Practically No Sugar Added Version</p><p> I followed the directions from this <a href="https://cookingwithdog.com/recipe/easy-custard-pudding/">video</a> </p><p>But I changed the recipe to practically no sugar added because I'm type 2 diabetic. My recipe makes 4 servings like shown in the video. I don't make the caramel sauce because... sugar!! If you want the caramel then use a Werther's Original Sugar Free Chewy Caramel. When I do this, I cut one caramel into 4 pieces. Flatten the caramel pieces with your fingers before putting them into the dishes. You could use a whole caramel or half caramel per dish if you want.</p><p>Most days this is part of my breakfast. I add a banana, a piece of toast, and a glass of whole milk. If I remember correctly, the fat in the whole milk helps counteract (?) the sugars in the milk.</p><p>Here are the <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Y7K9XRJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1">ramekins</a> I use, the <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VRSR84/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&th=1">Stevia Powder</a> I use, and the <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Werthers-Original-Sugar-Chewy-Caramels/dp/B01M06S0S8/ref=sr_1_6?crid=10R52P4VSKPN6&keywords=werthers+original+soft+caramels+sugar+free&qid=1652301352&sprefix=werthers+original+soft+caramels+sugar+fre%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-6">caramels</a> I (rarely) use.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBaT_2DM4X9smnXp3ns_tptV4arDDKLOkMPO8h7qYlrzomGyJH4ks_06V5_Mbd7hlnsqMFHLvie49RbWtBXpfrJBOcmlYgrLvkXSRVwlnGzxECrMIQL7_CjjElcSB2JyeqQimXZt0d3r-te-QzIZyXBKI0OK0slvMcVIkoSTASC-EG_3QQOAj2VSuj" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="661" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBaT_2DM4X9smnXp3ns_tptV4arDDKLOkMPO8h7qYlrzomGyJH4ks_06V5_Mbd7hlnsqMFHLvie49RbWtBXpfrJBOcmlYgrLvkXSRVwlnGzxECrMIQL7_CjjElcSB2JyeqQimXZt0d3r-te-QzIZyXBKI0OK0slvMcVIkoSTASC-EG_3QQOAj2VSuj=w400-h280" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="463" data-original-width="265" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjvi6icTGHZAiUu_Gx3IISCjbmDsisM5Jc2PfDkdjctMSduFhAuiMFlkJMerEAKQCCpQw7zXSpb--fj2LIdIN6JUxApLtc2gYIoKo97L4KRZDYFO3uCce4joxmZ5ueQKBjBDljoCNHFAD05jFwwl8nyQtdkMRJnW9eLV5LEd9uN5K06LA2TSjz6Pg7t" width="137" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="" data-original-height="239" data-original-width="344" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj_hz2sl5QTMOdI3yD_D8kFLhYyEdhd4r3C93X10b8XmGD4Vm4BaztQMNSLffbi7Q2fmOrhEgeFQrVhVkae0FUjR58o_k0UBj1swvBpg1fBb24vSbmgJoL5OZ5q98c74PqTlGCsL4DGnu3dq2tzEZSpIMGbqCito1XoARrPByoM11gR0kto3sccqoee=w381-h264" width="381" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now for the ingredients:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">260 g. milk (I use either 2% or whole)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">40 g. heavy cream</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1/32 tsp.

<br />
<img alt="Download a wicked free papercraft halloween pumpkin template I found over at sasatoku.co.jp You can download the free PDF by clicking here. I thought I wouldn't find anything decent for Halloween, but this pumpkin is not garish at all!" height="462" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ac/55/1f/ac551f076c8318ea51564e448ef6c2aa.jpg" width="640" /><br />
With a lot of poking around, the template can be found <a href="https://www.sasatoku.co.jp/">here</a>. It took me FOREVER to find it and I didn't copy a link directly to the pattern.<br />
<br />
So, since it's free and I did my best to give credit where credit is due, I don't feel bad about posting the pattern here and making it easier for you. I also added some pieces because I just couldn't get mine to look like theirs. They must have taken a lot of time shaping theirs just right... Mine isn't exact, but here is what it looks like:<br />

If you don't have a cutting machine, you can copy this pattern and size it to your preference and cut it out by hand. (Uggh. That's what cutting machines are for!) For the size I made in this tutorial the pumpkin piece will fit on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of piece of paper. (If you make it to fit a 12 x 12 piece of paper [or card-stock] then it's much easier to glue those flaps!)</div>

side note: the flourish on my leaf is from the Silhouette Design store so I can't give it to you.

