Hump Day Treats
There’s a great tip in Michael Pollan’s Food Rules that says, “You can eat all the junk food you want, as long as you make it yourself.” Think about it: if you only ate French fries you made from scratch, you’d probably eat fries less often! (And how does one even try to make homemade Doritos?!)
This is why I post a weekly Hump Day Treat. I absolutely believe you should treat yourself, but you should treat yourself to really good, homemade stuff…not processed, store-bought crap with unpronounceable ingredients. When I talk about treats, I talk about two kinds: taste treats and calorie treats. Most of these treats are calorie treats, but that’s OK!
I truly believe that the more time you spend making delicious treats, the more confident you’ll become about learning to cook healthy foods. (And if you’re convinced baking will make you gain weight, you can read this post about how I stopped licking the beaters.)
