My problem is that a lot of desserts taste even better when they're frozen, straight from the freezer. Pies, cakes, muffins - put individual portions in the freezer and they still call to me ...!

Yep - this is my standard peanut butter cookie recipe. Just be careful because they can be a little crumbly - may have to add more peanut butter, or might depend on the size of your egg. Also try it with brown sugar - I've used just 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead of the white sugar and it worked well.

I like your style - can we swap recipes? My problem is all the yummy things I want to make, but having to limit myself to only making a few things at a time so they're not sitting around the house ...! Sorry to hear about your oven - hope it gets fixed soon.

Yeah, the side-effects of gluten aren't that pleasant ... but on the bright side it's stopped me from eating any more of those cookies! Only a little over my calories for the day since I've stopped eating the cookies, but overall the week is still good (and I lost weight this week too, to put me in my maintenance range…

Thanks guys - moment has now passed. I can't get picked up for another half an hour now, and then we'll be going shopping for the supplies for pizza, and then I'll be making the pizza so I won't eat until dinner now. Thanks again for the suggestions and support. Greatly appreciated.

No, it's not an evening snack - that's just where I put everything I eat that doesn't fall under the breakfast, lunch or dinner! For example, I had my raw energy bar around 10am, my mandarin at 2pm and I'll have the rice pudding after dinner. And thank you for saying I eat well - made me feel warm and fuzzy inside! No, not…

I've just had a mandarin (and brushed my teeth). I know that's not that filling, but it was really yummy. I was thinking about walking around the block, but it's just started raining. I don't really want to eat anything like chicken stir-fry or noodle soup - I only have 150 calories left for the day once I account for the…

Oh, and I've been drinking lots of water, already had one mug of green tea, I've brushed my teeth several times now as well. I just need to have that self-control (which I know by definition needs to come from within)!

Thanks heaps Acrylics and LolBro - This is an amazing achievement for me as I am trying (desperately) to be consistent with my calorie intake, without extreme zig-zagging and eating whole bowlfuls of cookie dough like I have so often in the recent past ... and getting praise from you guys who have given heaps of advice…

I used to suffer a lot with periods, with cramping and migraines. Since going GF, they are much lighter, last less time and I haven't had a full-blown migraine for ages. Gotta be happy with that!!

Oh, and I only had a spoonful of the dough of each of the cookies and 2 of the finished floured cookies, 1 of the finished flourless cookies. BIG NSV for me as I could have easily eaten the whole bowl of dough of each of them! And I stayed in my calorie limit for the day. And today I was at the very top of my maintenance…

Thanks for the recipe - and I love trying new things so continue to share as you wish! I have actually tried those cookies - very yummy indeed! Here's some photos from my baking on the weekend: All these recipes are on the cookathome.info website - just something I work on in my spare time (not trying to promote it, but if…

Is it too late for me to jump in?

My next question is - if I'm not hungry, should I try to eat, to avoid having too low a content for the end of the day? As mentioned before, I have been known to do extreme highs and lows within the same week and I'm aiming for a more consistent approach ... I know it's only one day and tomorrow it could all change again -…

Thanks - I just had something small to eat for lunch - see how the rest of the day works out ...

Thanks for the quick comments. However, just checking the two breakfasts - they both have about 22-23g protein in them. I was definitely having gurgly tummy noises both days on the weekend (and could have done with my morning snack), similar to previous days where I did have the morning snack. Today, just feeling full ...…

I love cooking from scratch and do so the majority of the time - especially since I have a gluten sensitivity, it makes life easier if I make it, rather than risking the restaurant meals. I eat lots of vegetables, not as much fruit. I would be quite happy cooking meatless dishes, and often do for myself with beans, eggs,…

I've just started compiling all my recipes on a website - I try to do a weekly blog post as well, discussing all my successes and failures, especially with the gluten-free cooking. Check it out if you're interested: http://cookathome.info/

Thanks for the comment. I know I'm not alone and I know I'm not the only one who has done the overeating thing. I guess what scared (and annoyed) me about this weekend is how much I could (and did) eat. I knew what I was doing, I knew I was eating more than I needed, but I kept doing it. I did go for a walk on Saturday,…

Bump for other opinions?

Cookie dough - if I'm baking myself, I have to have a spoonful (at least) while mixing, just to make sure it's ok. Then, after I've put the first batch on the tray, if I don't have a second tray to put the next batch on, I will stand by the bowl and just spoon more and more into my mouth while I'm waiting for the first…

I managed to go for about 3 months without accidentally eating any gluten until a lunch last month, when I chose the wrong sushi (it had breaded crabsticks, when I thought it was just normal fish). Normally I just want to lie down in the foetal position when the stomach churning etc starts, but this time, I was at work, so…

Great plan! As a fellow GF eater (non-Celiac gluten intolerant), can you let me know the recipe of your peanut butter pie? I love anything with peanut butter ... and if it's paired with chocolate, then you've got me hook, line and sinker!!

Just an update ... for those who may be interested. We made it back to our home country earlier this week, I have now gotten back to 58kg with not baking anything since early last week and eating under 1500 most days. I am very tired and jetlagged ... and will give myself a day or so over the weekend to bake, but am trying…
