I am having a huge Easter gathering at my house for neighborhood friends and kids... so I am having everyone tell me what they want to bring etc... and a lady tells me she is bringing a "healthified" brownie made from a recipe using black beans.

Well I would normally ignore this and just look the other way and not have any, no biggie right... but I have heard of some recipes, low carb recipes, that use black beans and was wondering if hers might be one, but instead of asking if it was low carb, I asked if it was sugar free..... well now she has went above and beyond out of her way and found some sugar free brownie mix............... well this is made by pilsbury, and obviously not something I want to have. But now I feel bad, and will feel rude turning one down Saturday at the gathering.

I am tired of explaining, in detail what I do and how I do it (eating low carb). This is a fairly new friend of ours, so she hasn't gotten the whole spill, and we haven't eaten much with her. I mean everything in me wants to say I am not eating that crap! lol... but really... what is the proper etiquette when faced with something like this? I am almost to goal, and could very easily eat one with no ill side effects, but it just goes against everything I believe in... so do I be a good host and eat what my guest is making (for me) or do I stand my ground and look like the stuck up health food-ist that won't eat anyone's food. UGH!
