No nuts and raisins in that one... I personally didn't mind because I don't like those in my cinnamon rolls, but I'm sure you could just add them in. I really encourage you to try that recipe though - it's SO good! Tastes really close to Cinnabon.

Hello! It's been a while since I've been around here, but I know all of you are extremely wise when it comes to kitchen knowledge so I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me out with something. My boyfriend has a great banana bread recipe that everyone loves - he gets so many requests for...

I made this bread last week and it was great! It ended up being three loaves; they were gone within a few days (special thanks to some of my sisters' friends who couldn't stop eating it... lol). I'll definitely make this again! It's dangerous though - really tough to resist eating it all when...

I love Diet Coke and Fresca, but I don't drink them all that often. Most of the time I can be found sipping water. But never regular sodas! I find that they leave an awful aftertaste.

I got in the habit of adding mint leaves to my green tea last summer. I'm sure you could do similar things with yours.

What have you planted? My mother always has an herb garden and so far it's done pretty well no matter what. Usually she grows basil, oregano, rosemary, peppermint, lavender, spearmint, and a few others that she changes up every year. So far it's just been a matter of watering them. They've all...

How hard do you want it to dry? I've used the Wilton recipe and it hardens nicely, but it's not rock-solid like royal icing. Are you looking to use this for cakes, cookies, or something else? Once I know that I can probably help you. :)

"The Hungry Years: Confessions of a Food Addict" by William Leith. Cleverly written and very informative about food's effects on the body, the truth behind popular diets, the low-carb vs. low-fat debate, and so on. I recommend it.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

How exactly do you make this? Anyone got a recipe? It sounds really interesting.

Try a flan?

In addition to what everyone else has said, I would like to add that you shouldn't skip the crunches altogether. Although they won't help you magically lose weight from your midsection alone, they'll eventually help you slim down all over. Doing crunches will build up your abdominal muscles...

Haha! Cat pictures are the best. I love the "invisible ____" ones: :rofl:

These ideas are all so nice! Next time I make a pie I'll consult this thread for inspiration. Thanks everyone!

I haven't done the Master Cleanse, but I've heard that many people can't stand it. I'd be interested to know how others have fared with it because I've been considering it for a while.

Tdiprincess - I agree with the first bit of what you've written. Fasting for weight loss purposes can be dangerous, especially if you don't know what you're doing. Many people make the mistake of breaking a fast by indulging in whatever it is they've been craving during their food-free days...

I love this idea! Next time I have an occasion (and some time!) to make a nice dessert, I'll definitely try these. :)

My stepdad is supposedly related to Walt Whitman. He's also a guitarist for Blood, Sweat, and Tears who has also toured with Meatloaf, Pieces of a Dream, and some others I'm not remembering at the moment. My half brother (on my biological dad's side) is a photographer and producer in LA, but I...

^^^ That's what I would do. Just keep an eye on them as they bake; the cooking time in the recipe was calculated for a different size pan.

Hi! I don't actually know what you're referring to, but I use a recipe for banana cream pie that you might be able to adapt: Granny's Banana Cream Pie Recipe | Recipezaar. Just don't put the sliced bananas into the shell before pouring in the custard, and it seems like you'll be all set. The...

It's sweet... maybe about average in terms of frosting? The taste of the butter kind of balances it out nicely though. It definitely isn't overkill; I hate frosting like that too.

I just used the recipe I linked to (second post) and it came out great! Very creamy, perfect consistency for spreading. I definitely recommend that :)

Try this: Kittencal's Creamy White Buttercream Frosting/Icing Recipe | Recipezaar I used the author's chocolate icing recipe for a cake I made last week and the consistency was very good. It's very forgiving in that you can play with ingredient amounts until the texture is the way you want it...

Wow, flashback! I used to watch that all the time when I was about 5. Makes me want to see it again now that I know who all the voice actors were. Lol.
