  1. Very tasty! But I would cut the sugar by at least 1/2cup next time - a bit too sweet for my taste. I used pecans instead of walnuts, 1/2 five alive juice (ran out of orang juice, but it gave it a nice flavour) and whole wheat flour. Took a bit longer to cook - had to leave it in for an additional 15 mins.

Hi, my name is Rachel and I love to cook! Zaar is my favorite site to look for recipes and I know I can always come to CC for advice. I was born in Montreal but I have a Chinese and Italian background. I graduated cullinary school in June '08. I cooked at a golf club until October and loved it. Now I'm working at a high end steakhouse. I have a tattoo on the back of my neck of the Chinese symbols for strength. I'm a person who never gives up, never let's someone tell me I can't do something. I'm a very fun, easy to get along with person. I'm a lil bit crazy too sometimes haha. Favorite Saying: You have great potential, so live in it. A quote which I really like from Chef #61010 : "Roll with the punches and keep going forward. Never give up." <img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b224/dejectedwithstars/redborder-animate.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
