As I mentioned to you all in yesterday's recipe post, I am tackling the holiday sweets monster head-on now. I figure a head start will give me somewhat of an advantage and hopefully help me keep the annual holiday weight gain in check. I do still plan to bake lots of the holiday goodies that my family loves, but I will also be keeping a few lower calorie, low fat dessert recipes in my arsenal to keep me from devouring half a pumpkin pie or a half dozen of frosted sugar cookies. I am a firm believer in not trying to dodge my sweet tooth cravings. That will eventually lead to a sugar and butter induced binge for me. But what I can do is trick my sweet tooth into thinking that it is indulging in a sweet treat... ;)
On a recent shopping trip to my local Walmart, I picked up a box of Pure Via 40 Count Packets and knew right away that these would become a very important weapon in my arsenal against the holiday weight gain. Pure Via is made from the pure, sweet extract of the stevia leaf. That means no artificial processing or preservatives, folks. It is all natural, non-GMO, and the best part? ZERO calories! :) Read more »
