Fruit Spread
If you’re missing a little sweet on your waffle or toast in the morning but you want to keep to your healthy eating plan think about making your own overripe fruit spread. Sugar free jam is not always sugar free. Check out the ingredients - you may be surprised. Try mashing overripe berries, then mixing them with cream cheese or margarine as a spread. No added sugar and not much trouble at all to fix. Just what I’m looking for…tastes great, too.
4 oz. cream cheese or 2 T. margarine, softened
¼ c. + berries, mashed
Combine thoroughly in a mixing bowl. Spread on whole wheat waffles, pancakes or toast and enjoy. It can be just that simple.
When I’m not treating my family to yet another experiment in eating, I’m sewing cotton batik pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads and www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads .
Or I’m riding shotgun on a family driving excursion and knitting scarves for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .
My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they sew and sell cotton pocket knickers in eye catching colors.
My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she hand makes and sells knitted striped afghans made from upcycled recycled yarn.
