Do you have the fattest sweet-tooth ever?! I know I do! If you check back through the blog roll, i'm always baking sweet treats, anything savoury is blogged by Paloma. I thought my life as I knew it was over as...Iv'e given up sugar!! (except fructose)
This means no sweets, ice-cream, chocolate, and I thought it meant no home-baking either, all for glowing clear skin and a summer body. I was so wrong! I went along to my local supermarket and saw a bag of Truvia - the pretty green packaging caught my eye. It has NO calories and is made from the Stevia leaf. I thought i'd look online for recipes to use and found this one for choco chip cookies.
