It isn't too sweet, and the flavor combination is wonderful! She said she found the recipe on Facebook

I found recipes for ice box cakes. There are a lot of varieties. Layering cookies or grahma crackers with fruit , pudding, cool whip, cream cheese, syrup, and letting the result sit overnight. The moisture in the ingredients soften the cookies, and makes a sublime dessert.

I went low carb right after I made a few of those, but they are easy, fun and pretty

I do love bakery but I'm supposed to be doing very low fat, carbs & sugar. What's left?

My sugar kept going up. I've been successful, and I learned a few things along the way. I eat avacado as often as I can, and have a 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon in my first cup of coffee every day.

While I got used to a food plan without carbs and sweets, I learned about almond flour and coconut flour. And from a DUer, monkfruit sweetener. I have a lowcarb gingerbread recipe that tastes great. I make a Neufchatel cream cheese dip/frosting, with sour cream and monkfruit sweetener, and that tastes good on the gingerbread, or spread on graham crackers. I can use the same basic recipe and make zucchini bread. I found an almond flour/Mozarella pastry. If you sweeten it, makes lovely sweet bakery, like fruit-filled Danish. If you don't sweeten it and roll it out, makes a terrific pizza dough. I make coconut flour biscuits. They are kind of moist, and take eggs, so I hadn't made them for awhile.

Since I've gotten away from the sweets, I don't have the longing for the sweets, so I don't have to bake anything very often. My sugar is well under control, the weight is staying off, and cholesterol isn't horrible. I can't eat yummy desserts every day, but I ca nindulge once in awhile Keep doing what you do.

she got a needle out of her medical bag and injected it strategically into the trifle.

and poured it on the metal railing a few feet away heating it up. My tongue came off with little damage to it. I was about 4.

If she got a run in her pantyhose she cut off that leg. Then, when she had another pair of hose with the opposite leg cut off, she would wear one on top of the other and nobody would know.

My older brother talked me into licking the mail box when I was 5 or 6. Ow.

I used to read Hints from Heloise, ideas like your Mom's.

It was a daily column in the newspapers, usually on the comic page or home section. First Heloise, then her daughter would get tips from readers. If they used it in the column, they'd give the contributor $5. They put together some books too. Learned a lot of useful things from reading it.

In case you're curious. I think you're the first person I ever knew that hadn't heard of Heloise.
