This is 1/2 of a slice of Franklin Nut Cake (315 calories!). See why it is so hard to resist? Look at all those yummy pecans (four CUPS of them in the cake), and candied cherries and pineapple (the green). Isn't it beautiful?
I had one slice today, and I've worked in one slice for tomorrow, but I had to cut out a few things to make my daily average calories stay at this week's target of precisely 1,650. Have to have a slightly smaller portion of butter beans tonight, and no Pimiento Cheese Spread on crackers tomorrow. I really want to make my target since I missed it last week.
I think that for next week, I'm going to increase my target to 1,700. I may not lose any weight that week, but I won't feel "deprived" of anything at our Christmas get-together - IF it even happens. Snow forecast for Friday night, with freezing temps after that. Plus, with my MIL having Covid, there's a chance she won't be over it by then, or that some of the others of us will get it. I hope we CAN have it, though, so I can get through the holidays without prolonging any damage.
