It stayed poudery on top, and didn’t brown. All the liquid evaporated and was absorbed into the topping( didn’t surprise me). Was it supposed to brown on top? Mine didn’t?
Hi, debcargo. It doesn’t have to brown. As long as it tastes good, you did it correctly. 🙂
I am diabetic is using sugar in the recipes okay?
Hi, Nana. If you use small amounts of whole or raw sugar (also known as “demerara”), such as in this recipe, that’s fine.
What about using Agave sweetener in some of these recipes, I have found it bakes better.
Hi, pawpatty. We don’t generally encourage agave, as it is hard on your system. However, use in a once-in-a-while treat is fine.
I did not lose any weigh and I gained two pounds.After a whole week menu that you sent me.What is wrong?
Hi, Judy. If you have been on restrictive weight loss diets in the past, your metabolism has likely slowed, and it may take your body time to get used to normal amounts of food again. The best way to jumpstart your metabolism is through exercise. If you have any limitations, please do let me know, and definitely consult with your health care practitioner.
If you have been exercising, then making a change to the regime every 3 weeks is important – either in frequency, amount of time spent, muscle groups used, etc.; it also helps to add some bursts of high-intensity activity, for example, 30 seconds of jogging for every 5 minutes of a regular pace while out for a walk. If exercise is relatively new to your regime, then it will be important at the beginning to measure your progress by how you look and feel and how your clothes are fitting, rather than the scale, because muscle is heavier than fat and as you start to exchange them, your total weight will appear “stuck” at first.
Aside from that, it may suit your nutritional needs best if you use a goal weight as your current weight – for example, 118 lbs – to help things along.
