Stuff I've learned

One thing I've noticed and learned about me, I eat more when stressed and create recipes and bake when I'm happy and/or content.  I am consciously trying to bake healthier things.  Less sugar, less fat.  I can use applesauce and yogurt in place of oil.  I tried pumpkin pie mix in place of oil when I made brownies.  DON"T DO IT,  You can totally taste the pumpkin and it was nasty.  I love pumpkin, but not that way.  Now if you use it in a vanilla cake or blondies, that may be perfectly fine but I haven't tried that yet, so if anyone has a recipe like that, please share.  I love to try new things.  I have quite a few hundred recipes I've written.  My binders are overflowing!  Now it's to the point where I have so many, it's hard to find the one I'm looking for, so I create the recipe all over again, find the original & they're close.
And about the hot fudge cake, when it cools, it has cake on top, like a pudding filling in the middle and a thinner sauce on the bottom.  Very good.  I've made it a few times because it's so quick and easy and I've had it cold and hot, so it's good either way.
Well, ta-ta for now & enjoy!!
