Ok I have to confess that I love to bake. I usually bake between 20-30 loaves of various breads the week before christmas break begins as gifts for teachers/friends/co-workers. I thought I would do ok. I thought I could handle it. The last 2 days I have eaten between 2-3 slices of baked goods! other than the baked goods I am doing ok. eating a very light atkins diet as the bread kinda made me pretty bloated. It (pumpkin/banana bread) will be out of the house tomorrow and I only have to make about ten more loaves of cinnamon raisin swirl bread and I should have that done by tomorrow evening. I may have to reconsider my dream of opeing my own bakery though...

Unless you start a low-carb bakery?Originally posted by MommaRuthie View Post
Have you tried some of the many Atkins-legal recipes around? I make several 'breads' and cakes which non-Atkineers eat without knowing they are low carb.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

Re: Christmas baking disaster
You SHOULD open a low carb bakery !!!! That would be sooo cool ... And i bet you would be the first to do it ...Infact you should open it in Vegas ( so i could shop there ) ;-)
Great idea Elizellen !!
As far as your High Carb baking goies .. Would it be sooo bad if you skipped it this year? Maybe buy some store bought gifts you can give.. i know it's not the same, but you gotta remember why you are doing atkins and the commitment you made to yourself.26 / F / 5'3 - start 9/9/09

Re: Christmas baking disaster
Oh yes please! Open it in the UK... I am paying £2.50 for a loaf with 15 slices the same size as a cracker and because it is fresh, you have to have next day delivery at £6 a pop..... and..... fume, fume, it hasn't turned up today like it should...Originally posted by IrishSarahHB View Post
Do you have any bread machine recipes?

Re: Christmas baking disaster
Nope no bread machine recipes-dont have one... I did sub splenda for the sugar in the loaves and I did sub 1/2 whole wheat for the white flour. I am gonig to research low carbs flours/baking mix. The bread is now out of the house! If anyone wants to loan me some start up money I wuld gladly start my bakery!!!! I was thinking about having a low carb linup option if I did start one up. Right now It looks like it is one of those things I will try and start once my kids are in highschool.Comment

Re: Christmas baking disaster
MommaRuthie,
I think you deserve some sort of award for only eating 2 or 3 slices. I know the smell of all that baking would've done me in. I'm usually not much bothered by the non-Atkins menu items. . . .but that lovely bakery smell . . . .oh, my. I think I would've had to confess to the group about eating 2 or 3 loaves.
Good luck!

Re: Christmas baking disaster
Ahh! The last of my loaves are baked and wrapped! Made 2 dozen loaves of raisin/cinamon swirl bread and didn't eat any!- Plus I'm back in ketosis today! I'm gonna go back to induction for a week or so since I overdid my carbs for a few days in a row.
