I've been craving junk food lately - blame it on pregnancy. Every time I'm in a grocery store, it's all I can do to not buy candy bars, donuts, cookies, etc.
Today while I was shopping was no exception. But then I thought, "hey, it's Mother's Day this weekend. I deserve a treat, right?"
So I broke down and bought a brownie mix. But I was trying to be sort of good, so I spent $4 on a gluten-free mix, instead of $1.50 on a regular mix.
And then I got it home and read the ingredients. The first ingredient: sugar. Really? For a brownie mix. Isn't flour (of some sort) typically the first ingredient? Okay, so I kept reading, thinking flour would come next. But no. The second ingredient: chocolate chips. The third ingredient: cocoa. Can you believe flour was the fourth ingredient on a brownie mix?
I didn't even dare look at the fat and calories after that.
But, they taste good (for gluten-free brownies) and they satisfy the craving :)
