My cooking tragedies
When I was little (aroun 10 or so) I made my dad a coffee cake. I wanted to impress him... well the recipe called for .5 cup cold coffee... It didnt say you had to MAKE the coffee first! Let me tell you - the grounds gave that cake some flavor! And it weighed about 5 lbs....

Sugar Free Brownies
Ok - I am not diabetic but do try and eat low carb. That being said - I made a couple changes that made these pretty good! I took one packet of SF choc pudding and put it into the 1 cup measuring cup. I then made up for most of the difference with Splenda but did add .25 cup sugar (for sweetness) I also added mint choc chips and I used a stand mixer with a whip to fluff it up. I then sprinkled coconut on top. YUMMY... very dense and cake like.

Apple Banana Cupcakes
Delicious!! I try to not substitute ingredients as I feel that after altering them you cannot really give an honest review but this time I had to! The changes I made were - sub applesauce for the shortening, used splenda instead of sugar and I added raisins and cinnamon chips ... oh my they are great!! But not cupcake like - more very moist little muffins. Thanks so much!
