- Easy & Delicious Yogurt Cake15 April 2012, 8:01 pm
When a recipe turns out so well, sometimes I eat and blog at the same time. Right now I have a little plate with a piece of yogurt cake and chopped, fresh strawberries. It is so good I never want it to end. I was having a little sweet tooth fit, with nothing in my kitchen to nibble on. This is a good thing. If I had junk food I would eat it. Days like this force me to get creative in the kitchen.I searched other blogs for recipe ideas, craving something chewy and sweet like cake. I found a Honey... - Absolutely Delicious, Chewy Vegan Gingersnaps10 April 2012, 1:34 pm
O. My. Gosh.I've perfected the gingersnap.This cookie has been my favorite since I was a little girl tugging at mom's apron, begging to lick the beaters. I used her recipe for years, even sold the cookies at a lovely little coffee house in Seattle called the Library Cafe. During my vegan years I messed with the recipe and toyed with other people's vegan gingersnap recipes. The real challenge came when I cut out refined sugar, and ate mostly vegan. I've posted those gingersnap recipes, using grou... - 60 MINUTES: Brand New Research Shows Sugar is Toxic7 April 2012, 5:28 pm
I don't know what I am more excited about: the 60 Minutes interviews, the doctors doing research on sugar & the body, or the funny response to the interviews on the Sugar Association website.Watch this segment of 60 Minutes where doctors reveal new studies that show sugar can wreak havoc on your health. Heart disease, cancer, obesity and Type II diabetes are some of the health issues discussed."Dr. Robert Lustig is a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, San Francisco an... - Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits3 April 2012, 12:29 am
My dogs love these.The best part is that my older mutt (in the background) has a very sensitive tummy but she can eat these with no problems. Most other treats we try with her and we're running for the bottle of Pepto.Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Dog Treats1/2 cup milk1/2 cup oatmeal1/2 cup peanut butter1/2 tablespoon baking powder1 cup white whole wheat flourPreheat oven to 375. Mix together dry ingredients and then add wet and stir together until dough forms.

In my going-on-five years of sugar sleuthing I've come to understand one thing really well: Food manufacturers know and capitalize on our lust for the white stuff. That is why it is getting increasingly difficult to find naturally sweetened (or non-sweetened) packaged foods. When I started out giving up sugar in 2008, I could verifiably count on a number of companies to provide naturally-sweetened products. Since then some companies have begun to use refined sugar. The horror!Pamela's cookies&nb... - High on Juice13 March 2012, 4:15 pm
Freshly juiced fruit and vegetables do not taste how I anticipated.The first time I juiced I got nauseous. And I don't get sick like that. However, my husband drank his tall glass of juice and asked for more, so I tried a different blend of fruit and veggies and tried a sip. It was a little better. Since then, it's only gotten better. I can drink almost any blend and I love it. Not sure why my taste buds/stomach rejected it at first.With amazon credit, I was able to get this fantastic juice... - Ice Cream, Sugar and Cocaine6 March 2012, 2:42 pm
Am I the only one who has a problem with ice cream? Apparently not.Check out this news story claiming that ice cream may be as addictive as cocaine. Hilariously sad.Juicing recipes, pictures and my thoughts coming very soon!!... - Avoiding Sugar Can Change Your Life28 January 2012, 4:32 pm
The countdown begins. Today is Saturday and Monday begins the juice fast/feast (depending on how you look at it).All those little bouts of purging sugar from my kitchen ended badly. I kept caving. How is it possible to go almost 3 years without sugar and then have this much trouble quitting again?My hope is that with 2 months of juicing I will know better than to dabble with sugar. If I play with sugar, it wins. If I abstain from sugar, I win.Quitting sugar changed my life once. I know quitting ... - Extreme Make-Over: From Grumpy & Frumpy to Juicing and Sugar-Free16 January 2012, 7:01 pm
My next endeavor is to juice stuff.The goal is to try juicing for a month or two and see how it helps with sugar cravings, energy, my sleep cycle and my weight (which has skyrocketed since moving to Texas--go figure!).My husband is on board with this, too. Amazing.We watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead together and when it ended we looked at each other and shared an ah-hah moment. We still have to do our research to see how this will be done, the health benefits/risks, etc. We're really not-knower... - Quitting Sugar, Again16 January 2012, 6:43 pm
2012 Re-Quitting Sugar from myyearwithout on Vimeo.It was easier to go without sugar for 3 years than it has been to give it up for a month at a time. The holidaze were the worst! I think people wanted to watch me feast on the white stuff. Every imaginable favorite dessert of mine was homemade and waiting for me when I returned to the northwest for Christmas. On the flight to Portland I turned down freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (Frontier Airlines) and ate from a healthy pre-packed lunch. ...
