          Here's a recipe out of Dana Carpenders cook book-

          ITALIAN VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

          1/3 cup vinegar
          2 cloves garlic, crushed
          1/2 tsp. oregano
          1/4 tsp. basil
          1 or 2 drops tobasco
          2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
          Put all the ingrediants in a container with tight fitting lid, and shake well.
          Yield: 12 servings, each with 1 gram of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and a trace of protein.

          __________________

            You can do this! I drink herb tea too. I thought I could never do without my sweetner in it, but you know what? After a couple times without it, you don't miss it so much and then you don't miss it at all. You actually start tasting the natural sweetness in everything. Our tastebuds go through a healing process as well, when stopping sweetners. Pretty cool!. Try doing that this week for a test run. Just a thought. I do appreciate your interest in the challenge. I look forwrd to you peeking in.

              The recipe calls for red wine vinegar.


              Vinegar-
              A vinagrette dressing (1 Tbls. of vinegar and 2 tsp. of oil) with your salad can lower the blood glucose response to the whole meal by up to 30 percent. The best types of vinegars for this purpose are red- or white-wine vinegar, or use lemon juice.

                Sherrie,
                I've been having my tea with whipped cream, (in the can from trader joes) well, dummie me, I just checked the ingredients... sugar! argh! so giving that up! not sure if I can actually! this is going to be so hard I think! There is hidden sugars everywhere! no wonder I'm such an addict! no, I'll give it up... at least for this month. I'm sure that's one of the reasons why I'm stalling... hopefully that will help with the cravings.

                  Hi Sherri,

                  I'm in! Thanks for hosting

                  I haven't been having sweetners for about a month or more, but I have cheated and had sugar in that time, so this will be a good challenge for me.

                    Hello Liz,
                    Yes, this challenge will make us more aware of the hidden sugars that are lurking. Once we discover them and quit them. You will soon enjoy the benifits of not craving them.
