I didn't have any applesauce but I did have pearsauce so I used that (who has pearsauce but not applesauce, only a crazy person I guess). My muffins turned out really moist and they didn't get that raised muffin top ... Any ideas why?Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016977171944482940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365859696377211087.post-154733108488949872008-10-28T17:00:00.000-07:002008-10-28T17:00:00.000-07:00It is a good feeling :) So far I have tried your ...It is a good feeling :) So far I have tried your homemade whole wheat pizza (twice!

I'm new to this whole "eat healthier" business, but I'm trying to do a 180.

I often get coupons for olive oil-ask me when you run out and I'll give you some. I wanted to compliment your photo taking abilities. You must have had fun stacking all the muffins. And hooray for daisies! :)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943106592140454948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365859696377211087.post-5433664217998837672008-10-27T20:19:00.000-07:002008-10-27T20:19:00.000-07:00I am a fan of the applesauce substitution also. B...I am a fan of the applesauce substitution also. But vegetable oil is good for keeping dutch ovens or other cast-iron pans in good, seasoned order. :) <BR/><BR/>Also, I had read somewhere that virgin and extra-virgin olive oil weren't so great for stir frying because they have low smoking points. And, well, to stir-fry it needs to get pretty hot. I was just using vegetable oil for that but then just now I read at chinesefood.about.com that you can use standard or "pure" olive oil instead and it can take the heat. Good to know! <BR/><BR/>and you wouldn't recommend it anyways, but if anyone is thinking of doing some deep-fat frying, they'll want to use vegetable oil for that. I can't do fried food anymore...had an issue with homemade egg rolls once and I've never been the same since. Unless it is shrimp, my favorite food. :) Wow, too long, sorry. Just wanted to share that you piqued my interest enough to do even more research. Thanks!!staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297839535769656849noreply@blogger.com
