Strawberry Jam Bars sugar free
I have a bag of Pecan Meal in my freezer procured on a trip to a Pecan Grove in Georgia last fall that feature a touch of Southern Pecan goodness. You can choose any flavor of Jam you would like, I had half a jar of Smuckers Sugar Free Strawberry! So I made Strawberry Jam Bars in my kitchen.

These cookies taste so good that you will have zero desire to eat anything with real sugar from the family holiday table. Food this good is a pleasure and not a punishment or compromise. I live and love this lifestyle and so will you!
