When I am just sitting and relaxing, I look up recipes and then read all the comments and add them to my planner. I have found that my husband loves the idea that I am making new dishes and had no clue that they were healthier. I never tried substituting applesauce for oil before. I tried it with pumpkin bread. WOW that was awesome. Try new things and healthier recipes. We never eat out any more because I can make most of my favorite recipe now at home and I know what is really in them

this is a great idea and it's one area of the Spark site that i haven't utilized except to input my own recipes
and who knows? if i try a recipe & like it, i can go to that person's SparkPage & tell them so & maybe make a new "virtual friend"
thanks for posting this idea!
