Wouldn't it be great if the Girl Scouts would come up with at least one decent tasting lc cookie? I think that would be pretty awesome. I bet they could come up with something like the thin mints in lc, as well as a decent peanut butter cookie, or almond lace cookie.

Hopefully we'll see more coconut oil replacing trans fats going forward. Personally I think butter has a better shelf-life than people think, and I do believe that the "saturated" fat issue is somewhat misunderstood.

I'm experimenting with different types of ground meal to come up with flour alternatives and have found that a blend of ground golden flaxseed and ground almonds makes a wonderful flour substitute at least for breadings and anywhere where breadcrumbs would be used (such as in meatloaf or meatballs--see the main dishes recipe section). I think I'm going to try this blend to see if I can bake a nice peanut butter cookie. I'm not particularly crazy about soy in general.
