Cass/KIDPIZZA, thanks for doing the math of the olive oil substitution chart. I’m glad you also mentioned that subbing olive oil in cookies would lead to spreading. That would be a disaster, because most cookie doughs take a fair amount of time to prepare.

Of course, if you made bar cookies, that should be a moot point.

Today I made turkey, red cabbage, roasted butternut squash and rice.

On Thursday I made Skinny Pumpkin Pie, recipe on the Betty Crocker web site. It's an oil crust that only uses 1/4 cup of oil. I've made oil crusts before, in fact they are my mainstay, I call them "good enough crusts". This crust, however, was just too little oil. It turned out a bit hard and stuck to the pie plate in spots even though I gave the plate a light spray of Pam. The filling was OK but a little soft. It tasted fine as I seasoned it my way (1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, nothing else). I don't care for traditional pumpkin pie seasoning (people who don't like pumpkin pie tend to like mine). Not a waste but I've made better.

Today I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake. I haven't made this is several years but I remember it being pretty good, a little heavy because of the pumpkin but good. It smelled pretty good coming out of the oven. I'll be serving it tomorrow. The pics are from several years ago, the last time I had made it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone !

I often use a cake mix, Arrowhead Mills, so you will not hear any criticism from me. As for subbing rum for the water, the alcohol in rum will bake off faster than water as it has a lower boiling point. So that might make your pie squares a bit dry.

Italiancook, those look real interesting, I may give them a try. If I'm understanding you right, they should be placed cut side up on the parchment. You can see from the pic on KAF the seams are on the side, the same way as if you were making cinnamon buns, if you were to make them.

Today I made some mini spice cakes. This was my first attempt at piping.

Tonight I roasted some salmon, made fettuccine with spinach and mushrooms finished with a little chicken stock and a baked apple.

Yesterday I baked a vanilla cake (from a mix) and topped it with chocolate frosting flavored with hazelnut flavoring from The Spice House. I greased the pan and then coated it with hazelnut flour from KAF to give it an added hazelnut kick.

Rascals, I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Today I baked sandwich buns.

Tonight I baked the KAF whole wheat banana bread. I reduced the nuts a bit and added raisins and white chocolate chips. I haven't sliced into it yet so I don't know if it's good.

I roasted a pork rib roast today.
