Related: About this forumMy neighbor made Nutter Butter banana trifle
and brought some to me. Oh my, it is so good. I haven't been making or eating things like this, but every bite is worth the carb count.

(16,898 posts)I think she used pudding, bananas, Nutter Butter cookies, creamy peanut butter, and lots of Cool Whip

(16,898 posts)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

(57,073 posts)I do love bakery but I'm supposed to be doing very low fat, carbs & sugar. What's left?

(16,898 posts)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.

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.

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

(16,898 posts)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.
