i just read this entire thread because this is my topic!! I mean, haven't done much in awhile, but I finally got to baking that Perian Almond Cake this evening. Pics to come soon. It's pretty darn sweet for my supposed-to-be sugar-free diet, but once in awhile, I mean... :P

I found a recipe from Betty Crocker that I changed. So tomorrow I will be making a spinach and feta cheese quiche. Instead of using Bisquick I will be creating a crust with the pyhllo dough. I changed the recipe so much, I don't think even Betty would recognize it as hers now. And for dessert I think I will make a fruit bowl of citrus fruits. We very rarely eat dessert, but tomorrow is a special day. Almost a holy day for New Englanders.
I change recipes all the time!
Oh! So this sound amazing, but any chance there's like gluten free dough (ahh, i mean pre-made or something, or a recipe for homemade) AND a dairy free alternative for the cheese?? I know, i know! What am I even making anymore!? But i just miss that taste so much!!! :P
Down South, we use pecans. As a teenager, I could walk around our neighborhood in autumn, and pick pecans up for free. The neighbors didn't mind, since pecan trees were everywhere.
Here in Dallas, they are not as common, and people here frown upon folks picking up pecans from their yards, even if they aren't going to use them.

This was so interesting! I didn't know you could pick up pecans or that they were just around your neighborhood like that!! This is quite embarrassing, and I guess I never thought about it, but I didn't realize they came from trees. I mean, that's just so cool to read! I'm kinda from the city/subburbs. Even though I visit relatives in more of a country area, I had never heard of a pecan tree. so cool!
I baked two gluten-free pumpkin cakes. I have been trying different add-ins. This time it was dates and pecans. I love that combo. The recipe uses coconut and almond flours, maple syrup, a small amount of coconut sugar, and lots of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice.
Other add-ins have included raisins & walnuts, and dried cranberries with pistacios.
recipe please!
yeah, I actually believe I still have some canned pumpkin (or maybe i baked it into something else). Well, hubby doesn't care for it, I think it's a great veggie for healthy baking! I mean, it just has to be done right. No storebought pie is gonna cut it! :P
I baked the lasagna yesterday and decided since the oven was already on to find a use for the leftover ricotta. I luckily picked
Classic Ricotta Pound Cake » Call Me PMc . This is one of the best pound cakes I've ever made! It was so moist and rich tasting. I used almond extract as we were having a glass of amaretto with it for dessert.
Oh man! I miss lasagna too!!! The cake sounds good too! I was starting to experiment with ricotta too for baking before I went on this diet. Yeah, that and yogurt really up the moist factor. Glad it was good for ya!
*really wish there was a like button here. then again, I'd probably break it from overuse.
