Stevia Cookies
So today I attempted to make chocolate chip cookies with Stevia instead of sugar. I failed to read the back of the Stevia package where it says to cut the sugar in half when baking lol.

Sugary drink help!
I would be doing so much better if I could find a go to drink that is low sugar. I do drink water here and there but I am just not a huge fan. I used to really like those truvia flavor packs that you poured into your water but they got recalled for being cancer causing. I find that a simple glass of orange juice takes up…
