Oh yum!

Grilled banana- seriously one of my faves at the moment. Who needs refined sugar when you've got these babies? Add a little butter to the pan and you've got some serious deliciousness! Had it on my porridge this morn- not the best pic (or the best looking porridge - note to self, get up earlier to cook porridge properly!) but it was so yum!

Yep, find and follow for more sugar free goodies

Savoury treat

These are the most delicious treat I have had in a long time. Pepper and cashews, what is there to not love? I purchased these babies from Twins Pantry at the Bendigo Easter Fair. They also do the Bendigo Farmers Markets amongst others, or you can order online at twinspantry.com.au

Oh no!

What a fail! Choosing Easter weekend to start being totally sugar free. First hurdle- not being at home at lunch time, unprepared. Oh dear. Sausage in bread, tomato sauce...fructose overload. Excuse? I was hungry.

I am not going to beat myself up about this though, just be more prepared for this in the future.  Fingers crossed I can resist chocolate over the next few days- and my Nana's trifle. Seriously the best trifle in the world....must resist...

In the beginning

Here it is. The start of a new era. Being sugar free is something that I have toyed with for the 13 years. This is due to two reasons- putting on weight when I was still a teenager, and then the beginning of a 12 year long career as a dental assistant.  I have never gone completely sugar free, but I can say that I have lived mostly sugar reduced for this time.

I have been inspired and intrigued by Sarah Wilsons' journey to quit sugar, but I am going to ease myself in.  First step is dropping all pre packaged products, which shouldn't be too onerous as it's not a large purchase in this house.

So, golden rule #1- if it's in a packet, don't eat it. Fingers crossed we don't slip too early in!
