So I’ve been absent again. December is a crazy months in the music world.
Anyway, it’s winter break now and one of my first orders of business is baking! I made chocolate chip zucchini bread fro the cooking light cook book and sarah’s now infamous pumpkin gingerbread.
My lazy cooking tip for baking is to buy the snack sized no sugar added applesauces. Each portion is 4 oz which is just about right for most baking projects. A lot of quick bread recipes call for up to a cup of oil which I replace all or some with applesauce. Better for you and nobody can tell. Sneaky. I know.

What proportions do you use? I’ve always wanted to try this, but never knew what would work.

I use it 1 to 1. Depending on the recipe I’ve even completely replaced the oil with applesauce and no ones the wiser. For this one I used 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup oil to replace 3/4 cup of oil.
