Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - Sweet Treats for the Sugar-Free Family, Part 2 |
I forgot to add: hot chocolate! We had some this afternoon. I just
warmed some raw milk in a pan with a few spoonfuls of organic cocoa (I
have the Rapunzel brand), and when it's nice and warm add honey to
taste. Yummy!
I think that finding a few little treats like this is important if you
want to go sugar-free, because otherwise, staying sugar-free is just
not that realistic. Your taste buds do adjust to being sugar-free, and
you taste more sweetness in your "regular" food, but every once in a
while, you need a treat. Otherwise, your diet just becomes...joyless.
We don't have treats like these every
day, but a few times a week is nice. And I think that endulging your
sweet tooth once in a while is a God-given blessing - there are just so
many sweeteners out there other than refined sugar, that it's not that
difficult to avoid it.

KayinPa was posting about Chocolate Chip Cookies the other day, and I made some last night (shame on me) and now I'm reading yours and wanting Hot Cocoa!
I agree, a treat every once in awhile is ok, and your body does adjust to not having sugar all the time. I'm still learning how to cut back...
