We are a society that thoroughly enjoys our sweets. Cakes, cookies, pies, candy. You name it, we love it. Where else can you find stores devoted entirely to countless flavors of jelly beans? If you walk through any shopping mall, you'll find chocolate shoppes, espresso shoppes offering an array of irresistible sweets, and department stores with their own signature decadent treats from chocolate bars to elegant truffles. Under normal conditions, we can pass these by, stopping only occasionally to buy a special gift or enjoy one special piece of quality chocolate.
But, at this time of year the sweet bar rises to a whole other level. We have candy canes in a variety of flavors. Chocolate, which is already in abundance, is now available in more special shapes and flavors. We even have "lumps of coal" (or lumps of black sugar) for naughty boys and girls. And, then we come to the baking. Oh, the baking! Homemade special holiday breads, cakes, candies, fudge, and cookies are mixed, rolled, baked, and decorated in homes throughout the country. Have you ever heard of, or been to, a Cookie Exchange? It's a gathering of friends who bring dozens of fresh-baked cookies to one friends house. Each person then takes some of each others cookies. Everyone goes home with the same number of cookies that they brought to the party. Normally, the cookies aren't eaten at the party. Other refreshments, equally as yummy, are served. For the most part, our holiday creations often are made from recipes that have been passed down from mothers and grandmothers. These recipes were developed before the time when there was an issue with consuming copious amounts of butter and sugar. With many people trying to be more health conscious, finding a way to "have our cake and eat it too" is the best of both worlds. There are several options available now days. Artificial sweeteners have come a long way. They've developed a product from sugar that doesn't metabolize in the body like sugar called sucralose. It can be used cup for cup in recipes calling for sugar. It also can stand high temperatures, so it's an ideal substitute when baking, with a little added liquid. Natural sweeteners can also be very effective for turning your old favorites into sugar free or no-sugar-added treats. Honey and corn syrup are two of the most popular. Various fruit juices can be used to replace the sugar, while counting as part of the liquid in the recipe. Many experts agree that grape and apple juice provide the most sweetness for the volume, but other juices such as pineapple and orange will also add sweetness and flavor. Unsweetened applesauce will add some sweetness and moisture to baked goods, such as cakes, muffins and breads. Another convenient item to keep on hand is baby food fruit. It comes in many flavors, is well pureed, and can also be added to baked goods for flavor and moisture. However, the reality is that with all the sugar that's out there, some of us will still need some help with the amount that makes its way into our bodies. This is especially true of our children. Using a natural formula that helps prevent the absorption of sugar into the body is the perfect solution. One that is made of plant ingredients such as gymnema sylvestra, sweet leaf, and licorice is most effective. Using a sugar buster, such as this, and some of the alternative sweeteners we discussed when making your homemade treats will get you headed in the right direction for a truly sweet and healthy life.
