Sugar Free Pumpkin Bars With Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:46:10 -0400

Completely sugar free dessert! I've been experimenting with a sweetener called "Xylitol" that I buy online and will gradually post recipes with my successful results. I promise never to post a recipe that hasn't passed the "Kid Test". I have four kids who are very, very finicky eaters. My kids CAN tell that these aren't made from real sugar - mostly because I don't have real sugar in my house anymore. But they still love these. I have also served these to friends without anyone knowing they weren't "normal" pumpkin bars. I started looking for a sugar substitute when a dear friend had surgery and became completely intolerant to any processed sugar. Splenda doesn't agree with me and I always prefer 'natural' options when possible. Xylitol IS more expensive than sugar, so experimentation is frustrating sometimes. I hope you will enjoy my successes without having to endure the waste I've had. It has 40% less calories than sugar, 75% less carbs, and has a glycemic index of 7 (compared to sugar at 68 and corn syrup at 100) and my friend can enjoy sweets once again! The key to using this in place of sugar is to MELT the xylitol before adding it to the recipes. I just melt mine in my pyrex measuring bowl in the microwave. I have found it's very important to MELT the Xylitol but not BOIL or otherwise over-heat it, because it does alter it's consistency like sugar. If you heat it too long, when it cools, it becomes rock hard. (I'm still figuring out how to use this to my advantage in fudge and caramels - I'll post when I get a successful outcome.) This pumpkin bar recipe is an adaptation of one I have in an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I also use only whole-wheat flour and try to skim some of the fat (though not all, in order to keep a nice degree of moistness). I buy my Xylitol online. Some bigger cities might have natural/health food stores that sell it in the store, but nothing near me. I pay about $25 per 5 pound bag, so shop around. For me and my family, the switch is worth it. -- posted by Bizy_Mum

Asa Ransom House Brownie Mania

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:13:32 -0400

In 1799, the Holland Land Company offered lots 10 miles apart in what is now Clarence, New York, to "any proper man who would build and operate a tavern upon it". A young silversmith named Asa Ransom, had been plying his trade in the little fur trading post on the shores of Lake Erie. He was among the first to accept this opportunity and in the hollow of the ledge, near a pine grove, built a log home & tavern. In 1803, he built a grist mill, the first in Erie County. Over time, the business has evolved into a charming inn noted for it's authenticity, hospitality and cuisine. -- posted by Molly53

Fat-Free Banana Fudge Brownies

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:13:19 -0500

A fat-free alternative to a classic dessert. I used cake meal to weigh down the texture of the brownies, which sometimes fluff up too much when oil or butter isn't used. It also gives the brownies a rich, deep, sweetness and retains moisture better. Also, the course kosher sea salt (preferably Mediterranean sea salt) is a must. The flavor of the chocolate is really dependent on the salt in this recipe, so using good quality course sea salt makes a huge difference. -- posted by seattle gourmet

Altered from a friend's recipe that originally called for Walnuts, these cookies are my teens' favorite from our annual Holiday cookie trays (which usually includes 24-36 different kinds of cookies, so...they have some STIFF competition!) Wonderful all year round, these are simply scrumptious. One terrific variation is to add a layer of lemon curd on top of the raspberry jam or you can substitute half of the flour with ground almond meal. DIVINE! Of course, you can always sub walnuts for the almonds to go back to the original recipe. :) -- posted by Lizzymommy

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Blondies

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:15:40 -0500

From The Best 50 collection of cookbooks. This is straight out of the Brownies and Blondies edition. A little of this goes a LONG way! Not really a blondie by my standards, but it passes off as an interesting bar-type dessert. PLEASE NOTE: Because most people are not really used to tasting molasses, it may take a few bites to fall in love with this recipe. I did not like it at all when I first tried it. But, after giving it a second bite, I found I can't get enough of it. This seemed to happen with EVERYONE who tried it. So, please, before giving an unhappy review, try it again. If you find that the molasses is just too much to handle, try cutting the topping ingredients in half. It really does make a lot of topping as it is. I hope you enjoy this! -- posted by the_cookie_lady

I cut this from a magazine several years ago (not sure which one). Putting it here for safe keeping...hopefully I'll get to make it sometime soon! -- posted by Karabea

My grandma's recipe; she was a wonderful baker. My favorite part of these bars is the frosting! Servings listed are a guess. -- posted by The Wallaces

Pecan Chocolate Chip Rice Crispy Squares

I put this together this morning because I was craving something relatively healthy but still bordering on decadent. I think this fit the bill perfectly. Don't put these in the fridge to cool, let them cool in the air if it's not too hot in your house. Once these are cold they are hard to cut into pieces. Once you cut them into squares store in the fridge. -- posted by Chef Joey Z.
