Hey, Other Dave: Welcome to the table. Thanks for posting the recipes. I may have to try them out with some modifications. Three years ago I was diagnosed as diabetic. One of the best things that ever happened to me. I took off 30 pounds, and never looked back. My blood sugar has been normal, I am not on medication and I have my blood sugar checked every four or five months. The good thing is that I started taking care of my body, and am now running on high-test, premium instead of the cheapest economy fuel. Through time, I've modified most of my favorite recipes with generally good results, substituting Splenda (a sugar substitute in this country made from sugar) who wheat flour for the white enriched stuff, margerine with no trans fats, and a few other alternatives. That might seem to take all the fun out of life, because the food I make is generally good for you. But, I like being at my fighting weight, with all the associated energy level. And, I don't feel like I've had to give up much.

I have a recipe for something called Cowboy Cake, which I was given at a folk concert I did, many years ago. I swapped a copy of one of my albums for the recipe. I've been meaning to try it with whole wheat flour and Splenda, so maybe your recipes will motivate me. I'll track down my Cowboy Cake recipe and post it here. Maybe even figure out how to do a blue clicky (just been too lazy to do it.)

The great thing about cyber food is that it isn't fattening. Pass me another slice of that pepperoni pizza, will you?
