"low sugar recipes" news and stories

When I read Andrew's post on Sugar High Friday I chuckled to myself. Mwa ha ha, I said evilly. I've been practicing for this event for over a year!

Yes. You see, last August when I became pregnant, I consulted with a midwife about how to reduce the possibility of having a second c-section. Her advice, given my particular situation, was to try to keep the baby's weight down by switching to a very low-carb, almost no-sugar diet during the last few months of the pregnancy.

I was completely unsuccessful in my attempt to either (a) keep the baby's weight down or (b) avoid a c-section. So this will NOT be a post about pregnancy diet strategies. It is, however, a post on how to bake delicious things with no, or very little, refined sugar. Because I'm a bit of a sugar freak. I adore baking, and there's nothing that makes me happier than curling up at the end of (every) meal with something sweet. I thought, at first, that it was impossible to go without sugar.

Happily, I was wrong.
