You also need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer (both are free.) With PrintFriendly you can delete or resize text and photos. When you’re done with the edits you can then download the file to your computer and open and print it -- or you can print it without saving if you want. Works great. Visit printfriendly.com for the simple instructions.<br /><br />Creating a Word document is just a tiny bit more work than PrintFriendly, but is more flexible. Highlight and paste whatever text you want to a Word file, then copy over any photos you’d like to include, if any. From there you can resize the text and photo(s) and reposition them.CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-90195444260076931252018-12-23T12:48:58.892-05:002018-12-23T12:48:58.892-05:00This recipe is the best I have seen so far in my s...This recipe is the best I have seen so far in my search.<br /><br />But I have to mention that your "print" version still includes way way too much stuff.

I think it would be hard to work with. I would probably use a non-savory version of the crust on my spinach-feta pie and press it out in the pie dish. <br /><br />Also, I think you would need more "goo/liquid" for a larger pecan pie. I'm working on a larger/regular sized version that might work better. I will post it once I've perfected it. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-15184724814315544022014-11-03T20:00:27.692-05:002014-11-03T20:00:27.692-05:00Good evening

I am not sure how they would turn out in regular sized muffin pans...even when I made the "regular version" in the past, these don't have the "goo" (for lack of a better word) that say, pecan pie has. The filling is a drier...and it's just something that gives you the flavor of pecan pie, but not as sweet and gooey. My concern using a larger muffin pan is that there would be a larger amount of "drier filling" and it might not be as good. One thing that does occur to me though...is rather than try and make filled regular sized muffin cups is that you could make them shallow...say, only cup up about 1/3 of the way with the crust batter, thus adding less filling -- you would still have more surface area though, that might try them out a bit. You can try it...if you had any sugar free maple syrup, you might want to add a couple tablespoons or so of that to the filling mixture to add more moisture (to compensate for the extra surface area). You would probably want to check them at the same time mark of the mini version (maybe start checking a few minutes beforehand). If you decided to try it with the larger, not filled up muffin cups...let me know how they turn out!

It's just so messy pouring it out of a bottle! I will have to keep my eye out for a dropper to try. Apple does sound like a great flavor -- just think, you could add apple flavor, walnuts and some cinnamon to your yogurt without the added sugar/fructose of real apples! Sounds pretty yummy to me, too! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-25952117786806531752013-06-06T21:57:09.939-04:002013-06-06T21:57:09.939-04:00Hi GGC,

There are no "additives" and it has a very nice flavor, but was dismayed when I got home and opened the box to find that they're using plastic bottles now. Well, I needed it for a recipe so I just kept it. Besides all the interesting flavors, the glass bottles are another reason why OliveNation products really interest me.<br /><br />I agree, extracts really should be sold with droppers. You can get glass droppers at some pharmacies and some health food stores (and probably on line, too, though I haven't looked for them yet.) If the Olive Nation bottles happen to be a standard size, perhaps the droppers would fit them. I'm going to give it a try whenever I get around to deciding which flavors to try first. Love your ambrosia combo! And for some odd reason, I'm intrigued by "Apple." :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-48588812602373190432013-06-03T12:36:45.511-04:002013-06-03T12:36:45.511-04:00Hi Carolyne!

I don't know what kind of plan you follow -- if it is WB, you aren't supposed to use it -- if you simply eat wheat, grain or gluten free and allow yourself natural sugars, etc. it would work fine. The link to the original recipe is underneath my wheat/grain/sugar free version. If you are going to use real maple syrup, you might want to follow the filling ingredients for that one (it would have one less egg and no maple extract). I hope that helps! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-35007404879963020842013-06-03T12:28:34.779-04:002013-06-03T12:28:34.779-04:00I cannot find Maple Extract, so could I use my won...I cannot find Maple Extract, so could I use my wonderful Canadian Maple Syrup instead?Carolynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-78441331573132016032013-06-02T22:13:20.818-04:002013-06-02T22:13:20.818-04:00Hi Barbara -- the sad thing is that I actually hav...Hi Barbara -- the sad thing is that I actually have a 2nd fridge in our garage -- and I still don't have enough room most of the time!

In addition to my recipes being gluten free, they are grain free too -- meaning I don't use the "gluten free baking mixes", etc. For me personally, removing grains has helped me tremendously, both with my triglycerides as well as weight. I hope you find some ideas here...and I do understand how overwhelming it can be when you first start out. We tend to focus on all that we "can't eat" rather than enjoy and embrace all that we can. I have tried to focus on all the foods that I can enjoy and try to make the most of them. There really is life after wheat...and a pretty good one at that!
