All this healthy cooking and baking has me hankering for just a little unhealthy treat. Trouble is, I just can’t bring myself to cook something for dinner that is not low-fat. I’d be messing up my husband’s streak of eating nutritious, low-fat, or at least lower in fat meals.

But a girl can dream about cupcakes or a nice pot roast, right? Come with me on my imaginary food journey.

Becky of English Mum shared her mum’s recipe for marmalade, and it had me salivating over the possibility of making marmalade (which I’ve never done) and having it on a whole wheat bagel one morning. Rebecca Crump of Ezra Pound Cake had the most divine looking panna cotta with blackberry sauce that made my mouth start watering over the very thought of sneaking even one bite of that dessert. Oooh, but let’s move on to entrees. One cannot eat dessert all day!

I happened upon Wanna-be Lasagna from Kitchen Stewardship, and I was happily surprised to find a lower fat, Italian recipe that looked delicious. I’ve been trying to find more meatless recipes (with Lent coming up) and I found one that I’d love to try: a veggie muffaletta. A tip of the hat to Kona Gallagher at CliqueClack Food for what looks like a delicious meat-free sandwich.

I am starting to feel hungry looking at all that good food, so I must go. Mmmmm. I couldn’t help myself and I made blueberry pecan oatmeal muffins. I’m afraid they are not low-fat. What food are you pining to have?
