<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I'm just wondering why some of your recipes call for Splenda and regular 
<br>brown sugar, instead of just calling for Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. What 
<br>gives?
<br>
<br>Perplexed in Peoria  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Perplexed,
<br>
<br>This question gets asked A LOT. The truth is, lots of HG recipes call for 
<br>Splenda (granulated), but we don't use brown sugar in recipes very often. So 
<br>rather than tell everyone to go out and buy Splenda Brown Sugar Blend 
<br>(which is a little pricey), HG recipes tend to call for a little brown sugar 
<br>(cheaper) and a little Splenda (which you probably already have at home). 
<br>Splenda Brown Sugar Blend is merely a mix of Splenda and brown sugar. 
<br>Since many of you already buy boxes of Splenda for other recipes, calling 
<br>for regular brown sugar and regular Splenda is a way to save you a little 
<br>money. That's all -- nothing sneaky or weird -- just watching out for you. 
<br>Maybe I should have made up something more interesting?! BTW, click here 
<br>to see all of our recipes that contain brown sugar. Yum...

<br>Dear HG,
<br>
<br>I love to shop at Ikea and sometimes can't resist the Swedish meatballs. Do 
<br>you have any idea how many calories those things have?
<br>

<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear MM,
<br>
<br>WOW... I can't tell you how many times I've shopped at Ikea and been 
<br>tempted by those crazy little meatballs (and of course those ridiculous-
<br>smelling cinnamon buns!). Six of the Swedish meatballs clock in at 210 
<br>calories and 13g fat (POINTS&reg; value 5*). But an order contains FIFTEEN 
<br>meatballs! The lingonberry sauce that comes with the meatballs and the 
<br>cream sauce that comes over them aren't too bad -- a tbsp. of each has 
<br>about 30 - 35 calories and 0 - 1.5g fat. But those potatoes on the plate add a 
<br>lot more calories. BTW, the cinnamon buns have 400 calories and 14g fat 
<br>each (POINTS&reg; value 9*). Eeeks. You may be better off following those 
<br>arrows throughout the showroom and skipping the cafeteria altogether. And 
<br>if you must eat something while you're there, snack on one of the vanilla 
<br>frozen yogurt cones. (Word is, those are fat-free with just 100 calories each.) 
<br>LOVE that fro yo. Or pack your own snacks if you plan to be there for a 
<br>while. (You may wanna bring snacks even if you DON'T plan on staying for 
<br>much time -- I always wind up there for longer than expected.) Ooh, and 
<br>check out this great little chart of nutritionals put together by Ikea fans -- 
<br>unofficial, but pretty cool! Happy shopping... and chewing!