<br />
I love no bake cookies. They only take a few minutes and they're yummy. I have been making variations of this recipe for years and have just recently perfected it!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Best Ever No-Bake Cookies</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>1/2 C. brown sugar</b><br />
<b>2 T. water*</b><br />
Cook over medium high heat. DO NOT STIR. Swirl the pan as the sugar melts and begins to boil. <br />
<br />
When it turns darkish brown add:<br />
<b>1-2 Tbs. cream*</b><br />
Stir until smooth. This makes a caramel sauce.<br />
<br />
add:<br />
<b>1 stick butter</b><br />
Stir until smooth.<br />
<br />
add:<br />
<b>1 1/2 C. Sugar</b><br />
<b>1/2 C. milk*</b><br />
Stir well.<br />
<br />
Add:<br />
<b>3 Tbs. cocoa powder</b><br />
<b>3/4 C. peanut butter*</b><br />
<b>1/2 tsp. salt</b><br />
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.<br />
<br />
Stir in:<br />
<b>3/4 C. Nutella*</b><br />
<b>1 tsp. vanilla*</b><br />
<b>3 C. quick oatmeal</b><br />
If it's too dry, add more milk. Mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto aluminum foil. Let cool for a few minutes before eating.<br />
<br />
* I don't really measure these items, this is just an estimate. = ) I suspect that I use more milk than the recipe calls for...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176250034368401262.post-12507242618096120792017-05-25T16:09:00.002-07:002017-10-05T10:29:00.412-07:00Yellow Cake adjusted for high altitude (5,000 feet)I don't know about you but I LOVE cake. My family used to watch Cake Boss and he would get all upset if someone in one of his contests would use a cake mix. My previous experience with cakes was that cake made from mixes tasted a whole lot better than homemade. But watching Buddy carry on about how awful cake mixes taste, I went on a quest to find out how to make a fantastic cake from scratch. With a lot of help from a friend of mine who is a pastry chef, I learned how to put a cake together. My next challenge was finding a recipe that worked at my elevation of 5,035 feet. I bought a baking text book that my friend recommended that has a chart for adjusting recipes for altitude. Finally, I was beginning to bake yummy cakes! Then I found this yellow cake recipe from Alton Brown and wanted to try it. After adjusting it for altitude I made his cake. I decided that it was way too dry (I probably wrote it down wrong) so I have been fiddling with it and now I have my favorite cake recipe! <br />
<br />
Making a cake takes a while.. usually about an hour for me - more to cool and frost. I have a Kitchen-Aid mixer that makes the whole thing much easier. It can (probably) be done with a hand mixer but I imagine my arm would get really tired because there is a LOT of mixing that goes on to make this cake. <br />

<br />
<b>Prep:</b><br />
The first thing you do is get 4 sticks of butter, 8 oz cream cheese, and 6 eggs out of the fridge. Unwrap the butter and the cream cheese so it can be softening. (Two of the sticks of butter and the cream cheese are for the frosting.) The second thing you do is separate all the eggs. Put one egg yolk in a bowl by itself, the other 5 yolks go in a different bowl, and the whites in another bowl. Use the single egg yolk to make the pudding (the first thing listed in the recipe to do.)<br />
<br />
<b>Making the pudding:</b><br />
Using a small saucepan, stirring constantly, over med-high heat cook the flour, milk, cream, and sugar until it starts to get thick. Stir the single egg yolk and pour some of the cooked mixture into the egg yolk stirring constantly. After you've added half the cooked mixture to the egg yolk, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the small saucepan. Cook for another minute - stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla and stir until the butter is melted and the vanilla mixed in. Set aside to cool.<br />
<br />
<b>Starting the frosting:</b><br />
If you are going to use my frosting recipe, then do the first part: cooking the flour and heavy cream over medium-high heat stirring constantly until it forms a ball. Put in a small container and cover with plastic wrap - right on top of the cooked mixture so it doesn't form a skin while it cools. This must be completely cool before adding to the frosting so I do it at this point of the cake baking process. <br />
<br />
<b>Measuring the ingredients:</b><br />
Using a kitchen scale is mandatory. You can get one from Walmart for under $20 (I think). It needs to measure grams so check that before you buy one.<br />
<br />
Measure out all the ingredients. The sugar and salt go in one bowl and the flour and baking powder go in another. <br />
<br />
Measure the milk, vanilla, and almond extract into the same bowl that has the egg whites. <br />
<br />
<b>Prepare the pans:</b><br />
At this point I prepare the cake pans. Parchment paper in the bottoms then sprayed with a baking spray. If I make 24 mini cupcakes (my husband takes them to work) then I use two 8" round pans. If I don't make mini cupcakes I use two 9" round pans.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Mixing the batter:</b><br />
Cream the butter until smooth and creamy. <br />
<br />
Add the sugar and salt. Mix well. Scrape down the bowl several times to make sure it all gets mixed well. <br />
<br />
Use a fork to mix the egg yolks and SLOWLY add to the butter sugar mixture. Then mix for around 2 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl to make sure it is all mixed evenly.<br />
<br />
Sift in the flour and baking soda. Mix for a few minutes, again scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl several times. <br />
<br />
<b> From here on out, the mixer does not go above the lowest speed.</b><br />
<br />
Add the pudding by the spoonful and mix just until smooth.<br />
<br />
Whisk the egg whites, milk, vanilla, and almond extract until frothy then slowly add to the mixing bowl. When it starts to puddle then stop pouring until the liquid already poured is mixed in. When half of the egg white/milk mixture is mixed in, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Slowly add the rest of the egg white/milk mixture. Turn off the mixer as soon as it's mixed. Do not over mix!!<br />
<br />
<b>Baking the cake:</b><br />
Pour into prepared 9" round pans. Bake for around 30 minutes... or until done. Cool completely before frosting. = )<br />
<br />
<br />
The only cake better than the Yellow Cake is:<br />

