@AmandaonMaui, I make a homemade version of Larabars in my food processor. We love them!

Have you seen Larabars? They're just dates, fruit, and nuts. Nothing else. They do have a line of chocolate bars too, but the fruit ones are so good. I especially love the Banana Cookie ones. Mmmm.

[...] Replace "like with like". This is a common phrase you'll hear from me, because I believe that we make the transition to healthier choices easier when we find better alternatives that are similar to things we already like.

Thanks, Hadias. Interesting that you noticed a connection between less sugar and getting less headaches. Good for you! That granola recipe sounds good- I might have to look for it. I also make a granola recipe using sprouted buckwheat (which is a bit of an aquired taste, but I learned to love it), and honey, tahini, dried fruit, coconut, etc. So good!

You have some really great ideas already. One that I make is homemade granola (recipe from Hillbilly Housewife) made with peanut butter and honey. Delicious. I often add raisins or nuts and one day when I get my cravings under control I may throw in a few M&M's...maybe.

I also have a super sweet tooth for sugar especially milk chocolate and ice-cream. Now that I eat less sugar I suffer from less headaches.

Keep up the good work.
