Brian's family only uses Splenda. And I can't stand the stuff.
But kindly, Brian's mother, Ann, always has a little real sugar for me when we visit.
I thought I'd make her two personalized glass containers to differentiate between the two.
The letters "Ann's Splenda" and "Ann's Sugar" were made with etching cream and my new nifty machine:)
Like not spending money?

bleh! splenda is disgusting! it leaves the weirdest after taste in my mouth...and it tastes nothing like sugar...those marketing people are crazy. i've heard there is chlorine in splenda...its made with the same chemical compounds as bleach? ew! there are far better sweeteners out there...my fiance's mother is diabetic and she just turned us on to trehalose...ever heard of it? it works just like sugar and even tastes like sugar...awesome for tea (or coffee) but i didn't have much luck with it in baking. check it out!
very cool! and a great idea :)
Neither. We try our best to avoid chemicals and over-processed foods. We use stevia leaves when steeping our tea leaves. We use raw local honey and fruit to sweeten our steel-cut oats. We make sweet curry with coconut cream, which contains sugar, so we don't do that very often.
Splenda... BAD! There is chlorine added to it, don't use it! Stevia is much healthier, but I prefer plain old sugar too!
Cricut! I want thee!
One time I thought that I would trust their commercial that said that you could try splenda in anything that you would use real sugar in...well tried in chocolate chip cookies and gave me stomach problems for days. I then thought that it might have beem something else so i gave it another try. This time I bought the splenda blend that was half real sugar and half splenda, same result. I guess my body is not made to digest these substitutes.
You've got a great mother in law that would go the extra length just for you!
Very nice! I can't stand the stuff either.
Oh! I bet you used a Silhouette cut the vinyl for that! I love what you did! So cute & such a nice MIL.
I don't know what splenda is...maybe some kindof of sugar substitute right?!
But i think..no..i know that's done using the silhouette!
Give them Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food." Splenda is gross and weird and fake and fake stuff needs to be out of your diet (most of the time, there's always space for the once a year state fair food).
Of course, I lent to book to my mother in law and she still uses Splenda and buys sugar-free, fat-free ice cream. Sigh, maybe it could work for you better.
I'm a sugar kind of girl and I would love to win a Silhouette machine!!
I love this look. The Sihouette machine looks very neat. :)
how adorable!
Is splenda even "real" food? I am a real sugar girl through and through!
My mind is totally abuzz about all the ways I can use this thing!
Love the jars!
Love those jars. Would love that machine...
I can't stand splenda either, it just tastes like aspertane to me. I love this etched glass look though, it would be great fun for labeling the glass jars we use as kitchen canisters.
The machine is so versatile, I am in love!
I have three mirrors I've been wanting to etch for years now....this would be SO perfect. :)
Sigh. I'm in love. Must start to save up.
Sugar!!! What about Stevia? I have a lot of things to use that machine on! thanks!
Cute! I actually don't mind Splenda in some things :)
I love love etching creme! Too cute!
We use sugar at our house, but I have to have some when my parents come to visit...
I would love to win a silhouette so I can do glass etching too! :o)
I;ve never tried glass etching-but what a great idea! I think I'll have to try it.
Gimme good 'ole sugar any day!
Nice glass etching ;)
That is super cute idea....and to use the awesome Silhouette! What a great idea!!
