I know....

I went into the kitchen recipe printed and ready to start. I looked at the time and thought...NOT. Then upon thinking on it more I decided that I am stronger than lemon cake!!! Really I am!!! I figure if I repeat this to myself all night by tomorrow I won't want it anymore. I will save it for the holiday time. Then there are so many people around I will be lucky if I get a taste!

Your willpower deserves praise compltlyme

I bet there's ways to make this lower in fat and calories though, like using applesauce or strained prunes instead of the oil.

I think I will wait...something about replacing oil with strained prunes that I think may take away from the lemon....Yep I do think I'll wait! But thanks for that!
