Hi Michelle, soft wheat flour would be fine but the whole white flour sounds fishy to me. If the first ingredient say whole wheat then its fine but if it says enriched wheat it is just refined white flour.

I appreciate your help. LOVE your blog!

You’re welcome! I use honey but occasionally and sparingly. Stevia is mostly what I use day to day.

I will for sure, thanks again! : )

HI Amanda, thank so much for the kind words. I haven’t noticed a difference in any cravings if sugar is the fifth and I’ve been following this rule for years. I truly do not crave sugary foods or even desire them in the least. I really think the fifth ingredient is a very small enough amount that it shouldn’t bother you but as time goes on you may realize what you can have and what you need to avoid. Just avoid your trigger foods and you should do well! It’s true that you really can live a life free of refined sugar and not feel like you are missing out in the least. You’re family will love you for it. God bless and keep me posted!

Thanks so much for sharing your story! I’m happy you are here and joining me on this sugar free journey!

I commend you for trying to cut out all the sugar. Although you never ate cookies or muffins but once a month you probably didn’t even realize how much sugar you consumed in all other foods you ate. That craving is definitely showing you that you probably had much in your system and detoxing it by eliminating and reading food labels is the best thing to do. And OH YES, I had BIG time withdrawals and cravings. But I can say that you are through the worst of it if its been a month, it will get easier and eventually you won’t even want any of the sugar at all. But if you have given in during this month, unfortunately those cravings will just come back stronger and it will be like having to begin again to detox. Stick with it, you are almost through it!

Kathleen I have had some really sweet comments BUT yours is by FAR the biggest, sweetest, nicest compliment I have ever received! I so want to help others and encourage people. I am so happy that I, my blog/recipes do come across as being simple and doable in busy lives. Really appreciate you taking the time to encourage ME! Blessings to you!

I know where you’re coming from Becca because my hubby is not sugar free either. He is supportive but not where I am as far as sugar is concerned. But it doesn’t have to stop you from doing what you need to do. You can experiment with his favorites muffins, etc and show him they still can taste great without all the sugar.

You’re so welcome 🙂
