oh, and I wanted to add that with this recipe I usually puree in some raw butter or coconut oil to make it more filling and to increase healthy fats for my children

Hi! I wanted to ask you what stevia you use. I currently order KAL from Myvitanet.com It's 3.5 oz for 15.97. Pure stevia.

I am a bit concerned about lit I've read about damage to DNA - what do you know about that? Of course, the damage to me from sugar is DEFINITE! I have 2 practitioners who have "scolded" me that I really need to be getting away from all sweeteners. Maybe they're right :-(.

Regarding the pressure cookers, I'd be happy to correspond w/ you about that. I have 3 and have used them for about 8 years. I'm loyal to one brand, but I'm sure others are good too. I use Kuhn Rikon. They CANNOT blow up and I've found customer svc to be really good. Thanks for the oil tip. I use coconut oil as my one son has a life threatening allergy to dairy (and probably has candida too). Oh, the life of us w/ sensitivities! If you're interested in corresponding, does everyone do it via the forum or can we email directly?? I'm really new and not sure about protocols.

you're welcome to email me off list- I do have a couple of favorite stevia brands- they are all so different!

thanks for the tip on the pressure cooker...one of these days I'll give in and splurge a bit
