  1. Hi Christine, I love your recipes my name is also Christine, but I go by Chris.
    I have given up sugar for Truvia. . I used to be a size 16 when I gave up my Coke Cola, sugar and junk food. I am now a size 4.
    But whenever I eat sugar my face breaks out. And I am 67 years old & the last thing I need is zits. I have had to also give up all forms of corn, as it makes my arthritis hurt more. And my nutritionist also told me to give up on wheat. This is okay with me.
    I especially love your French Bread as nit is the only bread I eat.

    1. Hi Chris!

      Glad you enjoy my recipes and the French bread 🙂

      I can relate to the sugar - I try to limit my intake when possible. Truvia is great - Swerve is also one of my go-to's!

      ~Christine
