A tale of a frozen family

Since I’ve been kind of a slack azz in the focused weight loss arena in the last few months/years/decades I figured instead of focusing on ME ME ME… the one thing I could do would be to share a low fat recipe that is tried and true with others… and then perhaps others could do the same.

If I can’t be hard core weight buster, I can at least help others to get healthier.. with what I KNOW.. versus what I do!

Here is my latest though… which I have been using every day. You see… we gave up all artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup in this house. A very big leap for this diet pepsi aholic. I have replaced it with home made lemonade, made with Stevia… What is Stevia???

Stevia-From a South American plant called Stevia, this herb has an abundance of positive effects. The whole leaf contains numerous phytonutrients and trace minerals and is much sweeter than sugar with out negative effects. It can sweeten with no calories, no carbohydrates, no tooth decay and is diabetic safe. Stevia nourishes the pancreas and does not raise blood glucose levels, making it not only safe for diabetics but also beneficial. (Source: www.alacarb.com/glossary.html)

GOOD STUFF! I works wonderful!

Here’s my stevia lemonade recipe… very simple.

I juice 6 or so lemons (to get 2 cups of juice) I mix that with six to eight cups of water.. depending on how “potent” the lemons are and then mix in a couple of teaspoons of stevia powder. I taste. If it’s still a little bitter, I mix a little more stevia, until a yummy mixture is achieved. Easy Peasey… and GOOD FOR YOU! AND… virtually no calories.
