I've made possible suggestions for the switch but I haven't tried them to see if they work.

Also, you can substitute fresh beets, I use the canned kind when I don't feel like peeling beets.

You can also add potatoes, zucchini, carrots, or any of your other favourite veggies!

Submitted by JO_JO_BA

This is definitely one of the craziest recipes I have ever tried. Somehow, I got it into my head to make a cake with fresh beets in it. I researched a few recipes, I found one here on Spark Recipes but the quantities seemed wrong, so this is my version. I wanted to make a red velvet cake and the color of the batter after you mix in the beets is indescribably gorgeous. Unfortunately, upon baking the cake, the color fades to a golden color and loses most of it's red. (I add a picture of the bright red batter so you can see how it looks before it bakes). I used a bunch of red food coloring because I really wanted the look of a red velvet cake. Food coloring is optional, of course.

My husband says it is the best cake he has ever tasted. It is rich and moist and dense and you can't taste the beets at all, although they give the cake a distinctive taste. I didn't tell him until after he ate half of it that it had beets in it. He doesn't like beets, but he begs me to make this cake.

This is my version of the copycat vitatop muffin recipe that I found. Since some of the reviews stated that the muffins were dry, I made a couple of changes. In the original recipe, they used unsweetened applesauce and nonfat half and half. I substituted mashed banana for the applesauce because I thought that would help keep the muffin moist, and greek style yogurt for the half and half. I also added molasses as the splenda website said that would add moisture and boost flavor. Since I watched a chocolate chip instantly sink into the muffin, I let them bake for a few minutes before sprinkling the chips on top of the muffins.

Submitted by KLR397

This is one of my family's very favorite dinners. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed. I just ordered PB2 and am looking forward to trying it with this recipe, to cut the fat back even further!

This is a really tasty meal that is great in cooler weather. It is low in fat and sodium. It can be eaten in all phases of South Beach. If you are not watching sodium, you may want to add salt to taste. If you like your spaghetti sauce with a sweetness, you may want to increase the splenda (my husband always uses a full tsp when he makes it, I use 1/2 tsp) Also, we sometimes add extra tomato sauce so we will have more 'sauce' for rice. We have tried using rotel tomatoes and it was good, but a bit spicy for us, others may find it perfect. We usually serve it with brown rice and it makes a complete meal. If your family is full of meat eaters, you may want to increase the meat.
