Photo of the Week.... God knows I have tried!!!

Yeah, aspartame is a migraine trigger for me. Splenda is OK, but I sometimes get a weird aftertaste from it, so I went looking for alternatives. About the only thing I use the monk fruit in is my coffee, because I REALLY don't want an aftertaste with it. LOL :) I'm going to try using it in some cooking as I explore making some high protein things from scratch, but I don't know how it'll cook up yet. It's supposed to be heat stable, but you never know until you try it. :D

Kathy-love the picture :)

You know...I gave up pink...I gave up blue...

I decided I am NOT giving up yellow...if has artificial preservatives...good...maybe the mortician will need less embalming fluid...I refuse to eat/drink any more yucky stuff...Don't even ask me about that agave stuff...spit...spit..

My Syntrax Fuzzy Navel is bright yellow/orange color. No clue what horrible chemical causes that very vibrant color but I love it so I am not investigating.

I really can't do stevia. I'm a splenda girl and I'm unapologetic about it. My thought is that somethings gotta kill me eventually, I'd rather kinda enjoy life. Stevia is NASTY with a capital NASTY.

It's only Splenda for me. Even though there are new reports out that stevia can kill Lyme disease bacteria, I just can't
