Recipe Notes

[My 2 Cents]
*A while ago I discovered at my local health food store a replacement for brown sugar. In an effort to remove all refined sugars from our pantry I thought – why not! I LOVE it! Here is the specific brand I used, you may have others at your health food store. In reading up on the product there seems to be a little controversy in the production of the sugar eliminating the growth of coconuts – but I think, for removing white refined sugar from my cooking – I’ll buy a bag every now and again. It’s a great alternative.
