After a bought of insomnia last night I started reading reading Marcia Adams New Recipes From Quilt Country. It was one of my most favorite cookbooks when I married my husband 11 years ago.
Not surprisingly after which, I had a craving for Amish cuisine. Not thinking I made a shoofly pie without first figuring out the calories. How much could it be, I reasoned? 250 calories. Nope, it was almost 400.
Luckily, I have 400 calories to spend but still I should have put more thought into it. 400 calories is more of a Sunday treat than a weekday thing.
So, what can I do next time? FIND OUT HOW MANY CALORIES IT IS BEFORE I MAKE IT! Plan on a smaller serving size. Make a lighter version of the recipe. Fiddle with the serving sizes.
I'll let you know tomorrow if it's worth all 400 calories.
