Re-posting Recipes

Just a quick note: Please feel free to post my recipes and even my photos on your blog or Pinterest or anywhere else as long as you LINK BACK TO ME.

I have had a handful of people courteous enough to ask me this question before they post.  There have also been numerous people that have posted my recipes (or their re-creations of) but DO LINK BACK.

Recently I have come across a few blogs that are claiming my recipes as their own, some even using my photos.  This is alarming to me as I would never walk into your classroom, erase your name and write mine on a report.

I don't mind sharing and I find it flattering that any of you would want to share my recipes and/or photos on your pages.  I only mind when my work is being represented as someone elses.

Long story short:  Please feel free to post my work, just let people know that it's my work!  Thanks!

How to measure stick butter

Measure butter stick

If you are anything like me, you probably went from a margarine tub (maybe even Light Margarine) to suddenly using stick butter when you started your Low Carb lifestyle.  All of these recipes keep saying "2 TBSP of butter" and you just kind of guess how much that is, or you keep the wrapper on your butter and cut through it each time.  This way is a lot more attractive in your butter dish and much easier and no fuss.  BEFORE you take the wrapper off, score each of the Tablespoon (TBSP) lines with the back, dull side of a butter knife.  Just press straight down with the dull side of a knife at each TBSP line, hard enough to mark the butter inside the wrapper.  Then when you take the wrapper off and put the stick in your butter dish, you still know exactly how much a Tablespoon is!  Just cut through the line to know that you cut exactly a 1 TBSP pat of butter!  Genius right?  Well not really but it does make life a tiny bit easier.  Happy buttering!

Dollar Tree No Carb Flavored Syrups

Sugar Free Flavored Syrups from Dollar Tree

Check out what I found at Dollar Tree!  It doesn't say Sugar Free on the front label but it's made with Sucralose (which Splenda is the name brand for), has 0 carbs, calories, fat, etc just like Torani and DaVinci.  My Dollar Tree only had Vanilla and Hazelnut so I picked up one bottle of each to try.  I've now taste tested both (as you can see, I couldn't wait to open the Hazelnut before getting a picture) and they are comparable to the name brands.  I'll be running back out to Dollar Tree this afternoon to pick up a few more $1 bottles of sugar free flavored syrups!
