I like to make smoothies with almond milk rather than plain yogurt because the yogurt is sour and requires more sweetener. Also, if someone has issues with dairy, the almond milk may be a better choice.

The original recipe called for Wind & Brown Rice, but if you can't get that, whole grain brown rice works, too. It also called for Shitake mushrooms which I did not have access to, so I substituted white mushrooms. It can also be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable stock for chicken stock.

I got this off the box of Ancient Harvest Quinoa. It is very good. Sometimes I change the seasoning to make a little different taste. For example, I like Cumin so I add that instead of oregano. I might also leave out the Almonds for a change.

My mom made chiffon cakes for special occasions. These were light like an angelfood cake, but had more calories since you use oil and egg yolks. I haven't seen these kinds of cakes listed and wanted to share this.

Just by using any flavor of boxed cake mix and adding extra ingredients you can produce some tasty cookies. Of course this will change the calories depending on what is added. For this recipe no additional ingredients besides the base were added to give you some idea of what a basic cookie would be like.

These are great for Christmas or for those that like the flavor of Red Velvet cake, but not all the calories.

This is an old fashioned recipe. Most people don't use Crisco any more, but this was for a special project that needed many doz. of cookies. It is surprising that one cookie is only 112 calories. (But the fat content is not healthy.)
