"Sugar-free" has always been a "yu-u-u-c-c-k!" phrase to me. How could things that us Sweet Lovers find delicious be satisfying without sugar? Well, guess what? Thanks to my contracting a weird illness, the Web Master, now must learn to appreciate...or, at least, "tolerate"...sugar-free stuff.
So, knowing that I've got a lot of company in this "club" I'm offering a page of "half-an-hour-or-less recipes" for our old favorite, sweet desserts, since they're the hardest to replicate. Check 'em out.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs lightly, add oil, orange juice, and grated rind.
