Yep. Nothing has really changed. Local fresh natural food is mostly to be trusted. highly Processed/GMO/pesticide covered crap is still crap and now even worse. I eat only good stuff that tastes better and is cheaper than fast food because i cook it my self and buy in bulk.....I'm really amazed these days how people don't know how to cook and really don't have a clue about nutrition or a balanced diet.
I'm glad I taught both my boys how to cook. Neither of their wives know how to cook at all. One does bake from scratch like I do, but how can you not know how to cook?
Being required to pay extra for everything that enters my mouth (yes protiens send my sugar levels up), I have made sure everything I choose to eat is good. Often I just won't partake in the bland dessert options others think are worth it. Learned to make a fantastic fudge at 14, amazing cakes from scratch, and how to adjust cookie recipes to be worth the extra insulin before graduating high-school...
It depends on what I am baking. With carb counting, I need to take insulin for all my carbs, and extra if I have protien/fat heavy meals (ie 2nd or 3rd shot sometimes). Granted if I take the ultra fast acting inhalable stuff (Afrezza) I just set my CGM to a low level & huff some insulin every time I go above that line. Some meals have me huffing insulin every 30-40 minutes for a few hours. All the things that make me fat & should give me heart issues.
My mother taught me to use sugar like one should use garlic & vanilla. Estimate it until you like how it tastes 😅
Some recipes I have cut back a bit on sugar, though more often than not I use what a recipe calls for & if I am just going quick it will end up with a heaping instead of levelled cup so maybe 5%-10% extra.
If I have to take the insulin for it anyway, I better enjoy it 😜
edit - The biggest key is to love what you are doing & enjoy the bake. That love really does bring a much better flavor & a Japanese study showed how that emotion makes a better structure in water.
There is nothing better than a good belly laugh when you are recovering from brain surgery. Thanks so much for that. I told my husband that I was certain Stacey Abrams would be the focus of this week's Sunday Funnies but she wasn't in there once. Guess we'll see next week. I feel like the old days when we had to wait for daddy to read the whole newspaper including the funnies before we got to see them. Thanks for that memory.
"Biden appears to read the teleprompter instructions."
Seeing a lot of conservative news sites lately using "appears" when it should say "fact, this actually happened!"
Have you noticed everything we eat is suddenly bad for us? Fact, or fear?
Depends on what you eat. Pretty much everything I eat is pretty good.

Good for me is a different question.
How much sugar / sweeteners do you put in those cakes / cookies etc?

Of all the things sugar is one of the worst to put into the body. If baking is your passion, its gonna be tough fren!
It certainly is. I use honey & monk fruit too for various recipes. Though I just love backing & cooking in general.
That's so nice to read!!! I love baking from scratch too. Tastes so much better than store bought in most cases.
It almost always does, with very rare exception.
If it's plant or animal, it's probably fine. If you are not sure what the heck it is, it probably isn't. This is my basic rule.
Ah man, that's the memo I missed 😂
From my LOL's, I wish I could updoot more than once.
Biden's random rantings have suddenly gotten more entertaining.
