Introduction

Followed this recipe from Food.com exactly. Did not make any substitutions and it turned out very nice....tender and rich tasting. Good base to tweek to make healthier!
To cut out 44 calories & 4.5g fat per serving, try substituting all the oil for 1 rounded 1/4 cup applesauce plus only 1 tbsp oil. To cut another 35 calories, substitute splenda for the granulated sugar (keep brown sugar).
This would bring the total cal/serving to 202 and fat/serving to 7g. Followed this recipe from Food.com exactly. Did not make any substitutions and it turned out very nice....tender and rich tasting. Good base to tweek to make healthier!
