September 15, 2012 14 Comments
As the mother of a two-year-old, one of my more pressing concerns is making sure that I’m providing a relatively balanced and healthy diet for my family. It’s not always easy, what with all the preservatives and trans fats and high fructose corn syrup, but I try. Sweeteners are one of my biggest battles. It […]
