I agree with this in general about ANY diet. It's easy to

turn a diet into a religion. It is true my own diet is

very free from certain foods, but, inside my brain, I

have not " given them up " any more than I gave up

drinking epicac or nibbling on rat poison bars or

drinking Coke (I never DID drink Coke, just don't like

it). Some foods make me very ill and I won't eat them.

Some foods are not really good for me, but I do

eat them when I feel like it (like German Chocolate

Brownies made with coconut milk ... ummm).

Guilt, in my mind, is fairly useless for such things

as planning what to eat. Do *what works*. The

emotion of guilt is usually for signalling " I have

offended the alpha person in the group " or some

such. When it comes to diet, the person who

suffers or benefits is YOU, not some hypothetical

food police person.

Sure ...

Easy Brownies

Melt in a baking pan (9x9, or a pie plate)

1/2 cup butter

2 squares unsweetened chocloate

Add:

1 T cocoa powder

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

1 tsp. xanthan gum

2 T applesauce (or any cooked mushy fruit or vegetable)

1 t vanilla

Mix it all up. Then add some chopped nuts and marshmallows, if you want. Bake at

350 til done (about 30 minutes).

Top with German chocolate frosting if desired.

“German Chocolate” Frosting

1 can coconut milk or 1 cup heavy cream

6 egg yolks

1 cup brown sugar or rapadura

1/2 stick butter (or 1/4 cup coconut oil)

A bit of vanilla

Mix it all together and cook until thick. Then add a mess of nuts (roasted

chopped nuts are the best) and coconut. Excellent by itself, in a tart shell,

on a cake, or on brownies.

Use the leftover egg whites to make merangues later.
