If you think zucchini in brownies is unusual, how about black beans,
avocado or chickpeas?

Those recipes have been around forever. And in the 80's you could buy
"healthy" brownies at the grocery store. I tried some. Although the flavor
was fine, they often had a weird, gummy texture to them.

I looked at that webpage. Give me a break. I love brownies but they
are nothing but a luxury junk food that your body could do without.
Great for the tastebuds though.

If I want a brownie, I'll buy or make real and plain ones. Tossing
vegetables into the mix is just trying to fool yourself into thinking
you're eating heathy. If you want to eat healthy, skip the brownie mix
and just eat the veggies that you might add.

Absolutely agree, Gary! The occasional indulgence in something like
brownies or a slice of pie or cake, no problem. But some people go
overboard when it comes to recipes like this, thinking hey, it's got
vegetables in it! Must be good for me, I'll eat the whole pan!

I get irritated when I see all these ads on TV for the so-called "diet"
systems - Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers come to mind. They go out of
their way to point out all the DESSERTS you can eat. Come on, folks.
Just because they sell you some faux sweet treat doesn't mean you should
be eating it every day.

Reminds me of a friends some years ago that stated buying some of the
Weight Watchers foods. She once told me "the ice cream sandwiches are
surprisingly good. I just had three of them."

After a certain age, cookbooks start to feel near-useless unless you're cooking for several people every day - and, preferably, you're being helped by those people.

That is, after that age, you really do have to eat tiny meals if you're trying to keep your weight down, so it hardly makes sense to spend a lot of time cooking, with multiple ingredients, when you can only let yourself have maybe five mouthfuls per meal. And forget about a daily dessert, unless it's an apple.

One could argue that if you CAN stick to tiny amounts, you can eat anything you want - but who eats just one tablespoon of ice cream?

Sometime additions can make a major improvement.

I made some hash brownies once, years ago! Wow!! Only true hallucinations (mild) I ever got from cannabis! Powerful!
