Dedication

As always, this cookbook is dedicated in loving memory to my parents, Jerome and Agnes McAndrews. My mother was considered one of the very best bakers in all of Clinton County! In fact, more than a few women paid Mom to bake cakes and such for them in their pansso they could pass the goodies off as their own! If a community bake sale was being held in Lost Nation, Iowa, the first question always was: What is Agnes bringing? Ill buy it before it gets here! My father was so very proud of her baking accomplishments. In fact, he delighted in bringing her baked goods with him to the Farmall Tractor Factory in Rock Island, Illinois, so he could share them with his coworkers.

Ive taken many of Moms secret recipes and revised them so they not only look and taste as good as hers, theyre easier to prepareand lower in fats and sugars. But I still made sure they would pass her muster before sharing them with you! Mom was a modest person, as the poem of hers that Ive chosen to share with you shows. But she had much to be proud ofnot only her baking skills but her writing abilities, too. I hope you enjoy her poem as much as you enjoy my recipes.

Lifes Demise

When my lifes task here on Earth is over,
and Time continues to march on,
I wont leave behind wealth or riches,
nor possessions worth a song.
But I hope to have left many pleasant memories
for having passed this way,
Offering deeds of kindness to others,
and a prayer for me they will say.
My monument wont be elaborate,
like a pyramid touching the sky.
Still, I have one so priceless and precious,
the kind that money could never buy.
For, it is three heirs I have given the world
for the continuation of Mankind
My most cherished possessionsthree daughters
I have willed to Godmy gift most sublime.

Agnes Carrington McAndrews

Acknowledgments

Truly successful baking is a fine balance between ingredients, preparation method, and a well-calibrated oven. For helping me find that balance, I want to thank:

Shirley Morrow, Rita Ahlers, Phyllis Bickford, Gina Griep, and Jean Martensmy employees. While I was under deadline for this book, each pitched in and did whatever was neededbe it typing or retyping, mixing or remixing (and dont forget washing tons of dishes), tasting and retasting, and taking samples home to their familiesso I could get even more feedback on the recipes. You could say they were the flour that bound this project together.

Cliff Lundmy husband. Even though he went back to long-haul trucking, he still looked forward to the samples I saved for him to try on the weekends. He especially enjoyed taste-testing the bread and cookies. And he proudly shared samples with his fellow truckers. He was the frosting on the cake of this book, so to speak.

Barbara Alpertmy writing partner. She was busy teaching, and I was busy, too, not only with this project but also with writing my monthly food newsletters, flying off to QVC, and pursuing many other Healthy Exchanges endeavors. But we found that via the Internet, we could connect at whatever time was convenient for each of us. Barbara became the eggs of this project. In other words, she found a way to bind my words with hersso the finished product is better by far.

Coleen OSheamy literary agent. She mentioned that it was time for me to write a cookbook on baking with Splenda, because I had discovered so many more baking secrets since writing Cooking Healthy with Splenda. She was the sweetener that made this whole project possibleand tasty.

John Duffmy publisher and editor. Ive been so fortunate to work with the same person all these years, and such a helpful person he is! John was the shortening of this projecthe smoothed the way for yet another Healthy Exchanges cookbook.

Godmy creator and savior. When requested to create another cookbook with a very short due date, I immediately said a prayer asking for His guidance all the way. He didnt fail mein essence, He was the yeast that made things happen quickly. He helped me rise to the occasion.

Baking is Backand Sweeter Than Ever!

If you want sweet dreams, youve got to live a sweet life.

Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

Over half a century ago, back in the 1950s, women were expected to devote themselves to being perfect wives, charming hostesses, and brilliant bakers... and all this at a time before so many of the kitchen conveniences we now depend on were invented!

Back then, women baked elaborate cakes for family birthdays, tried to outdo one another at bake sales, and struggled to keep their figures by squeezing themselves into girdles (remember, this was before sugar substitutes were widely available!).

That was then, and this is now.

Then, baking was common, but so was the need to often deny ourselves the sweets we adored.

Now, after years during which baking took a backseat, lots of womenand plenty of menare heading back to the kitchen, armed with wonderful appliances (like bread-machines!) and the culinary gift of Splenda. This healthy and delicious sugar substitute offers everyone the chance to enjoy homemade baked goods. And we no longer have to sacrifice good health or fear for our figures. Best of all, using Splenda to sweeten our goodies doesnt mean giving up good taste!

Why We Come Back to Baking

So what is it about baking that so many of us love? What draws us back to the kitchen year after year, to stir up recipes old and new?

I have a few good answers to those questions and some others.

Pull up a chair and lets visit for a while about the role that baking has played in my life and may play in yours!

Ever since the first person mixed together a little of this and that and set it to bake over a fire, baking has had a kind of magic to it, as well as a wonderful ritual. You gather your ingredients, you prepare your pans, you confer with wise and experienced cooks (in person or by using a recipe), you measure and mix and stir and pour. Then you wait and watch, entranced and intrigued, as your dough or batter is transformed by heat and time into something brand-newsomething that didnt exist before but that you have somehow magically brought into the world!
