00:00 You're listening to A Tiny Homestead, the podcast comprised entirely of conversations with homesteaders, cottage food producers, and crafters. I'm your host, Mary Lewis. Good morning, Ms. Lynn Bowman. How are you?  Well, like you.  I'm ready to roll, but  prepared for all kinds of crazy stuff today. How about you, Mary? It's already been crazy stuff. Lynn and I have been trying to get Zoom to work for last 10 minutes. We are not technically broken.

00:29 but you would think we didn't know anything about technology.  Well,  to me, it's always the fault of the UX engineers. Always. It's not my fault. We'll blame it on them.  Okay. So  today I am talking with Lynn Bowman  and she is the author of Brownies for Breakfast. And the reason I wanted to talk to Lynn  is because my kids used to get brownies for breakfast two days after their birthdays. I made them brownies for their birthdays.

00:59 A swell way to celebrate.  my brownies are as brownie as brownie gets.  Difference is, Mary, they are made with no sugar.  They are made with pumpkin,  nut butter, cocoa,  let's see,  baking soda, eggs or egg substitute if you don't eat eggs,  and know, salt, couple other little things, cinnamon.

01:27 But it's all whole food, good food, real food.  And I guarantee when you set them down in front of people, they will look exactly like a quote, real brownie because they are real.  Then what happens is somebody eats them and they go, oh my gosh, that's the best brownie I ever ate. is a,  just don't ever tell them there's no sugar in them.  Because when you do that, they go, oh, no thanks.  Right?

01:58 Yeah.  But there is  something called Alulose in them. Terrible name, terrible name,  wonderful product. It's real food. It's one ingredient.  Uh, it doesn't give you tummy ache. It doesn't leave a funny aftertaste.  And that's what I want everybody to know about. There is a way you can quit sugar because yes, you need to, you know, you need to.

02:25 You can quit sugar  if you  have a couple of tools like one, Alulose. You will never miss sugar if you have it.  have to look this Alulose up because I listened to your interview with Amy Fagan on Grown It in Maine and you mentioned it on her podcast too.  I meant to look up Alulose yesterday. I got busy and didn't do it. So shame on me. Shame on you. You did not do your homework, girl. I didn't.

02:53 It was terrible. I'm sorry.  But you know what?  And I know I sound a little crazy granny here because yes, I am.  having  spent most of my life,  nearly all of my adult life trying to stay healthy and on my feet and may I say succeeding,  I know some stuff about how to eat  really well if you're diabetic, if you're trying to avoid chronic disease.

03:22 If you don't want to carry around extra weight, all the things, if you don't want to have heart disease, if you do have heart disease, all the things are really not complicated to deal with if you know a few things about how to eat. Really easy. You probably already know, but ar
