Sugar Free Hot Chocolate Recipe

March 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 17 Comments

The perfect sugar free hot chocolate recipe has eluded me, until now. I’ve tried many, many variations on low carb or sugar free hot cocoa, only to be left not in love. Which is so sad, because I’m a girl who LOVES her hot cocoa and hot chocolate! Not to be deterred by multiple failures,…

Sugar Free Brown Sugar Recipe

December 3, 2013 By Gwen Brown 208 Comments

this sugar free brown sugar recipe is an awesome low carb alternative for all of your baking needs!

A sugar-free brown sugar recipe is not something you really ever think about until you are working on going low carb.  And the holidays hit.  And then it ranks right up there as a ‘need’ next to toilet paper and oxygen. “Wait…they MAKE that already,” you might say.  “There is a very tasty product called…

October 8, 2013 By Gwen Brown 39 Comments

Can REAL Sweet Iced Tea be sugar free?  This southern girl is here to tell you YES it can!  I’m an artificial sweetener despiser, but I promise that a good brand of stevia is all it takes to take your sweet tea from flab to fab.  I’ve read many a story of a true southern…

Perfect Peanut Butter

July 9, 2013 By Gwen Brown 31 Comments

Perfect peanut butter recipe?  YES!  But I’m not just tooting my own horn here.  There’s a perfectly logical reason behind the name that I’ll get to later. All you really need to know right now is that it’s amazingly simple, and absolutely toasty-warm-creamy-licious-peanut-buttery perfection.  If you’ve ever tasted warm, freshly ground peanut butter at specialty…

This Taco Seasoning Recipe is brought to you by special request this Tuesday. First, I want to tell you a little about WHY and HOW I got into making my own spice mixes. The WHY part is because I started reading about Monosodium Glutamate or MSG, and how frequently it’s used in our foods.  Not…
