Why so much oil in carrot cake recipes?
Comments (33)I don't remember who posted this recipe or the link to the recipe, but it is very, very good. Although it has no added sugar and is lower in carbs (great for diabetics like me), it's not low in fat or low in calories. I usually make mini-muffins rather than a cake, for portion control. I haven't yet made the frosting, so I can't comment on it. The Fantabulous Whole Wheat Carrot Cake 16 servings in 9"x13" pan (12g net carbs; 15g total carbs including 3g fiber) 24 mini-muffins (8g net carbs; 10g total carbs including 2g fiber) 2 cups white whole wheat flour, sifted 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 cup Splenda for baking or 1 Splenda Quick Pack for even fewer carbs 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I like more) 4 eggs (I use jumbo eggs) 1 cup canola oil (or substitute with some apple sauce) 2 cups grated carrots 1 cup unsweetened crushed canned pineapple, drained Combine dry ingredients. Beat oil and eggs until frothy; stir in carrots and pineapple. Mix wet ingredients with dry until just mixed - do not over mix. Put into greased baking pans of your choice. Bake at 350° - 15 min for mini-muffins; 25-30 min for 8"x8" pan; 30-40 min for 9"x13" pan. Cool in pans several minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack. Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting 1 1/2 cups cream cheese (1 1/2 8 oz. brick) 1 1/2 tbs. butter, softened 16 packets of Equal (or less to taste) 2 tsp. vanilla 0-2 tbs. milk to thin frosting if needed. Let cream cheese softened to room temperature. Add softened butter and beat with mixer until creamy and smooth. Add vanilla and sweetener....See MoreChinese Tea Eggs, And Other Food From Your Childhood
Comments (65)I've eaten dim sum in NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco. I was thrilled when a good dim sum restaurant opened in the neighborhood in Denver that has a high proportion of Asian residents, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Laotian. Our Japanese residents are mostly in the downtown area with Korean citizens living in both areas and in one of the suburbs, there are some very good restaurants in all these areas along with some very good Indian restaurants but good dim sum was lacking for many years until a small family restaurant in the Denver Asian area, there are long waits on the weekend days, Then about two years ago the same family opened a second restaurant, much fancier than the original, about twenty minutes from our home. The dim sum is just as delicious with a greater selection, on carts or to special order from a list, and the restaurant is very beautiful with large round carved dark wood tables as well as smaller rectangular ones, a very large live fish tank you can select from and beautiful etched glass panels dividing the space. I'm sure a lot weddings and special events are held there. A large raised area at the end can hold three round tables for 10 guests each. Not only is the food really good, the atmosphere lovely, but the family has also managed to maintain the same friendly and good service that is at there original location. No tea ggs though, maybe they are not a dim sum dish. But they are still on my to try list. Thanks for telling me about the congee, John, and it's fine that you are not an eggplant fan - I have recipes, just always looking for new ideas. Lee...See MoreOreo Fridge Cake (Pics)
Comments (19)Thanks everyone....Diana this one isn't quite the same as the old recipe for the which I used to make, because the addition of 1 lb of quark turns it into more of a tangy cheesecake type of dessert, and lower in fat than if it were all whipped cream. I'm sure peppermint would also combine nicely with the chocolate. Your stacked version looks like a good party item too! Quark comes in a choice of fat content and is generally considered a healthy option to sour cream or all whipped cream. The one I used for this is made from semi-skinned milk with a 6% fat content. It's still rich I know, and I've never been one to promote overly-rich desserts, lol, as I generally keep away from them all. From searching the web it seems that a half & half combo of cream cheese and low fat ricotta or just all ricotta or creme fraiche would substitute for the quark if one doesn't find it in a shop. Here below is an interesting NY Times article with a couple of recipes on page 2.

Comments (8)I usually just "wing" Chow Mein, therefore I am not sure how authentic mine is. Here is a recipe I have not tried, it's from a very old cookbook my mom gave me back in the 70's.

Rinse under cold water, drain. Mix noodles with 1T of oil. Mix shrimp with 1/4 tsp salt and cornstarch. Heat 1 T of oil in wok to 400F and stir fry shrimp until they turn pink, about 1 minute.
