Disappointing but not a Total Waste

I am diabetic and my husband is borderline diabetic, so I had high hopes for this cookbook. I don't know what the people who gave these recipes good reviews are used to eating, but I have baked for a great many years and am used to the taste of traditional baked goods. I agree with the reviewer who wrote that the texture of some recipes is inedible, the gingerbread for instance and the brownie walnut pie is borderline. Most of the recipes need "fixing" to bring up the flavor. Lemon Crumb Bars--what a disaster! Two of the ingredients are 21 small fat-free saltine crackers made into crumbs, and reduced-fat biscuit baking mix. Can you imagine how salty this combination is? It was to be the cookie base for the bars and it just tasted like saltine crackers. You could barely taste the lemon flavor. What was the author thinking?! What was I thinking to even try such a recipe, for that matter?

I did have some successes. I really liked the Buttermilk Coffee Cake although it needed it's crumb topping spiced up. I also liked the coconut-rum-pineapple pie, but the texture was much better after it sat overnight. I will keep trying recipes off and on in hopes a few more of them will turn out well.

The hints about baking with Splenda are helpful, as is the nutrition breakdown at the end of each recipe.

Taking the 'Sin' Out of Cinnamon Rolls

With three children in Iraq during the first Gulf War and weighing 300 pounds, Joanna Lund found herself thinking about death. After losing 130 pounds, Healthy Exchanges was born, and this cookbook is the latest in her series.

Although a discussion about Splenda's safety would have been helpful, recipes like Decadent Fudgy Brownie Pie, Classic Cherry Cobbler, Cappuccino Cheesecake and even Choca-Cola Cake are sure to delight dieters. Not every recipe works, but many do. So can we finally take the "sin" out of cinnamon rolls? This book says yes - and I tend to agree.

Cookbood using Splenda

This is a great book--It has some amazing recipes using Splenda instead of sugar. I am glad I got it.

Yummy Low Carb, Low Fat Baking!

Due to a sugar metabolizing problem, I have been trying to find new ways to create some of the desserts that I love without all of the sugar. Lowering fat in dishes is also a concern for my mother, who suffers from a pancreas disorder. So, with those things in mind, I picked up this book to see if you could really substitute Splenda in most baking recipes. I was not disappointed.

Using ingredients that are easy-to-find or often on hand, I was able to whip up a simple dessert or yummy baked good that had low fat and low sugar without subtracting the taste. Unlike a previous reviewer, I had no problems with lack of taste in any of my dishes (and I rarely, if ever, use salt when baking...why add the sodium unless you absolutely have to?). I take great pride in my baking, and love to create yummy desserts for my family, and I was able to serve several of these dishes without any negative comments. I was happy they turned out so well, and it feels good to be serving a dish that is lower in fat and calories.

Some of our favorites include: Blueberry Orange Muffins, Heavenly Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins, Strawberry Dream Cake, Country Carrot Cake, Cheesecake Topped Fudge Brownies, Five Layer Bars, Country Baked Pudding, and Pineapple Rum Cheesecake. Enjoy!
