CHOCOLATE!

For those of you who follow my blogs, you know I love chocolate!  And being a diabetic for the past 5 years hasn't changed that one bit.  It warms my heart to know that my blog readers also love chocolate.  Recipes containing chocolate get many more hits on this blog than any other type.  So if you think I post too many chocolate recipes because that is what I like, you are wrong.  I post so many chocolate recipes because that is what my readers demand.  Way to go, readers!

INFO ON VANILLA

Have you ever wondered how to substitute one type of vanilla for another?  If so, here are the substitutions:

• 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste = 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 whole vanilla bean = 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

You can figure the other variations from there.
