Recipes I've Shared:
The original moosewood recipe calls for 1/2 cup oil. I made it once as the recipe calls for with oil and once with applesauce. Worked beautifully with applesauce, so that's the keeper for me. Delish with optional glaze calories included
We went to an Indonesian potluck and I searched for a recipe that I could make. This was what I found and OMG!!! It is AMAZING! I've tweaked it some and we love it! It is very vinegar-y, which is perfect for me, because I love vinegar.
Easy Beans and Rice! This isn't a leave the house recipe, because you have to come back to it and add stuff, but wonderful for a rainy Saturday.
I jokingly call this my "quoffle". It is so light and fluffy it is kind of a mix between a quiche and souffle!
Over the years, I've searched for a quiche recipe that I really like and feel like I can eat. I've come across a number of recipes that just weren't quite right. This takes the best parts of all of them to make a healthy, light and tasty meal!
Another Spark Friend found this recipe on Blogspot and I wanted the nutritional info!
I've been playing and playing with the recipe for crepes that my French husband found. It was WAY to fatty and sugary for my taste. Tonight, I accidently left out the sugar and he thought they were better than ever. So... here is the new recipe as I made tonight! YEA!!!
I went peach picking the other day and came home with copious amounts of peaches. I was searching for pectin free way to use them and found a recipe for spiced rum peach butter online. It had WAY too many ingredients and FAR too much sugar to be what I was looking for, but it inspired me. I took what I knew from making apple butter and came up with this! Don't be put off by the cooking time, this is a toss in the crockpot and go recipe!!!
This is a modified version of a family recipe. I have reduced some high fat ingredients to make it a little more diet friendly.
From the book, Sun Bread... a sunny bread to share!
Lovely rainy day activity with the kids!
My husband surprised me this morning by making some muffins from my 1955 Betty Crocker cookbook. After pitching a fit because I didn't know if I could eat them, I figured I should find out how bad they are for me. Nutrition info is for 9 muffins because that is how many DH made this morning out of the batter. But, you could and should make 12 more reasonably portioned muffins out of the batter should you try these. But, they are quite good! Worth the calories for a brunch.
These are a traditional Mennonite Christmas cookie. This is my grandmother's recipe and they are the best peppernuts I have EVER had. They put all other peppernuts to shame! They are an investment in time, because they take 2 days to make, but well worth it, if you like anise. These are dark, crunchy, and sweet!
My family likes Tuna Casserole but I never seem to have bread crumbs or something else to top it with. So, this is my version, without toppings and without baking. Quick for a lunch with the kids or dinner for hubby to make!
This is my mom's recipe... but she uses a lot more meat and ADDED salt... I have edited to make it lower sodium... but by no means, is this low sodium!
I love this for left over chicken... and turkey. We eat this several times after thanksgiving! Easy and tasty!

That calls for oil, I stir steam instead of stir fry in water... I haven't included the oil in my calculations, so if you use 1 tbsp oil, it changes things a bit...
I needed a dessert for unexpected guests. I didn't have enough of anything on hand to make any of my regular recipes. This is the healthier mix of several recipes and is actually pretty good.
I modified I recipe that I found online to make it a little healthier. One option is to use applesauce instead of the eggs (about 1/2 cup for 3 eggs)
I modified the recipe of a good friend of mine to make it healthier, and to include whole grains!
