Ice Cream!

So I bought myself an ice cream maker – a pretty nice one that was on sale on Amazon.  So this weekend I’m experimenting with low-carb recipes by trying different combinations of sweeteners etc.  I love sweets – as I think most recovering alcoholics do. They can be my downfall on any attempt to be healthy.  Low carbing is the only way I stay within some reasonable boundaries.  I also try to stick with foods created by nature (not a massive food factory).  Ever wonder why an apple sometimes costs more than a candy bar?  Weird.

There’s this sweetener that’s popular in Japan that’s not supposed to have all the issues that go with Aspartame, Splenda, and sugar alcohols (not to be confused with alcohol alcohol).   It supposedly just goes right through you (sorry for the picture that might have created for you) in the same state you ate it.

Anyway, I will report back on the flavors that won.  Strawberry will be my first experiment!  Mmmm. Strawberry ice cream.
