Guest guest Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 Tomorrow is dh 40th birthday, since it won't be a free day for us I am trying to find a suitable birthday cake substitute. He loves peaches so I was thinking some kind of psuedo peach cobbler, anybody have a recipe they tried before thats BFL. Last minute I know but I'll do his regular cake on Saturday our free day, thanks Yeta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 Bless your sweet lovin' healthy hearts. I would say have a BFL authorized meal (Hey, you can make sirloin, baked potatoes and salad!!) and have a tiny slice of REAL birthday cake. I mean, that's a really special birthday!!! I think we shouldn't stress these special moments in our lives and enjoy them as they should be, not try to cram them into our program. Kudos to you for trying to have a BFL birthday. I don't even like cake, but for DH...I would sacrifice...LOL Astra > Tomorrow is dh 40th birthday, since it won't be a free day for us I > am trying to find a suitable birthday cake substitute.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 I came across this web site surfing for BFL recipes. Have any of you heard of these recipes/cookbooks? Any thoughts? They sound intersting and very yummy! http://www.recipes4health.com/ Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 Oh the pictures look yummy! I haven't run out of free recipes yet but when I do I'll have to give them a try.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 Has anyone tried just eating the cake part but not the icing? Cake is never one of my big cravings, I'd rather have something Mexican, but in a pinch, and so as not to offend someone's grandmother, I have scraped the icing all off and eaten the cake like cornbread. It's all bad, but the lack of icing isn't AS bad. I have to do this with my kids at birthday parties because they can't eat the icing either. DH, however, eats two pieces WITH icing. Tsk Tsk!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 Too Funny, my DH and 10 year old son scrape off the icing because they don't care for it, (I used to eat my cake and frosting and then eat their frosting..... Yuck I know!!!!) My DH had his 40th birthday meal, fresh peach sliced and a cup of cottage cheese and he was very pleased. We did buy a real cake for our free day, the tiniest little cake for two with gooey birthday roses and then split it 6 ways because we had company and all I could think was YUCK!!!! The change in my eating is so profound I really don't look at junk the same way anymore, it is just fat and sugar and how the heck did I ever think it was acceptable food.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 When the icing starts to gross you out, you're a real BFL freak! Stasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I almost always do this. I am not an icing person--only if it is a good chocolate icing. Even then though, I can't eat it all. My son and I have always shared the cake--he gets the icing and I get the cake. Kathleen > Has anyone tried just eating the cake part but not the icing?
