i'd also rather use real butter. i read somewhere that the human body knows how to process animal fats but doesn't know what to do w/ manmade chemicals like trans fats (margarine) and doesn't know how to process it and get rid of it so it builds up in the arteries and causes athersclerosis and also irritates the liver.

Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary so DH said we're going out to dinner. Not sure where yet, but he's a meat eater and probably wants a good steak.
congrats on the anniversary!
lost a big long email
yahoo is getting suckier and suckier!
Thismom, went to HyVee last night, didn't find the non dairy stuff but did find some decent blinkies and an entire $10 Keurig TP
Love2B, I picked up 3 PF tonight and no GC prompt. 2 bronzers and 1 mascara.
I've coupon shopped 3 times since Noah was born and we had a lot of groceries on the shoppig list, not to mention all of the new food that doesn't have milk or soy in it made for nearly 2 carts full. Cashier said I should apply for EC.
I haven't done many of those deals lately. When they go good, they are really really good. But when they go bad. Ugh!
I did get Walmart to PM the Clean and Clear though. One time went quick. One time took forever.

Sounds like you scored with the Keurig tearpad
I don't know why I never thought about stevia.. Does it leave any after taste, I felt it happened with splenda… Only recently I was thinking I am consuming too much sugar and was thinking about the alterative when all the peeps here were talking about sugar free syrup…
We use unsulphured molasses with our smoothie. I am not sure if I want to add molasses to my coffee. Now every time I grab a drink my mom is nudging me to go down with my sugar intake…
......
aftertaste... depending on the brand you buy. look for stevia powder/pills (white) with the highest "rebaudiosides a" concentrate.
essentially there are 2 main components in a stevia leaf that give it its sweetness. one has a slight bitter aftertaste, the other doesn't. so if you look for a stevia extract with the highest proportion of that non-bitter compound you'll get sweetness without bitterness.
if only life were this simple.
here are 2 sites (promoting their own stevia extracts) that explain the basic background:
site 1 [herb-care.com]
site 2
[wordpress.com]
My opinion -- and it's just that, an opinion -- is that sugar is far better for us than any artificial sweetener as long as it isn't causing a weight problem. I drink diet pop, I use Splenda so I'm not a fake sweetener hater -- but I am also overweight. It is simply one way for me to cut carbs and calories.
Splenda is sucralose - a modified sugar molecule. They changed the molecule so that it is not digestable by the body and passes through without adding any calories. Problem: some people get gas, bloating, cramps, nausea with it much like they do with Olestra (fake fat - remember those potato chips and how people started getting explosive episodes, shall we say?) . It is an artificial sweetener, still, and it's effects aren't fully known. But supposedly it is safer than saccharin and aspartame and such.
It can have a slightly bitter aftertaste but I still like it.
But, the times that we have gotten Stevia, I have simply looked for the white powder (not the dried leaf, which is bitter) and then looked for the % of the sweetening compounds as I mentioned above. If you're getting bitterness, it's from the "s-compounds".

first CONGRATS on wedding anniversary! I hope you both have a love-filled day!
second agave nectar should work just fine. it's a great product and a great idea! as would Lyle's Golden Syrup (it's a British product - cane sugar syrup). Doesn't have a distinct taste like molasses.
but again, let's be clear: maple syrup, molasses, Golden syrup, agave nectar, all of these are just naturally occurring sugar syrups. It's just molten sugar, but found in a plant and not dried and crystallized by humans. that's all. you're still upping your glucose intake. so if cutting back on sugar is the goal, then none of these work.
it's no different than saying i am trying to cut down on my sodium intake so instead of using table salt, i am using Himalayan rock salt, or better yet, i'll just add sea water to my cauliflower to boil it.
kay was looking for something to sweeten tea, coffee and milk.
things that worked for me back when i was drinking caffeinated stuff (no more caffiene thanks to migraines
1. i started using flavored coffee beans/flavored ground coffee instead of plain coffee. hazelnut flavor. chocolate raspberry. mocha vanilla. the flavors imparted a slight sweetness to the coffee and cut back on any coffee bitterness.
2. experiment with different roasts and different blends. each really does have a different flavor. for example, i loved the starbucks pike's peak blend. it's well rounded and mild.
3. don't overbrew - it will make your coffee bitter.
4. for tea, i switched to teas like earl grey instead of just the plain old black tea. or pick a fragrant green tea. or try something like constant comment which is spiced and the cinnamon flavors add enough flavor that you don't need sugar. if you're drinking indian chai tea mixes, and want sugar with that, well hey, atleast now it's only sugar in 1 cup of tea.
5. okay, i hate milk from years of being forced to drink it while I was lactose intolerant, and the mere thought of it is making me nauseous. but seriously, when I was little and mum made us drink milk, since I constantly gagged on the taste and smell, she had put things in it to help. spiced milk (with a little powdered ginger, or powdered allspice) helped. milk with cocoa powder was another option. you could also get no sugar added chocolate with a high cocoa content (it's good for you
6. you could always drink your milk this way:
1 part frangelico
1 part chambord
2 parts cold milk
blend serve "nuts and berries" over ice. it is my favorite drink.
or perhaps with a generous swig of kahlua?
p.s. how did we go from talk of stevia to cocktails?
Men are idiots. That. Is. All.
Happy Anniversary SlickKate!

I tried a Pioneer Woman recipe tonight and it was so good! It was a lot of prep, but fun and very easy. The pic is DH's plate, he said it's a keeper and then went for seconds.

I made Pioneer Woman Chicken Spaghetti yesterday. I divided in two casseroles and froze one. We liked it. I like most of her recipes.
Pioneer Woman Chicken Spaghetti [thepioneerwoman.com]
I
sign of a bad economy i guess. last year i managed to get 2. wonder if i'll get any this year?
HDD, that chicken spaghetti looks pretty good, might have to try that sometime.
I am way beyond ready to fish. We went to check out an old bridge area out by the river last night and there was a guy there fishing with a little boy. DH was talking to him and the guy was just ignoring his pole and their bobbers weren't on right. Either something in the river hit his line or he had one heck of a bite and he just ignored it . Never even checked it his bait, nothing. It was driving me NUTS but I didn't really figure I should grab his fishing pole and start fishing with it.
Cate -- Happy Anniversary!

GG: Did you get my email last night?
Little man is the nakedest babeh I have ever seen. I have to put a diaper on, then a pull-up, and then some underwear to keep him from undressing himself every.2.minutes. Although, he has peed in the potty at least once every day for the last week...I swear he will PT way before big brother.
