Re: GINGERBREAD BROWNIES.....
My husband and I have been LDLers since July 5th and this is the first time I have tried this recipe. My husband couldn't believe that it is made with BEANS! I cut the brownies into squares and I topped the one I ate with Polander Orange Marmalade -- scrumptious! I put the cut brownies into the freezer, two to a baggie, so we don't eat too many at one time. They defrost quickly on top of the kitchen counter.

Re: GINGERBREAD BROWNIES.....
Kathie I think dry beans will be a whole lot cheaper. I got 6 cans of Bush's Pinto Beans last month .98 cents a can that $5.88, went to Sam's club yesterday and got the 10 pound bag for less then $6.00 dollars, and if you have a lot to cook for they also have a 50 pound bag for about $22.00 (happy cooking ). And when you cook them yourself you KNOW what's in them. Sam's Club is also cheaper on there Frozen fruits, fresh fruit and their meats then Wal-Mart, and I get all my frozen fruit there and some of the fresh fruit.

Re: GINGERBREAD BROWNIES.....
Niki have you heard that old saying "Every things bigger in TEXAS". Well if you every get to Texas be sure to go to Sam's Club and stock up on the 10 pound or 50 pound bags of pinto beans. That would last for a little while. I sure wish they had all the other dry beans in 10 or 50 pound bulk. Well I guess us Texans can't have every thing.

Re: GINGERBREAD BROWNIES.....
Thanks for telling us about the ten# bag. My mom used to buy 25# of flour, 25# of sugar, and 25# pinto beans. Meal came in 10# bags. She kept them in large lard cans. She didn't go to the store much. She raised most other foods, and canned them. I enjoy cooking my own beans. Cans are good if in a hurry. I always keep some on hand. When doing Texas Caviar and some other recipes, I use canned beans.. Joyful Friend

Re: GINGERBREAD BROWNIES.....
JF your welcome, glad to help, but I sure wish I could find all the other beans in 10 lbs or 50 lbs bags, it would sure save some money. I can't believe I have never cooked dried beans until LDL, but I love them, I always had my sister o2bthin to cook them for me.. But now I have to cook them myself... . Does any one know a place in Fort Worth/Burleson area where you can buy stuff in bulk?

The best thing you can do, Kathie, is to follow Roger's advice as outlined in the book. You'll notice that there are no "bakery type" items mentioned when he talks about what to do to satisfy your sweet tooth. He recommends over and over again that you need to eat all of the sweet fruit that you can get your hands on in order to satisfy your sweet tooth and satiate your cravings for sweets. I worry a lot about people having problems when they try to change the basic way of eating on Let's Do Lunch. One of our members Sahara has recently come back to us after taking a big old detour on the "homemade bakery items" road that led her astray. Let's look at it this way. I've been on Let's Do Lunch for six years. I'm saying that maybe this year for my birthday I'll have these brownies, and I've never had them before in the past six years. That's what I mean by "occasional" eating.

golordgo,
I don't know how far back your reading went on this topic, but because you are a Newbie I thought I would chime in with Mary's helpful tip about eating this LDL treat. I made them for the first time four months into LDL and found that I really enjoy eating fruit more.

Re: GINGERBREAD BROWNIES.....
Just a thought. If you cook with Nutrasweet (aspartame) it is destroyed by heat and no longer tastes sweet. It is also an unhealthy choice. Pam

Re: GINGERBREAD BROWNIES.....
On another board I read that it was OK to eat these in quanity at dinner If so , aren't the eggs in the recipe limited to only certain times?

Re: GINGERBREAD BROWNIES.....
Hey, SweetRose, I think people realized that this recipe should be eaten occasionally as a treat, but not so often. Read the post by Vickilynn a couple of posts up from this one. It'll have a quote from Mary Simmons about it. This is a bit processed, if you think about it. Processed is not a good thing. Food as close to how God made it is always a good way to go. He has lots of sweet treats available. The pineapple I had this morning was so delicious.
