Yehbutnobut I haven't taken it the wrong way.
On this occasion I certainly did taste the Bakewell Tart (why not?) but it was essentially made for guests.
Not that I don't eat sweet stuff, I do.
However, I very much doubt a piece of Rice Krispie sugar-free slice, will result in this obese, 72 year old carking it.
I stay clear of wheat (99% of the time but I'm not obsessive) and as my grandson is sugar free, gluten free and dairy free, I'm researching and experimenting like mad so he doesn't miss out at Christmas.
Callistemon I am but it's nothing to do with calories, more the above for my dgs.
I long ago gave up on calories to prioritise for good health.
I can (and do) easily live without wheat and sugar and my daily diet has been low fat for decades but an 11 year old at Christmas deserves some wee treats so he feels like everyone else.
The Bakewell Tart experiment was the first time I'd made that particular recipe with less than half its sugar content and I expected it to fail. The fact it didn't, gives me courage to go on and try more things.
Dgs loves ginger cookies, so now I am trying to find and make a wheat free, sugar free version.
Sadly, so many of those who write about 'sugar free' goodies on the Internet, don't seem to realise golden and maple syrups, molasses etc is still sugar!
