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!
