I made 2 8x4 loaves using Splenda for the sugar and 2 whole eggs + 1/2 cup of egg whites. I also trimmed the amount of walnuts. One loaf I put in the freezer and the other I sampled with gingerbread spice tea. So nice!, I'm thinking about making a big bundt loaf next Fall/Winter. This has very nice flavor and texture. made for Pic A Chef, Spring 2013 round.

<p>If I could only figure out how to make a living cooking... I cook with passion, care and patience, I am thinking that might be a bit hard to make a living only cooking for 10 people at a time :) <br />It's all about texture and flavors blending for me. I think I make people a little nervous because I don't really eat the things I cook. I am a "taster". I cook with only real ingedients, refuse to deal with low fat, low flavor, low calorie. Food is life, everything in moderation.</p>
