In Response To: Cake = Browns?? ()

: I am day 11 into sugar detox and have
: been doing weird things. Last week
: I made sugar free oatmeal cookies
: and yesterday apple/fig sugar free
: "cake". I am no big
: cook, so baking is like being from
: another planet! I wonder if I am
: making up for my missed sugar bomb
: that I was still eating daily at
: dinner before detox??? You can bet
: that I get ZERO rush from that
: stuff I am making.

: So then I thought, since I am using
: whole grain flours, maybe those
: goodies can be considered part of
: my browns at mealtime. Am I just
: fooling myself here or what?

I know you're serious, but I can't help remembering a co-worker asking me if brownies would count as a brown because, you know they're brown, right? :h19)

I add fruit to my browns all the time and it works well for me. Figs would be a pretty big sugar hit for me. I am wondering if your sugar free cookies and cake are made with artificial sugar or flavored by the fruit? Artificial sugar and I just do not get along. I become like this little emoticon :s4( I am still looking forward to making whole grain pancakes and mixing in blueberries. :h11)

What does your journal tell you about these experiments? :h5)
