The no sugar summer is going well for our family. The fudge pops are still a big hit. I must keep them stocked in the freezer because my son has one every day! We also tried a new cookie recipe that was delicious!!! It’s hard to eat just one!!! I’ve already posted this recipe from the blog, Cookie + kate: Maple Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
For Father’s Day, I made Alicia Silverstone’s Favorite Cupcake recipe from her book, The Kind Life. I could not find this recipe on her website, thekindlife.com, but if you click here, it is almost identical. They are sugar free and good! The cake is SO moist! Here is a picture of this yummy cupcake from my kitchen:
Our church had our Vacation Bible School lastweek, so I did allow my kids the option to eat the snacks prepared there. 3 of the 4 days had something with sugar. They were small treats…not a big snack. I considered this a special occasion since VBS only happens once a year. I just let them enjoy.
Homemade lemonade and lemonade popsicle recipe coming soon. Those are still a favorite of my kids and their mom!
One quick clarification – you may notice that some of the recipes we are enjoying include chocolate chips which do have sugar. I’m ok with eating these because we eat the dark chocolate variety and dark chocolate does have health benefits. I’m at peace with this “cheat”.
