No you're not mistaken, these are indeed little individual cheesecakes, or as I like to call them, heaven in a muffin wrapper.
And would you believe me if I said there was no fructose in sight?!

This dish takes as much time as it does to cook the pasta, and in the end you have a tangy, creamy and decadent bowl of yummy goodness in front of you.
Seriously, why would I eat take-out???

This soup makes me smile.
I could eat it all day every day. And the good news is, there's no strict recipe to follow - use any green vegetable you have in your crisper. The perfect recipe to use up all those little left over pieces that have perhaps seen better days.

Do you want to know what realisation is the most amazing that I've had since cutting out fructose from my diet? I feel like I'm actually in full control of my life! It seems a little strange to write that, as I would normally consider myself to be an independent and confident person.
It's just that I'm not consumed by constant thoughts of chocolates, lollies and cakes.
It's amazing how freeing that feeling is, and it's only just hit me.

Where does she find the time?!
If you've been reading my blog you'll know that I've said au revoir to sugar recently. Luckily, I'd already chosen a yummy savoury dish that had no sugar in sight, (yes, very unlike me) from Jenna's vast supply of recipes.
I've tweaked it a little for my own taste buds.....

It's now officially week 2 of my I Quit Sugar
fructose experiment and I'm feeling so good.
I no longer feel bloated or puffy and the skin on my face is so soft and smooth. I've lost 2kg too which is a HUGE bonus!
I haven't had a problem with cravings either (yet), apart from when a bag of lollies was handed around at work last week - my hand almost had a mind of its own - amazing how that happens, isn't it!
And as you can see, I'm still eating like a Queen.........

I was around 13 years old having dinner with my sister-in-law and my 2 nephews. The boys were refusing to eat their pumpkin. I was on their side as I too wasn't a fan of the orange veg back then.
My sister-in-law, in all her loving wisdom, decided to tell the boys how much Auntie Leigh LOVED her pumpkin and watch how she can eat all of it.
I think know I gave her the death stare.
It didn't work.

My mum loves Pea and Ham Soup.
The Campbell's tinned variety.
We grew up with this soup simmering away on the stove top making the house smell a little...how should I put it.....icky! Needless to say, I never touched the stuff!
Home-made Pea and Ham Soup on the other hand...now that's a whole other story.....
