NuNaturals Stevia Giveaway!
[Peppermint Nanaimo Bars coming up next time! Sweetened with NuNaturals Peppermint Stevia.] If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time at all, you know that stevia is my go-to sweetener (yes, I use xylitol, and yes, I use coconut sugar/nectar, but for most of a candida diet, stevia still trumps them all).

SOS Stevia: Crunchy Green Salad
Nobody loves dessert more than I do (well, except maybe in New Zealand, where they eat more ice cream per capita than anywhere else in the world. . . as I’ve said before, I really must move to the antipodes). I’ve been known to eat dessert for breakfast, for snacks, for lunch, or for dinner. I’ve […]

All About Stevia*
* with apologies to Bradley Cooper and Sandra Bullock (though from what I hear about the movie, they should be apologizing to us). [Stevia-sweetened giant baked apple pancake] How did it get to be Sunday already, and five days since my last post? Well, I haven’t been lounging around watching soap operas and eating bon-bons, […]
It’s the Berries: Stevia-Sweetened, Gluten Free Blueberry-Lemon Muffins
I know; who says things like, “It’s the berries” any more? Okay, well, I admit that I do. I also say “take umbrage” (and said it even before I knew the Harry Potter connection), “just chillaxin’” and, sometimes, “the cat’s pyjamas” (but only when I feel like teasing The Girls). But honestly, this recent revision in my […]