The difference between the two recipes is that this one has ground maraschino cherries in it (add the cherries when you add the pudding), less milk and less sugar. Everything else is the same. Since I LOVE cherry cake, this one is my absolute favorite cake recipe! </div>

Here is the frosting recipe that I use. The cooked flour/cream mixture you make first helps the frosting be not so sweet. I put this in all my frosting that I make.</div>

I had a really hard time getting it right consistently so I simplified it and it works now every time! Here's how I do it:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HSE_7J2YqjI/WFsOgEinA4I/AAAAAAAADK8/UxnjPn2wI4g0RQ3eg4R8Avm37YCCo6rmgCLcB/s1600/DSCN3679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="357" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HSE_7J2YqjI/WFsOgEinA4I/AAAAAAAADK8/UxnjPn2wI4g0RQ3eg4R8Avm37YCCo6rmgCLcB/s400/DSCN3679.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, you take your two ends and hold them together. The pink yarn is what I'm joining to the green yarn...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rq376xLhxh4/WFsOfoUYz9I/AAAAAAAADK0/CuAUqvmS0loX7yk8shGEhPRTLGG_4CeWwCLcB/s1600/DSCN3680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rq376xLhxh4/WFsOfoUYz9I/AAAAAAAADK0/CuAUqvmS0loX7yk8shGEhPRTLGG_4CeWwCLcB/s400/DSCN3680.JPG" width="377" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then, wrap the pink yarn around your thumb ONCE. (In the video she has you wrap your thumb twice)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--0RdgWyqZRg/WFsOfyXAlXI/AAAAAAAADK4/UByTclUaaNwQzqhJvbSV4n4j59R0Kuv2gCLcB/s1600/DSCN3681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="382" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--0RdgWyqZRg/WFsOfyXAlXI/AAAAAAAADK4/UByTclUaaNwQzqhJvbSV4n4j59R0Kuv2gCLcB/s400/DSCN3681.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then wrap the pink yarn in front of the ends ...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k3DxolHY4EI/WFsOhJsoWxI/AAAAAAAADLA/0JGdmx4WXDwvz6t3huVHQoX7B0yU8QQDACLcB/s1600/DSCN3682.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k3DxolHY4EI/WFsOhJsoWxI/AAAAAAAADLA/0JGdmx4WXDwvz6t3huVHQoX7B0yU8QQDACLcB/s400/DSCN3682.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fold the ends over the yarn you just wrapped in front</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Itt2ZuXpOvg/WFsOhSgfJhI/AAAAAAAADLE/w5a-3akW-0wPlwuR804uSy_EItRRJ-C2QCLcB/s1600/DSCN3683.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="381" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Itt2ZuXpOvg/WFsOhSgfJhI/AAAAAAAADLE/w5a-3akW-0wPlwuR804uSy_EItRRJ-C2QCLcB/s400/DSCN3683.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hold the ends snug against the tail of the green yarn. Slip your thumb out of the loop.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sPvi6J0WtIU/WFsOhzdE46I/AAAAAAAADLI/99z0iM4zK8gdEY58X-4t6RUQQ8NmuEvgwCLcB/s1600/DSCN3684.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sPvi6J0WtIU/WFsOhzdE46I/AAAAAAAADLI/99z0iM4zK8gdEY58X-4t6RUQQ8NmuEvgwCLcB/s400/DSCN3684.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hold the ends snugly with the green tail then start to pull the pink yarn, (so this is obviously a bad picture because I don't have a good grip on the green end...)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-10FvpsRjHVI/WFsOiEpaB5I/AAAAAAAADLM/wN7osmuk0T8LCEpBCqe-Z_fj6gYgZBSygCLcB/s1600/DSCN3685.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-10FvpsRjHVI/WFsOiEpaB5I/AAAAAAAADLM/wN7osmuk0T8LCEpBCqe-Z_fj6gYgZBSygCLcB/s400/DSCN3685.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
make sure the pink loop stays down around the folded over ends</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
