An alternative for your standard granulated sugar

I have found a good alternative to brown/white sugar, it's called Sucanant. Sucanant stands for Sugar Cane Natural. A genuine whole sugar. Organic Sucanat is simply dehydrated, freshly squeezed sugar cane juice.


I paid $37.98 for 12, 16oz bags. That's about $0.20 an ounce. 

So if you're looking for a regular sugar alternative, this may be a good choice for you. Although it is still sugar. So it's supposed to be eaten in moderation. 

I found a pretty good price on it at Amazon- Organic Fair trade Sucanant.


I was able to order this for completely free thanks to Swagbucks. To read more about swagbucks go here- What is swagbucks?


Want an idea on what to make with it first? 
How about Heavenly Homemakers- Vanilla muffins with cinnamon crumb topping

Happy baking! 

New and improved!!

Hello and welcome to Healthy Living! I'm very excited to be starting this blog. I want to write about ways to be healthy and frugal at the same time. There are ways to do it! I'm hoping to post ways to save money and live healthy. Also idea's on how to be healthier in general. 

I'll tell you a little about myself in this first post.

My name is June, I'm 26 years young, I'm into natural living and am getting more in tune with nature everyday.  I've been married to Jason for 8 years now. We have 4 wonderful children. Kianna is 8 and cares more about the environment the any 8 year old I've ever met! Kody is 6 and is into any sport you can imagine. Katalina is 3 and is a princess, she's a daddy's girl in every way. Kaden is 1 and, he is still showing us who he is, so far he is a strong, very loving, little boy. 

I hope that you will all enjoy reading my blog!
