Long time, no post!

I am trying to have a sugar-free Friday. I almost bought a cupcake-- but didn't. Then I almost ate some lemon fudge-- but didn't. Then I tried to satisfy the craving by having mashed banana on top of a cracker spread with cream cheese, which I have to say was surprisingly good. But I still want something sweet, most particularly cake with ( Read more... )

New Year's Resolutions, I see! ;)
Maybe this page might help you: http://www.gluten-free-vegan-girl.com/
It's a large collection of recipes for healthy sweets and other gluten-free, vegan food. In most recipes, you substitute sugar for dates or other dried fruit.
I discovered the page during my vegan phase and got addicted to it, especially to the vegan, healthy Nutella :)

Awesome site! I have got to make those vanilla-bean chocolate bars. Thanks for reminding me that I can make healthy sweets.

I was given a giant Costco-sized jar of Nutella, and I wish I could give it to you because-- please make sure you're sitting down for this next part-- I do not like Nutella. I know, right? Everyone likes Nutella! Why don't I? It's the hazelnut factor. I just don't like hazelnuts. If Nutella could make an almond version, I would probably eat it every day.

I haven't visited that site for some time, and now I remember why: I always get hungry when I look at those delicious recipes!

What?! How can you not love Nutella?! Lol, just kidding! Maybe you could try the Nutella recipe with almonds instead of hazelnuts, I'm sure it would taste awesome. All you need is a very strong blender (our blender doesn't really like nuts).

Welcome back!

4 sugar free days seems a bit much to start with. Maybe start with 1 and then work up?

What a sensible suggestion! January 16th was the last time I managed a sugar-free day. I think going for one day a week would actually work better for me at the moment.

So glad you are back. It has been a while. I kept checking back to see if you updated Justice. I'm glad everything is good with you and welcome back!

Thank you! I feel so bad for back-burnering that story for so long, but I always intended to finish it.
