This Ought To Be Illegal Updated! With Pics!
January 8, 2007
UPDATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!
With the amount of food we ate at Granny and Papa’s, I’ve been very aware of what I eat since I left. I know, that was only Saturday night. So for 2 days. Baby steps. I’ve been sticking to the low fat, low sugar thing, and surprisingly, not snacking as much as I did over the holidays. Of course it helps that I don’t normally eat half a box of chocolate-covered cherries in 3 nights like I did at their place. God.
So tonight I had to hit the grocery store after chiropractic and stumbled upon:
Low!
Fat!
Brownies!
I didn’t even KNOW there was such a thing! My withdrawal from chocolate has been tough the last couple of days. To say I’m slightly irritable would be an understatement. I feel like I’m quitting smoking all over again. I contemplate the possibility of being a sugar addict. There are worse things.
Back to the low fat brownies.
Hello, my little delectable bites of heaven. I’m sorry if I was ignoring you.
Dylan made them for me. Granted, they are of the ‘just add water and stir’ variety, but he was more than happy to lick the spoon. Then put it back in the batter.
My poor wittle brownie-wownies, I’m sorry he did that to you. I’ll fire him immediately. Don’t cry my little dears.
After an agonizing 25 minutes, I plucked them from the oven, only to read that they had to cool. Sigh.
I came downstairs to my other addiction, the internet, for comfort. But Y let me down as she blogged about her pie today. Not her pie, her pie. Whatever. So when I saw her pie, *snicker* I thought of my beloved brownies again.
Never fear, the brownies and I were reunited. I topped one hot, moist brownie off with (low fat, low sugar) Mochaccino Frozen Yogurt. Kelly would be proud of the coffee frozen yogurt. Heaven in a box. Speaking of “in a box,” I’m sure you’ve seen the SNL video Dick in a Box, but have you seen Box in a Box, or even better, Tits in a Box? Too funny.
Oh dear sweet brownies, I nearly creamed my panties with the first taste of you.
See why food and I should not be having this torrid affair?
Oh yeah baby. Who’s yer Mama?
*UPDATE*
Ya’ll wanted to know the brands I used. To answer your questions, dearest Mamatulip and Jess, they tasted amazing, in fact, my family devoured the whole pan in 24 hours. They are chewier than regular brownies, but still very chocolatey and delicious.

You’re welcome! Oh you can’t get President’s Choice in the United States? Send me a Target, and I might consider sharing.

Okay. If you are going to call yourself a sugar addict…I wanted to let you know you just broke the very first cardinal rule of being one. WHAT BRAND???? I mean…LOW.FAT.BROWNIES????!!!! AND you said they were good? That’s a rare (almost unimaginable)item. So listen here lady….hand over the chocolate (and a dab of that yougurt wouldn’t be a bad idea either) and no one will get hurt. I swear

I’ll have to look into those! I’ve lost 8 pounds by not being a pig, I mean, just not putting such LARGE amounts on my plate. A person still need to have treats, I just have to remember, low fat and not the WHOLE tray.

Not only am I proud of you for that, I’m insanely jealous after my first full day of dieting for The Biggest Loser contest at my school and I’m terribly cranky … so… ummm… thanks for posting food that I could possibly eat if I’m a good girl.
When am I ever a good girl? Fuuuucccckkkk. That ain’t gonna happen.

I am sitting here with my V8 and Baked Lays Potato Crisps and am SO jealous of you right now.

My diet is going well. I’m not too interested in the brownies, but please do tell me more about that frozen yogurt. Brand?
Thanks!

NoPudge Brownies are the way to go. Just add yogurt–and chocolate chips, and, and, and– to the mix,stir, and bake. They have a few varieties too, like cappucino and mint. Highly recco.

Oh Karen, way to make your poor, starving cousin suffer.

But the burning question is, did they taste like real brownies that are chock full o’ fat…or did they taste like sawdust?

How do they taste? I just started WW and I need my chocolate fix. I bought the WW chocolate cake things but have not dove into them yet.
