does anyone have any recipes for an easy yet dietetic cake or cookies? I want a very simple one but not a typical one. Thanks!
meringue cookies are made with egg whites and a little sugar (or substitute). They have no fat and are relatively low in calories.
maybe you can try the kosher by design light? i think thats what its called…
you never know if the things in the cookbooks come out good, keepinentertained, judging by your username you do a lot of baking, so maybe you can give recipes that worked out well for you…
It’s a good idea to only make healthy cakes, because who has the extra money to spend on taking the cake to the doctor?
bored@work, funny that that’s what you pulled from my usuer name, but yes i do enjoy cooking and baking…when im not busy with school work and everything else…i would love to share…just let me know what type. and there are lots of other people here too who i know share lots of delicious recipies for anyone who needs.
sqeak – that was so not funny. and anyway, if you have insurance, the money’s not the big deal, it’s the time.
brooklyn, I think you misunderstood squeak’s joke which actually made me literally lol like I often do here in the cr (my coworkers must think I’m out of my mind, but then again they may be right).
He wasn’t joking about a person getting sick from eating the cake, he was talking about taking an unhealthy cake to the doctor to help the cake get healthy.
squeak, errrrr…
i GOT it, Charlie! how slow do you think I am??? (don’t answer that – i don’t wanna know…) i just didn’t think it was funny.
brooklyn, when you mentioned insurance that made me think you didn’t get it. sorry.
well i was answering one poor quality joke with another poor quality joke. (sorry squeak – it wasn’t supposed to get this far!)
It’s not a joke, folks. It’s grammar.
so squeak, is there any grammatically correct way to say unhealthy cake other than to use the long hand “cake which causes those who consume it to become unhealthy”?
brooklyn,
can we dissect this any further? 🙂
So far no healthy recicipies. Guess we gota just stick wit da good stuff
Yes. The correct term would be “healthful” or “unhealthful”. I hate how that sounds but that does not prevent me from pointing out its correctness 😉
lol charlie – THAT actually got a laugh! (first one for the day! thanks!)
brooklyn, glad to hear that!
1) Try a site like epicurious.com or another cokking site. Search in the lite or healthy department.
2) Just google it and see what you come up with…
3) If you don’t want to go out and buy a cookbook at any bookstore, try taking one out of the Library.
4) There are lots of sites devoted to healthy eating, recipes, wieght loss, etc. it’s out there, have fun finding some good ideas!
charlie brown, thanks 4 explainin!! didnt get at first but now that i did must say im actually laughin out loud … thanks!!!
squeak,
soon as I saw your post, I knew you were referring to the grammar. But my 8th grade teacher (I still remember!) said it is supposed to be “healthy for you”! I guess maybe she was wrong or I remember wrong. (Now, please don’t comment on my grammar usage. thanks!)
P.S. Did I put the e’s and i’s in the right places?
Yes you did 🙂
You are well on your way to becoming “intelligent”!
KeepinEntertained,
you;re welcome! Keep laughing. Its healthy, err healthful to do so. 🙂
1. Open a box of Dunkin Heinz cake mix.
2. Follow directions on box
3. To reduce fat by 50%, throw out half the cake.
Quick, easy AND low fat!
but unhealthy. (or is it “unhealthful???”)
Squeak…good idea, but isn’t that baal tashchis? I do have a recipe for low fat muffins and when chanukah is over i will dig up the recipe in my recipe box and type it here.
In the meantime, you can use the Dunkin Heinz cake mix and substitute apple sauce for the oil, and it still tastes delicious.
I think that ANY carrot cake is intrinsically healthful, as are banana cakes, zucchini cakes, cheesecakes, and chocolate cakes (chocolate comes from a vegetable, no?). That’s my story, and I am sticking to it…
squeak,
Thanks! Let me know when I reach that milestone!
About the cake, good idea! (I think yoyo wants a cake that you can eat !)
LOL-literally :-
Hello oomis wow same line of thinking over here! anything that has something natural in it gota be healthy!
oomis, I see we hold by the same shitta!
‘all recipes’ has some great recipes and many of them are low-fat. Also in many cake/ muffin recipes you can replace most or all of the fat (marg or oil) with applesauce, measure for measure, and the taste & texture will be great. I usually recommend replacing half of the fat first (if it calls for marg, you can replace the other half with oil). If that works (which it usually does) then I’ll try a total replacement.
I do have a great banana oatmeal muffin recipe that I got from ‘all recipes’, and made some changes, if you’re interested I’ll post it after Shabbos.
“I usually recommend replacing half of the fat first (if it calls for marg, you can replace the other half with oil).”
Did you mean to replace half with apple sauce or you meant oil?
I heard of this concept before but i don’t get it, if it really works why would the recipe be oil? is there a difference in taste. Also should you put less sugar because the apple makes it sweeter, no?
My SHadow and SSJinNYC, clearly we all have great taste!
Definately!! And we clearly all needa go on a crash diet!
yoyo- go to allrecipes.com and check out their low fat recipes.
intel- I meant 1/2 with app sauce & 1/2 oil. I use unsweetened app sauce & have never found the recipes to be too sweet, but you can often cut down on the sugar without a prob anyway. Most people do not notice a difference in texture or taste, but there is definitely a slight diff, and I’m sure some people like it better with the fat.
