I'm new to your blog, and love it! I gave up refined sugar (with a few small exceptions) in October, and feel SO much better! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on sugar substitutes. I have a questions--where do you do the bulk of your grocery shopping? I am trying to balance this new healthy lifestyle with frugality, and being that we have 5 young children, I need some advice!

One of the many Spanish names for it is piloncillo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panela Winco carries piloncillo regularly in their bulk bins for a very affordable price-- I never knew what in the world it was, it just looked strange to me! :-) What do you know about this? Would this be a good choice for an unrefined sweetener? Thanks! Sharon Kimi,

I am caught a bit between a rock and a hard place, because my dear husband is not all that concerned about eating healthy. He doesn't like the taste of honey-sweetened desserts. So I'm hoping that the Rapadura will help with this. I would like to change over our diet without a big change in taste. Do you have any recommendations for me? Thank you so much for this post!
