my fair lady


All I want is a grill some we-ah (where)

Far away from the cold night air

Wiff one enormous salad -
Oh wouldn't it be lover-ly!
Lots of fried apples for me to eat

Lots of fings that are oh- so sweet

 
To take good care of me
Oh - wouldn't it be lover-ly!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Fried an apple in cinnamon and butter....
Talk about autumn good!
And a little taste-test on the sweeteners.
Meh - it's a draw!
What are your favorite sugar-free subs?

Hope your weekend is everything good!

  3. Is that a square plate, or a tile? Either way, it's loverly, luv!

    And now I want fried apples! Fortunately, we just bought 2 Fuji's from this years new crop. Now where's that butter and cinnamon. Is it dinnertime yet?

    Oh.. I've found the BEST tasting sweetener is always a combination of 2 or more. Somehow, that cancels out any negatives from each, and I just end up with "sweet".

    And for things that are real wet, like yogurt, tea, etc, I'll add a drop of EZ-Sweet. It's a liquid in a tiny squeeze bottle (from Netrition). It seems expensive, but 2 drops is very sweet in say, a medium glass of water, or a serving of yogurt. And no granular texture since it doesn't need to dissolve.

    I use the same quartet in your photo, plus the EZ-Sweet, and pure stevia white powder extract (a lot cheaper than Truvia, if you use it a lot in cooking or gallons of ice tea).

    Off to cook my apples... very Autumn-y. :-)

  4. I am pretty Bohemian - true!
    But that is a paisley plate from Bed Bath and Beyond.
    Not a tile square!
    I once said it was for serving square meals.
    hehe
    That was way back in the day!

  5. I love using glycerit (liquid stevia) along w/the ones you have listed. My daughter loves Fiberfit.

    I found a recipe for an apple sort of cobbler made with zucchini! I hope to try it soon :)

  6. I am a fan of agave nectar, but that would be my crunchiness coming out.

  7. I'm a fan of Liquid Stevia. A total convert. No waiting for powder to dissolve - or not. No accidental, icky lumps of sweetener ending up ruining your dish. Comes in flavors too - vanilla creme for coffee, lemon for iced tea. Love the stuff!

  10. I'm a sweetnlow girl (pink package) for cofffe, but use brown sugar splenda for cooking. I have a new microwave and saw a recipe for "baked apples"..I googled it so that would be more exact to find the "actual" one. It was
    easy and the results were good . I put about a taplespoon or 2 , depending on taste, of healthy smart margarine, 1/2 tsp of brown sugar splenda and melted in microwave with a couple of shakes of apple pie spice. Slice up apple and stir it up in the melted mix till pretty well mixed. Microwave about 3to 4 minutes. Frying it up looks good too,but I've never done that.

  11. OH thats something Ive been lamenting over--APPLES!!! Right now Im not eating fruits, and my most favorite favoritest apple of all, maybe even fruit of all is about to be in season. I adore Cortland apples and you can only get them here from end of Sept thru Halloween or so. *sigh* I might have to make a couple of exceptions--fried in butter with cinnamon sounds so great, and I have only tried splenda as a sweetener thus far!
    Oh and your fish looks--delish!

    YUM,

  13. Fun catching up with you today, Anne!

    Lately, I've been using (and enjoying) the NuNaturals brand liquid stevia extract(s). A winner in my book.

    Hope your Sunday rocks!

  14. Agave nectar ... even some flavored ones (depends upon what I am using it for) - a natural sweetner (a very little bit does the job) that doesn't create a blood sugar spike like refined sugar, etc. --- I bake a peeled apple with cinnamon and fresh nutmeg, and a bit of juice (no butter). Yum!

  17. Yes, my Friend - She!

  18. I think Truvia tastes the best, but I like Splenda just fine and use it whenever I need larger quantities since it's so much cheaper. And I never buy it without a coupon.

    There's store-brand Splenda out there now, which I might have to try very soon.

    Oooh, fried apples. I usually just buy "No Sugar Added" apple pie filling in a can and zap a little in the microwave, but I think the season might require something a little more home-made. Looks delicious!
