        I don’t know whether you had me at peanut butter cookies or Michigan. I moved to Idaho from TC. The Great Lakes and the mountains have an equal pull on my heart but it’s not so peopley out here. 🙂 – Just found you on FB, Instagram and here. I’m following you on all of them. So far. So wonderful.

          Hahaha! Peanut Butter is my secret lover. Lol.

          I bet that was a big switch from TC to the mountains! I’m sure it is beautiful though!!

          Thank you for following me! I hope you find some fun out of this blog. If you have any suggestions or things you’d love to see, let me know!!

          Until then, lots of love from The Mitten!!

        I’m so happy to have found you! I do have a question about those DELICIOUS [looking] peanut butter cookies though. I just recently found out that I am diabetic and was wondering if you thought, or if you’ve tried, a sugar substitute. I have yet to bake with any substitute, but I have Splenda in the house and it does appear to be a 1:1 ratio….looking forward to reading more of your posts!

          Hi, Annie!

          I’m glad you are here, too!

          I have actually used Splenda in the place of regular sugar and the recipe turned out just fine.

          Do you have the baking Splenda or the packets?
