I love corn, but I don’t think corn likes me. One of my favorite baked goods is cornbread. My mom always made it when we had comforting meals in the winter. She would serve it with chili or beef stew and we would drench it in butter and maple syrup. […]

  This is one of my favorite side dishes. It’s from Taste of Home. I recently did a healthy makeover on it, mainly to reduce the fat and thereby the calories. I use half and half instead of heavy cream and cut the butter in half. My healthier version also uses […]

 These cookies are flavored with just a hint of molasses, yet are very low in fructose. They are also gluten-free and wheat-free! Are we done with the holidays yet? I only ask because I’m about to go crazy with all of the obligations. My husband and I have made a concerted […]

  I have been using A LOT of vanilla lately. What with all of my low-fructose baking experiments and keeping my hubby supplied with French Vanilla Almond Granola, I’m buying it all the time. At $5 for 2 ounces, it can get expensive fast. I was suprised to find out […]

 Craving a cup of warm, creamy, comforting chocolate on this cold, snowy December day? Look no further than this hot cocoa mix, sweetened with dextrose. Wow, we are still trying to dig ourselves out of the eleven inches of snow that fell yesterday! It’s the perfect time for hot cocoa. But what […]

 …..on my nose and eyelashes. These are a few of my favorite things. And so are these cookies! Since I figured out how to make sugar cookies safe for fructose malabsorption in my Low-Fructose Sugar Cookie Cutouts, I decided to make snowflake cookies again, like I made a couple of years […]

  It’s hard to believe these cookies are so low in fructose! Made with powdered dextrose and a white rice flour blend, they are as delicious as they look.  What are the holidays without sugar cookies? I really wanted to come up with a fantastic recipe for my fellow “fructmalers” […]

  Just this one last post about Thanksgiving, then we will move on, I promise. Well, I am working on another low-fructose dessert, so there may be another one coming up, but not right away. I want to get Thanksgiving out of the way because I am excited to share […]
