\n Food News<\/strong><\/big> from Janice Taylor.<\/strong><\/a>
\nThere’s a New Marshmallow in Town.<\/strong><\/big>
\nI happened across a bag of La Nouba<\/a> (No Sugar\/ No Carbs) marshmallows<\/strong> at the check out counter at my local market. I was skeptical. “Hmmmm,” I wondered, “How could no sugar\/no carb marshmallows be any good?”<\/em> I mean, really – isn’t that the whole idea behind marshmallows? Aren’t they supposed to be ridiculously sugary, sweet and sticky?
\nOne empty bag later,<\/strong> I’m here to tell you that La Nouba’s soft and smooth textured marshmallows melt in your mouth and are darn tasty too. They have the same scent, feel and roast-ability that ‘real’ marshmallows have, and they are pretty. Half pink, half white, they are the dandiest ‘diet’ marshmallow ever!
\nAnd at ONLY 40.8 calories for three marshmallows<\/strong>, I couldn’t get into too much trouble. There were only 12 marshmallows in the bag ($2.99), and I shared them with a friend after a three mile walk. Perfect!
\nCongrats La Nouba, for making one Tush Kickin’<\/em> sugar-free sweet treat! Consider yourself Kick in the Tush Club approved!!
\nNew Meanings (source-Urban Dictionary)<\/strong>:
\nMarshmallow is also a statement that is said when it’s all GOOD!
\n(What’s her face<\/em>) said she would go out with me, I got an A on my test, and my parents are buying me a car. (sigh)<\/em> Marshmallow!
\nInteresting Facts About … the Marshmallow<\/strong>
\nMarshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt. It was a honey-based candy that was thickened and flavored with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant. In the early 1800’s doctors extracted juice from the Marsh-Mallow plant and mixed it with egg whites and sugar. When it hardened, it was used as a medicinal candy, soothing children’s sore throats. Sadly, in the mid 1800’s, the Marsh-Mallow Plant was replaced by gelatin. And even worse, today’s marshmallows are basically a mixture of corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, gum Arabic and flavoring.

\nAnd pick up a copy of the All Is Forgiven, Move On!<\/a> It’s MARSHMALLOW! (all good).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
