Welcome to CremeMagnolia, the best resource for Women Business Entrepreneurs.

Erika, making sweets that have to be cooked/baked with Stevia requires changes with some ingredients. I make delicious pies but cakes don’t work well for me…but, I’m not a sweet maker/eater to a large degree, so haven’t put much effort into practice. Stevia is wonderful in iced tea, lemonade, etc. I use about 1/4 to [...]

Bea & MaryAnne – thanks so much for sharing the information about Stevia. Can I easily substitute Stevia for sugar in recipes, or do my recipes need to change? I love sweets, and I have MS – the two do not go hand in hand. If using Stevia allows me to have my sweets without [...]

Spring is in full swing at Sage Hill…gardens are all planted and some things are already breaking ground. Now…I can start working on my “chicken” project…I’ll post pictures when it’s finished. I’m excited…I adore chickens. I grew up on a farm and my papa raised baby chicks to broiler stage for the Marshall-Durbin company…I remember [...]

Hi Kat,

I never got your addy for the Stevia..if you still want it.

Stop in at the WIN network and send it to me through a PM.

Thanks

Bea

~ Cucumbers are one of the super foods, I’ve been known to have them with my scrambled eggs at breakfast~ I eat them daily when in season… They have been cultivated for at least 3,000 years. The Romans loved them and in Egypt they were popular both as food and medicine, Because they are 90% [...]

Karen, I must confess…I love my home and right now everything is so geen and beautiful and the edibles sooo good !

OMG Bea, I feel like driving to Tenn today! I can’t wait to see the recipes on your site.

Hi Karen, Last year when my fall/winter garden was no longer producing, I covered all the greens with straw and left them to overwinter. They are back and beautiful. Today I harvested collards, kale, and Swiss chard. Chives are ready to begin cutting, as is the parsley. Tomorrow I will make parsley/chive butter and along [...]

Karen, I so appreciate the week of discussion ad participation, and yes, I will continue to share, it’s looking like a very interesting season~ Good for you on rethinking your food choices. We are all creatures of habit, and once we make a new one and become comfortable with it….fits like a well worn glove. [...]

Bea, thank you for being a wonderful hostess this week. I can actually say that in this week I have gone from junk food junkie to really thinking about what I put into my body! Thank everyone for participating – and since the garden is just getting going, I really hope you will keep it [...]

Bea thank you for this marvelous discussion!!

Good advice Bea And remember Karen to look for the cold pressed Olive Oil.

Karen, you can relax…olive oil and real butter are among the healthy foods. I only use real butter, takes very little and compared to the bad stuff in the alteratives it’s a really good thing. The only thing to be aware of with olive oil is high heat, after a certain temp it will turn [...]

Bea, I love basil – it seems to be the only herb I have ever had any success using to season foods. Last year I was give some fresh from a friend with a garden and they shared with me. I didn’t have as much success with the fresh as with the dried. I like [...]

Gee, this was a fast moving week, both on this network and in my local activity. I have totally enjoyed our banter here in this group all week. Your participation is so appreciated, couldn’t have pulled it off otherwise~ I hope I have offered at least one small bit of info that you can at [...]
