I've eaten more sweets since cooking from Heaven's Banquet than I'd ever eaten before, but it's a different type of sweet. Pumpkin Bread (page 362) is an example of what I mean. Before if I wanted a sweet, I'd go to the store and buy some M&M's but now I have a slice of my homemade bread and usually I have plenty left to share. Most importantly, I know what's in it... 1/4 cup of butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar for the whole loaf. So how much butter and sugar am I getting is one slice? Not as many calories as I get in a bag of M&M's and no chocolate cravings either. Also, it contains 2 cups of fresh pureed pumpkin so it has some nutritional value too.
