Review: Great recipies, but according to the health nutrition with the recipies we should not be eating them.

These are the all the old favorites we loved before we knew the whole nation of the USA was getting too fat. My mouth drools reading the ingredients but all you have to do is look at the nutrition info at the begining of each recipie to see that they have enough carbs in one cookie or bar for a whole meal!!!The nutrition info isn't really very clear. I assume it is giving the amounts of carbs and fats for one serving, but it doesn't really say. And how you get 35 servings from a 9"x13" pan isn't explained. I tried some math and gave up on it. I think you would need to cut the bars of the "Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats" into about 1 1/2" squares and even then it won't come out quite right. And one serving would have 44 grams of carbohydrate and 13 grams of fat. I'd rather eat something a little more filling and nutritious than a tiny square of fat and sugar.I love peanut butter and it is my morning protien but I have it on dry diet bread toast with a cup of coffee. There is a smoothie recipie that makes two servings. It has yogurt, a banana, pb, skim milk, and "two scoops of chocolate". Two scoops of chocolate what? Cocoa mix? Something like Nestle's Quick? I know it can't be cocoa powder--that would be awful. I couldn't find an explanation of this anywhere in the book. The smoothie recipie has 45.6 carbs and that is over my meal limit too.If you don't have to count carbs and fats, this book would be great for you. Unfortunately, most of us do so we really should skip these recipies.
