I know about agave. Mercola ran a huge post on how it's probably worse than plain sugar. But there's something in me that just CAN'T use sugar. I feel like I have to look over my shoulder. Don't like Stevia, don't trust Truvia. Mercola likes xylitol. How about honey? I know the carbs are the same but at least there are some benefits.

I have not used sugar or any of those substitutes for a few years, don't like the taste of stevia. What I use is organic coconut sugar. It tastes exactly like sugar, no coconut taste and is brown in color and you can buy it in 1 lb. bags in most health food stores. I usually buy mine from Swansons Vitamins but the last time I was in Home Goods, they had it and bought a few bags. It's great in pumpkin pies!

I will try the pumpkin! I have made the ""impossible pie"" recipe for years now in various forms; DH likes cheeseburger the best but also the coconut....I use Carbquick instead of Bisquick....it has almost no carbs in it so it helps a lot. Can buy it online only; not sold around here.
