2. I’ve been dying to eat onion rings (baked) lately, but haven’t found a sugar free recipe. Have you done one? Or are you open to coming up with one?

   • Haven’t done one, but probably wouldn’t since my kids wouldn’t touch them LOL!

4. Here are some Baked Onion Ring Recipes. I don’t know where I got them and have never tried any of them.
   BAKED ONION RINGS
   2 egg whites
   1/2 tsp. salt
   1/8 tsp. pepper
   1/2 lg. sweet yellow onion, cut into rings
   1/3 c. dry bread crumbs

   Combine egg white, salt and pepper in bowl; mix well. Dip onion rings into egg mixture. Coat with bread crumbs. Place in single layer on baking sheet. Bake 450 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
   Approximately 4 servings.

   BAKED ONION RINGS
   4 lg. onions, cut into rings
   1 1/2 c. fine dry bread crumbs (whole wheat, if possible)
   1/2 to 3/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
   1 egg

   Slice the onions about 1/4 inch thick, separate them into rings and soak in a small bowl of cold, salted water for about 30 minutes; then drain and dry them on paper towels.
   Combine the bread crumbs and poultry seasoning in a dish. In a second dish, mix the egg with 1 tablespoon of cold water and beat well. Dip the onion rings in the prepared crumbs, then in the egg and then again in the crumbs. Arrange them on a greased baking dish; cover with foil and bake in a hot oven (400°F) for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue baking about 20 minutes more or until they are crispy; serve immediately.

   Butter
   Chopped parsley

   Baked Onion Rings
   The only change I would make would be to use a smaller onion because I found if it is too large the rings are harder to coat with bread crumbs. They still turned out fantastic though! At just 74 calories and 0.6 grams of fat for half a batch of onion rings, they really are too good to be true! Make them for your next party and they are sure to be a hit!

6. Do you make home made sugar free jams?

   • I have not.

     • I have made homemade sugar-free and low-sugar jams in the past. The texture is extremely soft and turns me off. It tastes OK, but feels slimy to me. I do not know how they compare to store-bought low- or sugar-free jams. I make all the jams we use and have for years, so I haven’t bought more than a couple of jars from a store in a very long time.
