Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Carb cake recipe, please! I want a good one that comes with a good recommendation Also, are your teriyaki tofu strips dried out like jerkey? My husband may be really interested in that! Cassie " life's a garden, dig it!

My children also like for a " treat " seltzer water with stevia and lemon or lime or both juice. Also to plain water, they add those to give a different " twist " . We use agave instead of maple syrup even. Our favorite " staples/snacks " are dried mangoes (no sulfur) and teriyaki tofu strips (homemade is cheaper than the store bought and simple to make, just time consuming). I always try to make extra " goodies " ...carob cake (made with stevia), but they seem to disappear quickly, so we don't make them often, but they are quick and simple to make...just quicker to eat! I always get vegetarian cookbooks from the library and pick new recipes out...i love others ideas!! Congratulations on the clean-out...
