This is the BEST chocolate frosting that I have ever made. I used organic butter (no shortening) and organic heavy cream in place of the milk. I think that the kicker was using a scratch-made fudge topping though. The frosting was really wonderful on the One Bowl Chocolate Cake from this site (and the Hershey's cocoa package) and was more then enough to frost it as a 2-layer. The weather was hot when I made it so I iced and refrigerated it for a day before serving. I let it come to room temperature before we ate it. The leftovers freeze beautifully too. Individually wrap the pieces and just let them sit out for as long as you can wait!

This is a very nice white bread. I used butter instead of lard and substituted 1 1/2 cup of the bread flour with whole wheat. Baked one loaf in a shiny metal pan and one in a glass dish to compare. Very little difference other then the loaf in the glass dish browned better on the sides and bottom. Brushed the top with some melted butter about halfway through baking. Great texture - really nice all-purpose sandwich bread.

Wow, this recipe really takes applesauce to a new level. I used both green and red apples - don't know the types but they were both on the tart side (they grow on our property) - organic sugar, which adds a bit of a molasses back ground and cinnamon. I used my crock pot so I reduced the water just a little bit. Doubled the recipe and put the pot on high for 4 hours. It only required some stirring to break the apples up. Excellent! Never knew applesauce could taste so good.
