4:05:24 PM | Thanks, John. -:) I'm going to look into a dehydrator, because it seems like a good option for making tortillas. I actually just recently was given a Ninja power blender, which I just started using, and love. It's great, I've started making nut butters (almond, pecan, walnut, etc). I'm happy, because it's saving money, and I didn't realize how it tastes so much better when you make it yourself. I'm going to try to make some smoothies, too!
What you mentioned about Stevia makes me feel better about using it. I wasn't sure. My health food store has another alternative, Xylitol, but I think it is a sugar alcohol, which doesn't sound as good to me.
I just made the Coconut Avocado Ice Cream on the site today (delicious!), and added some liquid stevia to it....it is very sweet, it seems like a little goes a long way, but the ice cream tastes so-o good with it, I feel excited that I have a nice frozen treat all ready to go in my freezer, now, for the warmer weather....I may even try varying the flavor with maple or almond extract in my next batch, or freezing the Coconut ice cream in some popsicle molds, for Coconut frozen fruit bars.
It's good to find so many "cleaner eating" recipes that are good alternatives to what I used to eat. It makes me feel like upgrading my diet isn't really such a big of a sacrifice ~ the options are huge. It seems like a lot of people, in general, are switching to Anti-Candida or Paleo, because of gluten or yeast sensitivities to over processed foods...maybe this site is ahead of the game!
