No Sugar Added Isn’t Just for People With Diabetes Anymore....

For years, “no sugar added” was often associated with people managing diabetes, following a keto lifestyle, or trying to meet a specific dietary need.

But that is changing.

Today, no sugar added has moved far beyond the “special diet” category and into everyday life.

People are simply becoming more intentional about what they eat, how much added sugar they consume, and what ingredients they bring into their homes.

That means no sugar added products are no longer being saved for one person at the table.

They are showing up on charcuterie boards, brunch spreads, party tables, dessert trays, family breakfasts, recipes, entertaining menus, and everyday snacks.

And that is exactly where my fruit curds belong.

A spoonful of Lemon Curd on a cheese board. Blackberry Curd paired with soft cheeses and nuts. Strawberry Curd swirled into yogurt or spooned over dessert. Peach Curd served alongside fresh fruit, pastries, or a favorite breakfast.

And I could mention a dozen dinner sauces and dressing you can make.

These are not “diet foods.”

They are delicious foods that just happen to give people another way to enjoy sweetness without all the added sugar.

What I love most is seeing my products become something everyone at the table reaches for, not because they have to, but because they genuinely love the taste.

No sugar added has gone mainstream.

And dessert, entertaining, and everyday eating are becoming better because of it.

I'm so here for it.

Back-to-school lunches just got a whole lot better.

My Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the kind of treat kids get excited to find in their lunch box.

They are chewy, chocolatey, packed with that homemade-cookie flavor they love…and they’ll never guess there’s no sugar added.

And for kids who need to avoid gluten, these cookies make it easy to include a special treat without feeling like they’re missing out.

Because healthier choices shouldn’t taste like a compromise, especially when it comes to cookies.

Pack one alongside their favorite sandwich, fruit, and veggies and send them off with a lunch-box surprise you can feel good about too.

No Sugar Added | Gluten-Free | Diabetic-Friendly | Clean Ingredients

Sometimes the best part of lunch is still the cookie.

This song says it all. LOL

The Garlic Fest was so busy I’m surprised Duncan got as many pics as he did.

We came home with nothing🎉🎉.

Every case of curd, gift box, package of cookies, and show special of mousse and brownies were pretty much gone by late Sunday.

I didn’t even have samples left to try. 🙁

Glad we have a website to take orders on it.

We loved meeting new customers and seeing our TUT loyalists.

The no sugar added, healthier option dessert movement at TUT is on 🔥.
Thank you everyone!

We will be serving up samples of fruit curds and cookies at the Washington State Garlic Fest.

Stop by and enjoy family time at the festival.

Come out and support all of these amazing vendors in our Expo Hall during Garlic Fest 2026!

Join Duncan and I at Garlic Fest this weekend where everything garlic reigns supreme.

There will be plenty of garlic food to eat, so I will hold off on trying out a new garlic curd and stick to my original Blackberry, Lemon, Peach, and Strawberry.

Get to the booth fast.

Curds typically sell out before the show ends, especially Blackberry and Lemon.

I will bring extra but you have been warned. 😂

I will have bags of cookies to try, buy, and stock up on for you and the kiddos lunch boxes.

A delectable show special is on the menu. It's a surprise so come try it out.

See you in Centralia, WA on Friday.

Sometimes all it takes is a thank you and a few cookies.

The people who worked the Coupeville Festival event last weekend did an amazing job.

It’s a hard job with long days, many moving parts, thousands of people and vendors to manage, and did I say they volunteer for the community?
Yes, they are working all day for free.

They didn’t need to say thank you to me for my thank you to them but it’s always nice both ways.

Thank you Coupeville Arts Festival
See you next year.
❤️Jude.

Packing school lunches for the kiddos is always a challenge. Will they eat the healthy stuff or throw it away?

These new guidelines encourage you to keep trying to provide healthy snacks to avoid the enormous amount of sugar kids are inundated with in food.

New federal dietary guidance recommends that children under 11 avoid added sugars.

We know it's hard, but with school lunches, activities, parties, and packaged snacks, those sugars can add up fast.

Read the latest article, What the New U.S. Dietary Guidelines Mean for Kids: Five Things to Know, from Stanford Medicine for all the details. Check it out in the COMMENTS.

And remember, TUT has an alternative to all the traditional, sugar filled snacks.

Discover how our no-sugar-added, gluten-free, non-GMO cookies can offer a more thoughtful, still-delectable alternative for the lunch box.
