I was at Starbucks, just the other morning and I was stunned! Yes, I was stunned, shocked and in a state of giggles. A man came in and loudly ordered "She'll have a cup of nothing and I'll pay a lot, for it." Then later I heard a man laughing, "I'll have a Tall Blonde. They did that on purpose, didn't they." I wonder what I will hear next time I go...?!
I saw this bread in their display case, the Chocolate Cinnamon Bread. I had to laugh...bread, right! More like rich, decadent chocolate cake baked in a bread pan. You know like those grocery store muffins-so much sugar n' oil. It is cake people, CAKE! Who do they think they are fooling?! I kinda wanted a piece of this Chocolate Cinnamon Bread. Daughter was off from school-it is exam week. She talked me out of it. I knew with all the running around- I would get low blood sugar. I wish I had bought it and tucked it in my purse. The idea of it, just kept nagging at me. So, when I got home-I found the recipe online and baked it. ( I know naughty)!
Bad, bad idea...now two loaves of so called bread taunting me. See, I don't diet in January. Yeah, I know the calendar turns and it is time to shape up, lose those so called holiday pounds. I do need to lose a few, but January is the month of flu, and I have auto-immune issues. I do not diet in January. February is when I start to get busy, when the gym isn't as crowded, people are now focused on Valentine's Day. Right now I am focusing on eating well and building muscle.
I think it is better to go treat yourself to an indulgence. You know once a week, go have that brownie, that extra sweet muffin or perhaps that slice of Chocolate Cinnamon Bread. Go get your treat, enjoy it and don't bring it home! Baking at home can be dangerous! Danger, Will Robinson- Sorry if you don't remember Lost in Space-oh, the pain! lol
Yes, I made the bread, I mean the cake-no the bread! Yes, I am a neanderthal ninny!
