Food Network: 'Big Daddy's House'

This past Sunday, was the first time saw chef, Aaron McCargo Jr., he blew me away with these recipes:

Braised Pork Shanks with Mushroom Dumplings
Creamed Peas with Crispy Shallots
Kicked Up Cherry Custard

And this one: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aaron-mccargo-jr/gnocchi-with-bacon-and-sweet-peas-recipe/index.html

Ok, ok - not healthy but, once in a blue moon can't hurt - right? :evilgrin:


I have a question regarding swapping apple sauce for oil in baking recipes. Are the measurements the same? 1 C. oil replace with 1 C. of apple sauce? Sounds tasty and from I'm reading recipes at the www.allrecipes.com site makes for a moister sweeter cake. What say you foodies?

1. I don't do it often but

you can replace the oil with applesauce in the same volume.

2. Thanks,

It's suppose to make the cake moister. I'll give it a try. A practice cake before company. It's a hardship but, I'll force myself. :)
