Those of you that faithfully read my blog might wonder why I decided to write about SPLENDA®, given the fact that…well…I don’t often use sugar substitutes in my cooking.

Those of you that faithfully read my blog might wonder why I decided to write about SPLENDA®, given the fact that…well…I don’t often use sugar substitutes in my cooking.
Here’s the deal. Ninety-five percent of the time I cook with real sugar. But the reality is, I have a number of family members on my husband’s side that are living with diabetes. Since they can’t eat real sugar, and I can’t always come up with sugarless dessert recipes, I discovered the world of baking with SPLENDA®, and I’ve grown to love it when I’m cooking for them.
Now SPLENDA® has come up with a new line of products that are enhanced — one with B vitamins, one with fiber, and one with antioxidents. SPLENDA® sent me a few packages about a week ago to try out, and so I decided to bake a pie for an upcoming family gathering; a blueberry peach pie recipe that I’ve baked many times with real sugar.
This time, however, I used SPLENDA® ESSENTIALSTM with fiber in place of sugar. Benefits? Each serving of SPLENDA® ESSENTIALSTM with Fiber has the same sweet taste of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener with the added benefit of one gram of healthy fiber.
The result? Fabulous.
So, drumroll…. Guess what?

SPLENDA® compensated me for participation in this campaign. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I use splenda regularly — both in beverages (coffee, tea, koolaid)and in baking (I, too, am often charged with making diabetic-friendly desserts). I now regularly use at least some splenda in all of my baking. LOVE it.
I like Splenda more than I like regular sugar. Call me crazy…
I love Splenda! I use it to bake and for my coffee. My dad is diabetic so I had to learn how to bake for him and not worry about affecting his health. Spenda lets me do that.
My day doesn’t really start until I’ve had a cup ‘o coffee with a sprinkle of splenda! This would be a great opportunity to try baking with it!!
Every morning, two packets of Splenda top my Raisin Bran to liven it up!
I use Splenda in my coffee and in my iced tea! I follow Splenda on Facebook!
I use splenda in my baking and tea
