Banana bread

I forgot to mention that I made some more of [livejournal.com profile] vaneramos's recipe for banana bread this holiday season: three loaves that went to work and to church, and one loaf at my folks' place in Cincinnati. I've been making the simple substitution of Splenda for sugar, since my dad is diabetic and, although I'm not as of yet, my doctor advises me to avoid sweets so I don't become diabetic.

It's been going over really well, and the loaf I made for my folks turned out the best of the ones I've done so far.

Thanks Van!

I'm curious, Scott's grandmother is diabetic and she said that she can't have Splenda because it contains sugar. I was going to back some cookies with splenda but she told me that equal was better for diabetics. What's your take on this?

Found this info on the splenda.com website. Hope it helps.

Here's another tip...
