I tried your Pumpkin Loaves with Currants recipe and really enjoyed it. I made a topping to serve along with it which consisted of 8 oz. of Cream Cheese, a few heaping tablespoon fulls of Pumpkin Puree, Agave Nectar to taste and some Cinnamon. I whipped that all up together until it was light and creamy and it was very delicious served on top of a slice of the Pumpkin Bread. Thank you, Amy, for the wonderful recipes you share with all of us…Ann

I’m so glad I just found your blog. I’m cutting out sugar in my diet as part of my new years resolution. Actually, it’s more than a resolution, it’s a commitment to a lifestyle change. Now I have so great recipes to try out.

So glad to have found your blog. I have to cut out a little more than gluten and sugar for the next few months, but I’m hoping I can either find recipes on your site that will work or be adaptable. They look so delicious!
I do have a question. When a recipe calls for powdered sugar, is there an adequate substitute for this?

@Rebekah, There is a substitute for everything – you just have to be creative and stop wanting your food to be just like it used to be. I am still learning this very important lesson!
It depends on what you’re making – I haven’t found a ’sugar free powdered sugar’ that will do what powdered sugar does, but I have been able to successfully work around it. It just depends on the dish and what I want to achieve.

@Amy,
For “powdered sugar” Put a cup of sucanat into a blender and blend until a powder forms. Use like powdered sugar.
