We had a blizzard here with continuous snow fall from early early morning until late afternoon. My husband and I didn’t even consider venturing outside!

I inspected the seeds through their plastic container, trying to determine if they had too much salt on them. No salt crystals noted; they looked pretty [...]
Published on Mar 5th, 2008 in Sugar Addiction | 6 Comments »Well here’s an interesting bit of news.
I ate a piece of cake at work. …OK, that wasn’t the interesting bit of news, but keep reading! I’m ‘painting the picture.’ Well, this piece of yellow cake was fluffy and moist with thick, chocolate frosting. My favorite combination in a cake! I had [...]
Published on Mar 4th, 2008 in Cravings, Sugar Addiction | 2 Comments »I started a food journal last week with the ultimate purpose of helping me get control of my sugar cravings and eat cleaner.
