They tasted delicious. I have made these a couple times and had a request to make them for a party I am going to so that must be a good sign!!

I did add and change a couple things like adding spelt flour and ground flax to the base as well as using brown sugar and a little fresh orange juice in the filling. I didn't have lemon zest so I used orange zest which worked well too. I am also going to try your Tsao's chicken recipe tonight . Glad I found this site. Awesome ideas and yummy stuff.

What ingredients are you using "light" versions of?

Flax meal maybe? Or would it alter the outcome too much? By the way I love your recipes and that you always include the nutritional info. is very helpful. Thank you.

I will add these to my pile of recipes that I can feed to my full fat eating friends as well as my calorie conscience ones. The only thing is I did not get the same NI as you did. Do you use light butter? Other than that I don't know what else could have made the difference. I got almost double what you did. I made these last night and they were WAY GOOD!
