      The nutella recipe looks wonderful.

        I had to guess blindly and I guessed wrongly, I never heard of this soup before.

            I once did a pumpkin cinnamon roll from KA flour with candied ginger. I haven't repeated it but it turned out very nicely. I found pumpkin - whole wheat breads are useful to feed to people who think they don't like whole wheat, they assume the color and the different taste is due to the pumpkin.
            I didn't know that challah recipes came eggless, I thought the definition was an oil-egg yeast bread without any dairy.

              I don't think it really needs the egg yolk. Try just leaving it out. The potato would thicken the soup slightly.

                BakerAunt;
                The zuchinni chocolate chip pecan bars look great. I thought in another thread that your stepson wanted to eat nothing but pie.
                I made a cheese pizza yesterday. Its now getting cool enough that I can use the oven to do proper cooking.
                I bought a jar of green mole sauce, which is very tasty with pan fried chicken and okay with slow cooker chicken. I still have part of the jar left and was thinking of chicken pot pie with mole sauce. What sort of vegetables would you use? My normal vegetables for a pot pie are carrots and celery and onions, but that doesn't seem to fit a South Western theme and are a little boring besides.

                  Perhaps you could use a challah bread recipe for the base as that is oil based, and just have a little glaze without any butter at all.

                      Brushing with milk might have been done to get the filling to stick to the dough better. If you brush with melted butter, the cinnamon roll layers are likely to seperate.
                      Why would you make a single serving of cinnamon rolls? I could eat most of a half sheet pan and thats only slightly more time consuming than making 9 cinnamon rolls.

                        I did carrot bread yesterday. Unfortunately I use the fine ( ginger ) grater on half the carrots before I realized what I was doing and reduced the carrots almost to a pulp. I also used maple syrup instead of honey for the sweetener. The carrot bread is moister and denser than it would otherwise be if I hadn't use the wrong grater. It still works well for breakfast with cream cheese. If I put sweetened Greek yogurt on top I wonder if I could tell myself its a cake? The texture is more like a pudding cake than a bread.
                        This was cooked in a slow cooker for about 3 hours. Its now getting cool here and I'll soon be able to bake in an oven again.

                          I don't think of desert as part of a meal --- I'm normally fairly full at the end of a meal. I like desert by itself a couple of hours later or as a mid afternoon snack. Biscotti are fairly low in fat as cookies go and there are very low fat biscotti recipes with only a little oil. If Biscotti get too low fat, I compensate by drinking hot chocolate with whipped cream with the biscotti. Or eat more biscotti. Its amazing how fast biscotti can disappear.

                            I knew this! KA is always talking about the protein content of their flour.

                              I messed this up.

                                The biscotti recipe looks great. I find it hard to believe that cookie recipes are part of a healthy diet. This recipe has less fat than most biscotti recipes, and could be made with all whole wheat flour. I'm going to have to look at the other Mayo Clinic recipes.

                                  You can buy a glove that protects against knife cuts. I've seen them for sale in Restaurant supply stores. I have one and plan to use it next time I try to debone a turkey. A friend bought one when he got a mandoline.
