Well I'm feeling good enough in the mornings now that I thought I would try my hand at baking again. So as soon as I'm done with the computer today I'm going to bake about 5 dozen cookies.
What kind you ask?
White and Milk Chocolate Macadamia nut cookies.
Oh drool time.
Now I have to be good. I can't eat them all. I did promise last week Monday, when I last saw my RE, that I'd bake them some cookies to say thanks. Oh and I can't eat much of them because of another reason; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
I've known for a few months now that I have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Recently, 1 June to be exact, I found out just how bad via the ultrasound. It could be worse but moderate is bad enough I think. I have to ask again, "why me?". I've been good. I've been dieting and watching what I eat for years. Well I'm just special is the answer.
I guess for some of us it just doesn't matter what we eat, how much we exercise, or how hard we pray if we pray at all; bad things are just going to happen whether we like it or not. I think I'll blame genetics.
I can also blame genetics and hormones for my shopping sprees too. Wait what? Yes, its true. Women tend to shop for items that make them more attractive, irregardless of price, when we are ovulating. Well ovulating is something I can do. What I can't do is make a baby with my bad eggs or at least one that will stick around any length of time.
So I'll get my happy on today making cookies. Maybe if they like the cookies so much they'll lift the sex restriction? I can hope. E-gads its been at least 6 weeks since I've been allowed sex of any kind. Hmmm...I wonder what I can put in the cookies to make them do my bidding?
Oh goodness those sound yummy! My husband made some oatmeal chocolate chip when I was sick. Hopefully I will be eating them very soon. Have fun baking!
ReplyDeleteMy husband can cook but he doesn't like doing it even if he is good at it. I guess he hasn't learned the pleasure of giving good food.
DeleteUmm you can't just throw the cookies out there and not send me some :) How about a recipe instead?
ReplyDeleteThe recipe is the basic chocolate chip one just modified with white and milk chocolate chips. Wish I could send you some cookies but I bet the mail man would intercept the package and nosh on them.
DeleteMmmm, cookies. I bet they're delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have NAFLD too. My PCP told me that if I lose weight I can probably reverse it, but they aren't too concerned with it overall. I do have to get my liver enzymes rechecked every 6 months though since I'm on Metformin too for the PCOS. I never really give it too much thought. It's pretty common, for what it's worth.
Its a pain in the butt to yet again have to modify my diet. Soon I'll be down to eating just air, that is if I stuck with what I should.
DeleteMmmmm they sound so good! I'm sorry there is another thing on your plate. Sometimes I hate genetics. High cholesterol runs in my family and mine was high for a long time right when I hit puberty. I have been able to get it down a bit with diet and exercise over the years, but I will probably be on medication at some point.
ReplyDelete6 weeks! UGH! I hope they lift the restriction.
I was told I can now but only if its not going to hurt me. LOL everything still hurts as I'm finding out, including taking on the housework again.
