Hey flash, do you have those sugar-free dried fruit/nut candy/cookie recipes in electronic format? I'd love to have them, either here or via email.

Melt margarine. Combine with sugar and eggs. Stir in applesauce. Add dry ingredients and fold in nuts and raisins. Bake in a 9x9 pan at 350 for 45 minutes.

This sounds good. I'll try it with half whole wheat flour.

I made the carrot muffins, I did most of it wrong but I got rave reviews, including from my DH who doesn't like carrot cake

It seems to be a very flexible, very forgiving recipe.

I've got the applesauce cake in the oven right now, with 1/3 whole wheat flour and 2/3 all-purpose flour. It smells so good!

My 9 year old is on a baking/cooking thing (and I am NOT about to discourage her). She keeps us stocked up in muffins. she adds fruit of all kinds to them..Apple muffins, strawberry mufins, grape muffins (new one to me, but they were good!)..she is also into making upcakes. She cools them completley, then freezes them all together in a large ziplock 2 gallon bag. Every morning I grab out 1 for each lunchbox and put it into a smaller ziploc bag. We do not ice our cupcakes--infact, I don't think my daughters know they are supposed to be iced! we don't ice our cakes either, but sometimes sprinkle lightly with cinammon & sugar or splenda & sugar.
another thing they like for morning snack at school is a hardboiled egg, or peice of fruit.

The applesauce cake turned out great! I used 1/3 whole wheat and 2/3 all-purpose flour. The cake is nice and moist. Thanks for the recipe.

I have to add apple sauce to the list for next week, or apples...

Think it would 'muffin up'? I can't have to many crumbs in my kids sunday school they teachers would go from loving the food to hating it!

I made the oatmeal cake a few days ago. It tasted amazing and was very easy. I cut down a little on sugar and bustter but it's still really rich. I want to learn to do a health bar version. The real version is so tasty and I bet a lot of people have the ingredients on hand-I do, and aI'm not a big baker.

Hey, I know it isnt really baking per se, but does anyone have a "drop no bake" type cookie recipe? I remember having them as a kid, I remember them being chocolatey, and having oats in them Yum. Thanks to anyone who has a recipe for me. I think they would be economical to make??

I loved those cookies! Don't have any idea how to make, but htey were sooo good when other people made them!
