out a a packet of dough, let defrost on my counter for about 20 minutes and then I start baking. <br /><br />About 90% of the fudge I made last week is cut into one pound chunks, tightly wrapped and frozen. It freezes well so I can just pull it out to defrost as I need it. <br /><br />Also, I'm lucky that my husband is one of those people who can just eat and eat and eat and never gain a pound. He is my human food disposal man-machine. He gobbles up all the sweets, cakes and pastries before they tempt me. I also have a teen aged brother in college who is more than happy to eat anything I give him. So things rarely go to waste around here. <br /><br />As for storing the marshmallows, I keep them in an air tight container. Mine are still just as soft and fluffy as they were a week ago (I credit the rice flour for part of their longevity). I would imagine that they will keep for roughly 2 weeks like that. Perhaps longer, though they usually don't last much longer than that around here.Ms. Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960224421093634330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-83534636893427986622009-12-13T10:42:29.060-08:002009-12-13T10:42:29.060-08:00I have a question...

I can't imagine that you eat them all, you and your family, so where does it all go?<br />I just started reading your blog so you might have mentioned it before I just don't know where to look.<br />Do they store well? How do you store them, for instance, your marshmallows (that I'm going to try to make this week), how should I store them and for how long?<br />Also, a completely wonderful blog that is so inspirational. Thank you! And thank you for all the great tips like how to use and apply icing! Educational!!Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590293352592555475noreply@blogger.com
