i made my own applesauce for this in my blender with the peel. I couldn't find it in the search so I used the next best thing, but I'm sure it would make a difference. I also sprinkle in some bran for added "kick" lol

Pumpkin bread with a bit of banana for moistness. This was invented when one can of pumpkin was too much for one batch, but not enough for a double. A couple of tired bananas solved my problem!

This is a great recipe for those that can't be trusted with ice cream in the house. It doesn't sound like it would be all that good, but it really is. Totally worth a try. It reminds me of a Wendy's frosty, but I think it is better for you and more fun to customize yourself.

This is a great way to get some of the nuritious value of tofu into picky kids who won't touch it otherwise! You can make it lighter with less fat if you substitute Splenda for the sugar and 1/2 c. Egg Beaters for the 2 eggs.

Straight from the HG cookbook but I added a little twist of my own with torani sugar free syrups!! FYI HG's recipe says it serves 12 but I filled the ice cube tray slots and got 9. Adjust serving size according to your split!
