Unfortunatley, I can't use the Splenda during Pesach and it is a real pain
as the only KLP sweetener available is a saccharine "Sweet and Low, which
I do use mixed with cinnamon in plac eof jam or a sweetener for my once a
year fried matzo. I also do uas it with my very light matzo meal pancakes
which we also have once dueing the holiday.

Manaschevits(sp?) is now making soem reduced sugar cocoanut macaroons. I
stumbled upon them and have tried them. Not as good as the real things,
but ok and at 4 carbs for 1 small cookie they are ok if not pigged out on.
I also found a sugar free marble cake (Schick's) made with potato starch,
as it has no matzo meal in it that I bought for the second seder when
there will be 3 diabetics in attendence. It may well be absolutely
dreadful, but I shall see and have a regular Pesach cake for the
non-diabetics to enjoy.

For sedarim I have no problem as I do lots of roasted vegetables with
olive oil and balsamic vinegar sprinkled on when done. We have lots of
fresh berries for dessert along with the macaroons,, etc, which I can
largely skip.

My breakfasts are easy as I just continue to eat my cottage cheese, fruit
and yougurt breakfast most days and I use the fancy, carby dishes like
fried matzo or the aforementioned pancakes, as lunch or dinner.

I once had a lovely recipe for meringues that I got from Jennifer, bu tit
got lost during a change of computers and loss of recipe files. It used
splenda andworked well, but , for me would not work as a Pesach sweet.

If any of you (or Jennifer) has that recipe, I would love to see it posted
so I could make it once again.
