Lori, that cake does sound delicious, and other than the corn syrup and the sugar (which I can substitute Splenda for in the recipe), it would be perfect for our low-carb diet. Would anyone have any ideas as to what I could possibly substitute for the corn syrup? I'd really like to surprise my hubby with it (he loves his dessert).

shambo- Maybe this recipe from "Natural Meals In Minutes" by Rita Bingham will work for you, or give you an idea for changes you can make to the original recipe. -Grainlady WHEAT AND SESAME TORTILLAS 2 c. whole wheat flour 3 T. dry milk powder 1/3 c. sesame seeds 2 T. butter or applesauce 1/2 t. salt 2 T. yogurt 1/2 c. lukewarm water Combine dry ingredients. Use hand or electric beaters to cut in butter or applesauce until mixture resembles fine crumbs. [Grainlady note: I love this hint. Since the first time I made these, I now use my electric hand-held beater to cut fat into dry ingredients - it's so easy and so fast compared to cutting fat in with a pastry blender.] Slowly pour in water and yogurt, mixing lightly with a fork. On a floured board, knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a ball, cover and let stand for 10-minutes. Divide and shape dough into 8 balls. Cover, removing one ball at a time and roll paper-thin on floured board. Place on heavy, hot, ungreased skillet, over medium-high heat. Blisters should appear right away. Brown on one side and turn. Cook about 30 seconds. Makes eight 9-inch tortillas. [I like to use this recipe for wraps - LOVE the addition of sesame seeds - yum!!!] -------------------------------------- The link below has another favorite recipe and it has variations using cornmeal and all-purpose flour or whole wheat and all-purpose flour, and 2 T. shortening. It's especially easy to mix in a zip-lock storage bag and a great project with children. -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: Native American Tortillas In a Bag

Thank you Sue. I happy that it is something that your DH can eat. Chapatis are really easy to make too and are a wonderful addition to any meal. I've added a link to your blog on Thibeault's Table. Ann

I like this one better than any I've tried. It's purloined from the homesick texan blog. I do use fewer tortillas. Just a matter of preference. Slightly Fancy-Pants King Ranch Chicken Casserole Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds of chicken, without skin and bones 4 teaspoons of lime juice 1/4 cup of olive oil 3 cloves of garlic, minced 4 tablespoons of butter 1/2 an onion, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 poblano pepper, diced 1 10oz. can of Ro-Tel tomatoes, drained (or you can use a can of regular diced tomatoes and a 4 oz. can of diced green chiles, or if tomatoes are in season, can use two cups of diced fresh tomatoes with 1/4 cup of diced green chiles, such as a jalapeno) 4 teaspoons ancho chile powder (or chili powder) 1 teaspoon of cumin 1 cup of chicken broth 2 tablespoons of flour 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper 1/2 cup of half and half 1/3 cup of sour cream 1/2 cup of cilantro, chopped 3 cups of grated pepper jack and cheddar 10 corn tortillas Salt and pepper to taste. Method: 1. Season the chicken with the lime juice, 2 teaspoons of ancho chile powder and a dash of salt. In a skillet heated on medium, cook the chicken in the olive oil on each side for about 10 minutes. 2. When chicken is done (after about 20 minutes), shred it with two forks and set aside. Taste and see if it needs more salt and pepper. Should yield about 3 cups. 3. Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium, and add the onions, red bell pepper and poblano pepper. Cook for 10 minutes. 4. Add the garlic, flour, cumin, cayenne pepper and 2 teaspoons of ancho chile powder, and cook for 1 minute. 5. Add the chicken broth and cook on low until mixture is thickened, a few minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and Ro-Tel cover the pot, and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 6. Uncover the pot, and add the sour cream, 2 teaspoons of lime juice and 1/4 cup of cilantro, and add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat. 7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 8. Heat up the tortillas (you can do this by adding a bit of oil on an iron skillet and then cooking the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side). 9. Ladle 1/2 cup of the sauce onto the bottom of an 11 x 7 inch baking pan. Layer half the tortillas along the bottom of the pan (on top of the sauce). To make sure entire pan is evenly covered, you can rip some of the tortillas into strips to fill any gaps. Add half the chicken, half the remaining sauce, half the remaining cilantro and 1 1/2 cups of grated cheese. Repeat the layering, leaving the cheese layer on top. Cook uncovered for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbling. Serves 6-12, depending on how big a portion you distribute. Goes great with sour cream and cilantro on top.
