momaloti I am with you...I get major cravings for the salty items. Have always been that way for some reason. I try to keep a bag of salted in-the-shell peanuts for those quick salty snacks. I very rarely have the cravings for sweets. The only times that I do is...

When you cook and if the recipe calls for sugar, what do you normally use? Do you use regular sugar, turbinado sugar, artificial sweetener like Equal or something like Splenda?

momaloti I do use splenda in tea & coffee, as well as to sweeten my HM yogurt. But for regular cooking/baking I have always just used regular sugar...mainly because it is just cheaper. I have been wanting to try baking something using Splenda but have been reluctant...

momaloti In lots of things I just replace 1/2 of the ground beef with the ground turkey, like meatloaf or taco filling. Chili's are very good using ground turkey. I don't really use special recipes, just use my regular ground beef ones but cook with the turkey...
