Saying No to Temptation!

If you are like me, those bunny eggs filled with sweet goo are a favorite this time of year.  It was so bad for me today, I could smell how sweet they were today in the store.  I resisted temptation and said no, I do not need those.  But, man how I wanted them.  Sorry to say, no recipe for those on here.  I wish there were a sugar free version available because I would have them.  Oh yes!  I would! 

I might have to go peruse the chocolate candy aisle at the store and see if there is a sugar free chocolate rabbit or if I have to just break down and have a sugared up version of one.  I really do not want to break my diet for a silly chocolate bunny! 

Today I had a taste of a Coke with full sugar and do you know, after not having one for 2 years, it was completely awful!  I have no idea how I even drank the things.  Ugh!  It was caustically sweet.  I will stick to my plain tea, no sugar.  It tastes good to me. 

If I need a little sweet, I put some xylitol in my drinks.  It doesn't upset my tummy and it doesn't give a sugar spike or the low.  I use it as my sugar substitute and I have had people who aren't diabetics tell me that it tastes like sugar.  The pumpkin bars on here are some of the ones I have shared with non diabetics and they loved them. 

Last night's recipe of the steak with salsa turned out really well and it wasn't hot for me.  Hubby loved it!  He said it was tasty and it made it's own juice so, nothing other than the salsa was added.  I was hoping we had some guajillo salsa but, sadly we didn't.  I will have to buy more.  I love how garlicky it is and smoky.  That would have imparted a nice flavor into the meat.
