That loaf would probably call me to consume it entirely! Homemade bread
and I are not easily separated. :-)

You have a great idea, but I confess to not being terribly inventive when
it comes to what we eat on WW. Mostly it's grilled well-seasoned chicken
and steamed and very lightly butter vegetables. This is where it gets
tricky, because of David's unwillingness to each much variety. Damn him!
There are tons of things I would/could make that qualify as low calorie,
low fat, and healthy, but you think he would eat them? Hell no. I have
probably at least 2 shelves of nothing but cookbooks that are for very
healthy food. I ask him to pick out recipes he would be willing to eat and
he comes up with zero. Alas!
