gerisullivan...research recipes and make you oatmeal-cherry-cranberry cookies with Sunsweet Lighter Bake in place of the butter so the warm-from-the-oven cookies have just a quarter gram of fat each.
And what are those three grams of fat doing in a half cup of dry oatmeal, anyway? Especially when the recipe calls for 3 cups of the grain?
Many thanks, Elaine! For the cookies, for your presence, and for all of the help these last two weeks. Much appreciated!

Date: 2009-05-24 06:30 pm (UTC)I know there's fat in darned near everything, and have been guesstimating all of those "0 grams fat" servings at being more like 0.49 grams. Even 3 grams is super low for anything with nutritional value beyond sugar.
The way I look at it, a quarter gram of fat certainly beats the 5 grams in a single Keebler Pecan Sandy. There hasn't been a single commercial cookie I've been willing to buy after seeing the grams of fat in them. Four cookies for a gram of fat is a win, and a bit of chewy cookie goodness is ever so welcome right now.
