However, with life turning things upside down as it can do, I had to change my email address and couldn't remember who all I was following. I really wanted to make this recipe this year because it is. the. best. fruitcake. ever! I haven't made it for years and suddenly find myself craving it. LOL<br /><br />I lost my printed out copy... So I thought I'd try to find you again..And here you are! WAHOO! <br /><br />Folks, I have to tell you this is the World's BEST Fruitcake EVER! I hated fruitcake. It was the most disgusting thing I'd ever tasted, until I saw this recipe eons ago. It actually looked good. I made it and was soooo delighted. I've made it several times and given it to people who, like myself, hated fruitcake. This recipe has changed many people's minds about fruitcake.<br /><br />Thank you so much, Bryanna, for having this here. I can't wait to make it... More than that, I can't wait to taste it again! ;)<br /><br />It's good to read your posts again. I miss hearing about your adventures in your cabin and the beautiful pictures you'd post. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-19502985784398198512014-11-06T07:57:26.025-08:002014-11-06T07:57:26.025-08:00So glad you like it, Abby!So glad you like it, Abby!Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-65326951793144791252014-11-06T06:32:02.553-08:002014-11-06T06:32:02.553-08:00I made the fruitcake yesterday with slight changes...I made the fruitcake yesterday with slight changes.

If you are GF, a GF flour mix might be better. If you make all the other changes you suggested above as well I don't know how it will turn out. You will have to experiment with a smaller version of the recipe and see how it works out because, basically, you are creating a new recipe.<br />Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-4712098833875767762014-10-29T19:25:25.810-07:002014-10-29T19:25:25.810-07:00Can I use intant oats grind into powder.

Yes, you can make your roux with Earth Balance, which is a non-hydrogenated, cold-pressed, goof-tasting spread you can get at Thrifty's or Edible Island (most vegans I know use that instead of butter), OR you can use olive oil.<BR/><BR/>I have 2 vegan gumbo recipes I can email you to use for ideas for "veganizing" your own recipe. I use browned flour instead of roux, to use less fat, but you can substitute roux for the browned flour if you wish.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-45181532105531722432008-12-20T20:11:00.000-08:002008-12-20T20:11:00.000-08:00hmmm I think I'm going to make the biscotti fr...hmmm I think I'm going to make the biscotti from the last post YUMMM!!!<BR/>It makes me smile that your snow pics look like the ones on my blog - rustic island home, unexpected snow, prayer flags...(:<BR/>xo<BR/>Bronwyn<BR/><BR/>ps on a different topic, how would you make a vegan roux?
