I know to what you're thinking.... Those don't sound real healthy, Jen. And you're right, they don't sound healthy. But when I tell you about the secret ingredient and the substitutions, you may change your mind! ;) I have been reading healthy eating blogs and websites for over a year and a half now. I have seen a lot of different recipes and healthy trends and substitutions. I have tries some and found I really enjoy several! I love cauliflower crust pizza! I think zoodles are an amazing alternative to pasta. I'm still warming up to spaghetti squash, but I think I'll get there. Whole wheat pasta doesn't give me a second thought anymore. White bread tastes weird and dense now, and Stevia keeps my baked goods sweet but significantly lowers the calories. One thing I hadn't tried until today was Black Bean Brownies. You read that right. Black Beans. Like Thunder Cake (a story I read in First grade with a secret ingredient, tomatoes, in chocolate cake, the brownies I'm serving tomorrow have a secret. I haven't told Sis and Adam, and I don't think they frequent my blog, so I think the secret is safe. My Brownies have no flour and no sugar. They have black beans, cocoa powder, oats, sugar free maple syrup, agave nectar, chocolate chips, and peanut butter (and a handful of other little things). I know, they sound totally weird. But, having tried the batter before they cooked, I have to say, I think they're going to be pretty tasty! Sis and Adam will be the real test. I'll let you know how they go over. ;)
