So, no takers on SparkPeople? Alllllrighty then...
Moving on:
I'm thinking about resurrecting Tea Time Tuesday. What do you think? Was that something ya'll liked or was it just for me? Either way I may go for it. Now that the weather is cooling here I'm craving tea. Of course, scones are hard to do low cal ;)
I have been trying my hand at low-fat baking. I'm pretty sure I'm related to Paula Deen, given our shared love of "buttah", so this has been quite a stretch for me. Applesauce has become my new best friend. Now I'm working on a substitute for butter ON my muffins, biscuits, etc.
Anyone have a low-fat option they like?
I'm torn between using the artificial sweeteners and fat substitutes, and using the real deal in moderation. Apparenly, it's that moderation thing that I tend to have trouble with.
We had a funny the other night. I asked a family member if she had any sweetener for RedDaddy's iced tea. She said, "I do, but you know it's poison, right?" I replied, "Well, I don't want him to go before me, so I'd better have some poison, too." I don't think she appreciated my attempt at humor...oh well.
What's your take on the subject? Are you in the low-fat-low-cal-at-any-cost camp, or the natural-even-if-it-means-a few-extra-pounds camp?

Hi friend!! I'm all about being happy. Sometimes I'm craving the real deal, others I'm focused on the single digit.
I didn't notice that you rejoined Sparkpeople. It's WAY over whelming for me. (Who knew) but, you gots my support!!!!!
Welcome back to blogland! It's fabuloso to hear from you. I choose natural over the poison stuff...I don't think you want to get me started on that... I could write a book. : )
I need to be on the SparkPeople site but can't add another login/goto at this point. I'll keep it in mind... I'm going into the holidays with no room to gain a pound and still zip my pants. Ouch.
Look forward to sharing life with you again.
My Hubby said sugar only and then added as for me and my house we shall have no poison. He has yet to explain why gummy bears don't fall into this catagory. It also stinks that he's skinny and I'm not.
