What kind of sugar/sweetener do you use?
We're trying to eat healthier, and I've been evaluating many of my standard recipes to see how I can make them better for us. I'm running into some questions about sugar and sweeteners...
We usually use just plain ol' white refined sugar. I'm guessing that might not be the healthiest option. Are sugar substitutes (splenda, etc) the way to go, or are there nutritional concerns there? Should I be using something more natural like honey or agave syrup?
Ideas or suggestions?

The biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less. - Anna Quindlen
