Hey there!  Did you ever get my first text last night?

Anyway, I'm guessing you're talking goodies of the SWEET variety, no?  I haven't started baking yet, and I won't be making MUCH with ME in mind, but if I do, I'll just substitue Splenda for the sugar.  Then I'll have something to distract me from the "normal" goodies!  (Hmmm.. I wonder if "sugar cookies" would be any good???)

It'll be good to see what kind of replies you get here, tho!!  I'd pay good money for a good WLS-friendly FUDGE recipe!

Weird, but NO I didnt get your text...even after you resended it??

Yea I am talking WLS friendly sweet goodies...hope I can get some good recipes :) 

If not like you said I will substitute the sugar with Splenda on the goodies I do bake, like you I probably wont be making much either, but I know the kids want to bake, so I need to do something, and would just be easier for me if they were WLS friendly...lol  because it's hard for me to stay away from the sweets...

No matter what you bake, remember that brown sugar has sugar in it.  Even if you get the splenda mix, it still has sugar in it.  So cookies may just be out. 

Also -- be sure you tell anyone pregnant that you used splenda -- many in our office do not eat anything with sugar substitute in it. 

I'm baking "normal" this year again.  I don't eat any -- just love to gift up boxes and give to family and friends.
