  1. I don’t eat sugar either (or gluten). I licked the spoon of the brownie dessert at Easter and WHOA! So seriously sweet my back teeth hurt. Good for you! You might want to read A Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes.

    Good for you, Leah, for going sugar free. Out of town family here this weekend. Home made pancakes & applesauce for breakfast. Yum!

    Just Wow! I am a total sugar addict – there's a whole comfort eating thing going on. I admire you for persevering with your decision to drop sugar.I'm sure the health benefits will be very long lasting 🙂

    Good for you! I've done the Whole 30 and gradually let all the bad stuff back in. You are inspiring me both in diet and quilting now.

  5. Yay for you! You're not nutty out weird. I found that there's even sugar in dog food! I, I,t too, am doing away with sugar. It's feeling really good. Keep on with your choice and I will work with mine!

    Applesauce! I must try that next time!

    It definitely forced me to recognize the emotion behind my eating habits. It was very hard the first 3 weeks. I felt so uncomfortable and I couldn't find comfort in the foods I'd depended on for years. It definitely forced me to take better care of myself and manage my stress better too.

    Aw! That's wonderful Marti!

    Dog food? That's a new one. Ridiculous! I hope it goes well for you. Just remember to take it easy and give yourself lots of space and comfort from other things.

  11. I am doing keto in my cancer battle. My friend has an awesome pancake recipe.

    I was out of almond flour so used almond meal instead. Now I use half almond flour and half almond meal. So yummy. And with keto I use grass fed butter and slather them in it. Oh my!

    That sounds delicious Robin! I do hope you feel better soon!
