    Coleslaw... sliced mushrooms with a sauce was the veggie..

    Sounds pretty tasty to me. Mine was a Trader Joe's crunchy slaw salad with chicken.

    Supper was chicken drums dry marinated and on the BBQ..
    A salad from our garden ... Using fresh veggies from the garden is the most flavourful salad of all..
    Frozen blueberries with a bit of splenda and heavy cream.. Let the frozen berries sit in the cream for a few minutes and they freeze the cream making blueberry ice cream...

    Sounds pretty good, I would NOT use splenda in my life, would substitute with stevia if I need something sweeter...I usually don't.

    We have been using splenda for the past 17 years or even more.. Perhaps 20 years.....

    I prefer sweetners without the chemicals. But MANY use them.

    Where I live, splenda or sweet & low are the only sweeteners available..
    Splenda is the better choice..
    As far as chemicals goes, I have never had a problem with splenda..
    What will it do to me?? Shorten my life... I am already old !!!! Pushing 80....
    Some sugar free foods are sweetened with aspartame....
    Stevia isn't invented yet up here...

    I never heard of Dreamfields.. We don't have that up here..
    Where did you buy it ???
    We have regular pasta and that's all..... We also have a whole wheat pasta ....
    Please remember where I live..... On top of lake Huron in Northern Ontario... I live in a small village of just under 1000 folks..
    Most of them are farmers or work in the lumber business..

    Today we are off to Sudbury to see the movie "Downton Abby"..
    After the movie, we will go to Wallmart to shop and I will most likely buy a BBQ chicken to take home and it will be our supper...
    A chicken is good for 2 meals each as I like the dark meat and my wife likes the breast..
    A coleslaw, which is fast and easy, will go well with it...
