Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 I believe one packet is the same sweetness as 2 teaspoons sugar. The problem is that if something is using sugar partly as a volume agent, then the packets won't work and you'll need the loose splenda. If it's something like sweetening a whole pot of coffee or tea (I sometimes do this rather than do it by the cup) then it will work fine.

I wanted to make them again tonight but both stores here locally only have packets which I have some of. SO does anyone know if you can use the packets for that recipe? -- Sue Huls 214/177.5/175(mini goal)/160 3/9/01 Independent Party Consultant http://www.1800partyconsultant.com/50407/ all your party supply needs in one place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 1 cup equivalent = 24 packets, 1.5 cups equiv. = 36 If your recipe is depending on the sugar for bulk, you might have a problem with the substitution, as those packets will not come anywhere near a cup.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Diane, I couldn't find almond flour either so I just took almond slices and ground them in my little coffee grinder. Worked just fine. -- Sue Huls 214/177.5/175(mini goal)/160 3/9/01 Independent Party Consultant http://www.1800partyconsultant.com/50407/ all your party supply needs in one place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Sue, I don't know if you can use packets of Splenda or not. So if you want to make the brownies again, does that mean they turned out okay the first time? Jean 190/146/135 12/7/98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Di, I have never tried soy flour in the brownie cheesecake recipe, so I couldn't say if it would work or not. I ordered my almond flour on line at www.almondsonline.com and they came from somewhere in California, so it shouldn't take long for you to get it.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 The reason I ask is that I get sick when I drink sodas both regular and diet.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Maybe your innards and my innards have been web chatting late at night when we're sleeping. Maybe my ornery innards have been giving your innards lessons on how to be extra ornery. I can handle one 12 oz can of soda MAXIMUM about every other day. Beyond that, I'm toast. I can't take aspartame at all because of neurological complications. I avoid the full sugar ones because of diabetes. So, that leaves me with the Splenda ones if I want a soda pop at all. I can take one can and nurse it for the whole afternoon. And MAYBE, just maybe, my innards will be kind to me. It's almost become not worth it to me to have a soda pop. I do still like flavored seltzers, though. I buy those a lot. I can drink those with aplomb. So, it's not the carbonation that makes my innards ornery. It's something else. I'd suggest it may also be the caramel coloring that could bother you if it's the colas that bug you. But I don't think diet Sprite has any caramel color. I'm betting your innards have been taking lessons from my Ornery Innards. Sorry. I'll tell my ornery innards to stop giving advice or to at least charge for it so I can make a living. {:-) (Devil's horns) > > The reason I ask is that I get sick when I drink sodas both regular > and diet.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 FWIW, I've heard of quite a few people through various forums that complain of digestive upset of one type or another after ingesting Splenda.If the complaints however are specific to sodas with Splenda, there are some pretty harsh ingredients in the typical soda (like a variety of acids). The problem in this case may or may not be entirely Splenda. Dee (who can't take Splenda either) Maybe your innards and my innards have been web chatting late at night when we're sleeping.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Esther, I can always count on you to crack me up! But my own tummy pain has gone away in the last couple weeks—I’ve eliminated both coffee and Splenda. HHMmmmm, I say to myself. I really hope it’s the Splenda, because I do love a cup of coffee. Anyway, this is why I was glad to see the post about the Stevia sweetened instant tea. Stevia has never seemed to bother my stomach and I do like it. I like the flavored sparkling water also, and prefer to hydrate with that to dehydrating with any soda. Laurie lbilyeu@...
