“D” is for Delicious

Oatmeal Raisin cookies. =D

But I just saw this article and my mind might just be changed: http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2008/07/16/millennium-falcon-cake-would-make-any-geek-cry-for-joy/

Heck yes, in a heart beat! That is a great choice.

You. Are. Not. Helping. Me. I believe I would eat chocolate covered ants if the craving got strong enough! Which it just might…I am not buying “goodies” except things like blueberries, strawberries etc. Could they be dipped in chocolate and still count as being healthy???

LOL, I’m sorry! I had to alleviate the ‘heavy’ from the homeless article. How about some agave nectar?

But there is a more interesting use for this historic plant. Agave syrup (or nectar) is about 90% fructose. Only recently has it come in use as a sweetener. It has a low glycemic level and is a delicious and safe alternative to table sugar. Unlike the crystalline form of fructose, which is refined primarily from corn, agave syrup is fructose in its natural form. This nectar does not contain processing chemicals. Even better, because fructose is sweeter than table sugar, less is needed in your recipes. It can be most useful for people who are diabetic, have insulin resistance (Syndrome X), or are simply watching their carbohydrate intake.

I get it from Whole Foods for about $5 a bottle. (Well worth my money!) It has a consistency like honey, except not as thick. The flavor, also, is much less distinctive than honey.
