Love the over night monkey bread recipe but I live in New Zealand and can not get frozen bread dough. Any simple dough recipe I can substitute that with. Many thanks
Regarding jam without sugar; I have read that folks are using chia seeds. This helps to bind without using sugar. Google “making jam with chia seeds.” or “making jam without sugar” There is also a on-line place to purchase a products that allows jam to be making using their product without sugar. I just don’t have that info. at hand but hope it can be fond on-line.
I am a diabetic, and still love my blackberry jam. Of course all sugar, honey ect are forbidden so i have been using stevia. It works for me. I am wondering if stevia could be a substitute for the honey. This would reduce the volume of the receipt, but i guess that would not make a difference, or would it?
Thank you so much for sharing all of your experience. I’m just starting to follow your lead on a smaller scale and I can’t tell you have much I appreciate your information. All of it!
My husband and I have been diabetic for years. No foods are forbidden. Fats and calories balanced against activity are the key to controlling diabetes. My husband chooses to not use white sugar. Says he feels better but I use it and honey in moderation. Would like 30 go to recipes that are gluten free
