Thursday Thoughts 4: Sugar Intolerance and Vitamins
Something a bit different for Thursday Thoughts today... Rather than a bunch of random thoughts thrown at you (!), I thought I'd respond to some reader requests. A few of you pointed out that I have never actually done a post on my intolerance of sugar after I mentioned it again in this post. Doh. I refer to it so often in passing that I felt like I had, but looking through my archives I don't have any posts written specifically about that. I know I've gone into it in more detail in guest posts I've written for other bloggers, but nothing actually on here! Madness.
New NuNaturals Giveaway!
NuNaturals are a big favourite in the blog world, for their absolutely superior stevia products that leave no aftertaste and no bitterness. I just love them. I was fresh out of my stevia packets and was relying on a supermarket brand that, in my opinion, is far inferior. I was so delighted to receive a 'care package' of sorts from NuNatural in the mail, replenishing my supply of not just stevia packets but liquid stevias as well!
Lemon Olive Oil Bundt Cake (and giveaway winner announced!)
I love bundt cakes - that is probably evident due to the fact that this is my third bundt cake recipe on this blog already (out of only five cake recipes - one of which is a cupcake recipe...yikes!). Click here for my orange sour cream bundt cake and here for my chocolate bundt cake. But they just look so much more appetizing in that perfect round shape, and you can get so many more servings out of a bundt cake, so they're better for you, right? Smaller portions and all...?
Cookie Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Cookie Monster is kind of a nickname I gave myself (is it lame to give yourself a nickname? Especially one taken from a Muppet? Oh well). If I'm being disciplined (which isn't often), I can say no to sweets. But I cannot ever refuse cookies. At least, not chocolate chip cookies. No amount of discipline keeps me away from those. Of course, the sugar rush I get from them makes me feel gross so I set out quite a while ago to try to make the perfect, naturally-sweetened cookie recipe.
