If you think I might be talking about or talking to the little people called smidgen, I’m not.  Instead I’m talking about a littlest tiniest cooking measurement I know.  A smidgen is a common measuring baking term. It is used to measurement dry ingredients that are smaller than a teaspoon.  Other common terms are Dash and Pinch. SMIDGEN - A smidgen holds 1/2 pinch or 1/32 teaspoon. 2 smidgens = 1 pinch.

Millions of Americans are hopelessly addicted to Sugar be it high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or the chemical varieties loaded with aspartame and sucralose.  Both are extremely harmful and can be life threating.  I found Stevia and used it help kicked my sugar habit for good. I am still working on cutting down carbs but when it comes to sugar I have got it covered.   I have written other post about Stevia but there are a few loose ends that needed to be cleared up about what forms to use and how to measure it. Stevia comes from the whole plant and many manufactures are producing it as a supplement.  But there doesn’t seem to be standards and each product has its own consistency. I set out to explore this and found it rather fun for each seems to provide its own taste. It has become for me a kind of art form which adds fun to my cooking.
