Banned from Sugar? WHAT?
8.11.2011
You can take away gluten, meat, even carbs, but don't you DARE take away my SUGAR!
Now, I thought it would be fun and a bit challenging to create gluten free confections! But taking away my sugar? After I made the gluten free brownies last week and purchased coconut flour, Xantham Gum, and all the other necessary items I would need to whip up G-free treats, B looked at me and said, "You know, just because it's gluten free doesn't mean its good for you." Turns out, he's wise beyond his years.
Fast forward to my appointment with my naturopath doctor. She literally stared me straight in the eyes and told me, "No more sugar." You can't tell that to a baker! Someone who literally gets HAPPY from baking, and eating, baked goods! I love sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, real sugar, fake sugar, sugar in the raw, powdered sugar, any kind of sugar is my friend! Or so I thought. Well, as it turns out, sugar is my enemy and it's time for a revolution.
I am now on the hunt for all things sugar-free and gluten-free that actually taste good. It's going to be a challenge, but when your health is on the chopping block, it's not really much of a negotiable issue now is it?
