Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 10 AM here and I am done with all that I needed to do for the time being and can relax for some time. I have been working at a stretch for last three hours and now my feet need some rest. I deserve to relax and mylot for a while. Yesterday I had coconut almond cookies baked by my daughters. I controlled myself from tasting the chocolate cookies as I was scared that too many cookies would shoot my sugar. My morning reading for sugar was 96, a well controlled one despite of that sweet cookies last evening. . I had a light breakfast of poha( an Indian breakfast dish made with rice flakes and veggies). Now I am treating myself with ginger tea and these chocolate cookies. They are yummy. Definitely my daughters are getting close to professional bakers And I would go for two cookies today. I did a nice workout today and I can go for some extra sweet today. Then it will be no sugar till next Sunday. Leaving you with picture of that yummy cookies. I will be more into notifications kicking and reading posts here. Have a good Sunday

We have got enough to last for a few days. Saves me from making snacks for this week.

@DianneN Yes Now I have accepted that I have to live with this damaged pituitary, hormonal imbalance and I do my best to live a healthy happy life making healthy choices. I don't want to be dependent on too much medication to manage my things.

They were as good as what we get in stores. I am diabetic for last 13 years. I had a Haemohhrage during my second child birth and that damaged my pituitary. So a lot of hormonal issues following that and I got it. At first they put me on insulin. But within few years of diet, lifestyle changes and my regular yoga, I was off insulin and even my medicine doses came down. Now I am on minimum dosage and want to get rid off that too in coming years.

The ones in the picture looks quite yummy! Are these too home baked? I had some digestives from Grofers plus tea right now. And it was quite enjoyable!

Wow, what a lively discussion on cookies. You sure did bring some 'gusto', now I am craving for delicious cookies. You and your daughters must have a lot of bonding over baking. That's the best feel a mother could savor.

I am not much into baking. I enjoy cooking more. Glad that both enjoy baking and I can see a lot of sister bonding happening over baking. Cookies always look so tempting. I can't have more as my sugar shoots up.

Cookies with tea is a tasty combination. Sugar will not shoot up if having just one or two low sugar cookies

I try to have some sweet treat once or twice a week in small portions. But I make sure that I check my blood sugar level before treating myself. . These home made cookies by my daughters were as perfect as store ones.
