Very smart. I really like what you did here. And you could always use whole-grain pasta for extra nutrition.

YUM. Of course, you’re kind of cheating using a croissant! I’d eat anything on a croissant!!!

This looks very good. Yet I’ve never been terribly fond of black-eyed peas. Poo. Maybe I should give them another go at it!

Nice soup. I’ve never tried frozen onions, but then I’m retired, and have plenty of time to chop onions! I do love canned beans, however, and love playing with them. The cartons of pre-washed spinach are so handy these days!

In reply to Rachel. It’s so crazy to me how much sugar is in EVERYTHING! So eye-opening to really pay attention to ingredients. I think my palate did change more than I thought it did. I had a Coke today and it was a lot sweeter to me. I’m glad I did the challenge!

In reply to Amber. I didn't even think about it that way! I did discover that I love honey in my tea so much more than sugar, so that was a nice find.

Hi Leah. I did #poysugarfreejanuary too, but I kept honey, maple syrup, and stevia in the mix. I also kept a few dried fruits, like dates, because they are rich in fiber and so naturally sweet that I can’t really eat too many of them at once.

I got so angry when I bought some bags of dried strawberries online that were advertised as “no refined sugar”, only to find out that they were soaked in concentrated apple juice – a.k.a., sugar. I’ve changed my thinking on dried fruit. It’s now a very occasional indulgence, and usually added to something like oatmeal or overnight oats.

This challenge seriously recalibrated my palate, and I’m so glad I did it!
