Sadly, Christmas cookies are not in the cards for me this Christmas, unless it's just to bake and give away. I do miss sugar. But my body doesn't.

On the other hand, as a vegetarian, I'd rather the animal not die for human consumption at all. And from an American standpoint (read someone who barely knows what's in the food they eat) just <i>ew</i>.

Not that O.U. has anything to do with local really, I just added that stipulation myself.<br />Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765393759306277549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733407502833428125.post-66939923925773529412012-10-02T08:13:18.152-07:002012-10-02T08:13:18.152-07:00LOVE this post, Brooke!

Maple syrup is my favorite sweetener, followed closely by honey (although your horse just echoed my thoughts...). Sigh! Definitely a conundrum. Hannahhttp://www.bluekaleroad.comnoreply@blogger.com
