yeah; there's a limit to how much you can use those things. they sound appealing, but im pretty ok with just using parchment paper or just greasing/flouring things.

Ok, I made this homemade bread last night, and it was SO ridiculously good. Btw, you don't need a bread maker to do this. Look in the reviews, and it'll tell you how to make it by hand. Man, there's nothing like homemade bread. Also, I used maple sugar instead of white sugar, and olive oil instead of butter, and added 1/4c of vital wheat gluten. Mmmm....

So... are you all overweight yet?

I came across this baking blog and it made me cry . I'll be trying out some of the recipes posted there. This weekend I want to try out the peanut butter cookies.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

1 large egg
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon Mexican vanilla
1/3 cup chopped peanuts, to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, beat together egg, sugar, baking soda and vanilla. I use an electric mixer for this, but you can do it with a whisk. Beat in the peanut butter and stir in the peanuts.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Cookies will look puffy and soft when the come out of the oven, but they sink and firm up as they cool.

Makes about 40 cookies.

Okay, I have to share another pecan recipe with you. I just made this, and it was amazing. This crust is so tasty, and it uses a ton of pecans. The filling could stand to be sweeter, so I'd double the maple syrup, or top it with cool whip (which is what I did.. mm......). BTW, I modified the spices a bit from the original, since the reviewers said the ginger was a bit too much.



Pumpkin Tart With Pecan Crust

INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup pecan halves
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons real maple syrup

1 cup soy milk (you can use regular milk)
1/4 cup arrowroot powder

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup real maple syrup
2 T pumpkin pie spice

DIRECTIONS:
1. Set rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9 inch pie plate. Set aside.
2. Spread nuts over a baking pan. Toast for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the smell of nuts fills the kitchen. Set aside 16 pecan halves for garnish.
3. Combine oats, flour, remaining pecans, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a food processor bowl. Pulse until mixture becomes a coarse meal. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Whisk together oil and 3 tablespoons maple syrup, and mix into dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Press mixture into prepared pie plate. Crimp edges. Bake for 10 minutes, and set aside to cool.
4. Blend soymilk and arrowroot in the food processor until the arrowroot is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 15 seconds. Add pumpkin, 1/2 cup maple syrup, spices; process until thoroughly blended. Pour filling into baked crust, and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the outside inch of the filling is set. Don't worry if the center is still soft; it firms up as the pie cools. Transfer pie to a wire the rack. Gently press toasted pecan halves into hot filling in 2 concentric circles. Cool to room temperature, and then chill until set, about 3 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Well, you're definitely not fat, but how do baked goods not make you fat? Baked fish doesn't make you fat, I guess, but baked desserts?

what abcd said above- by the time i'm done baking something, i usually don't have the desire to eat it in its final form, and i usually only bake hardcore when i have people who will eat it all. and just in general, when i cook/bake my own food, i eat a lot better than i would if someone else was cooking for me.

Yeah, me too. 'Cause my parents eat Pakistani food almost all the time and it's very unhealthy.

But I don't bake too much, 'cause I suck at it. That, and I think I'd end up super fat from eating all my own desserts.
