Well, just so that you all know, I had to eat some of the white chocolate cheesecake - too much in fact! Thankfully by yesterday afternoon, I had had enough of it and gave the rest to the neighbours! Sorry you dont live next door! Hope I've not ruined the diet as had been doing well. Oh well, at least its not an everyday thing, and have been really really good today!
Back to the cooking - I'm not sure there are many, if any thin chefs on the telly...would we trust them? Although they probably dont eat much....they probably skip meals as they are too full to eat, little and often? That is supposed to be good for you. My daughter, as a baby, drove us mad. She would never drink all of her milk. She was and is tiny, and would only ever have 4oz's of milk at a time. It made no difference if she'd gone 2hrs or 4 hrs, it was always 4oz's! Even now and she is 6, will not eat huge dinners, but what she does eat is good for her. She also takes ages eating. I and the rest of the family have scoffed down our meals, and then we have to wait another 1/2hr or so for her to finish! She chews properly, which is supposed to be good for you and has small portions, smaller than my 3yr old son! She is also very active. Lets hope she doesn't get the 'fat' gene!
She does enjoy cooking with me, but my son loves cooking more and eats more! He is not overweight, in fact he is also about average for his age, but I worry about his weight more than my daughters simply because he is in the kitchen with me more, cooking! So is cooking from scratch a good thing as it teaches us to eat as well?!
