This is a delicious, light, refreshing dessert. It's low cal and sugar and can be made with the lite pie filling in any flavor. Note that this needs to be made the night before to soften the graham crackers.

These are really good paired with potato salad! You can also add onions or green peppers if you'd like.

Spruce up regular old granola with chocolate--and an extra 7 grams of protein! Eat it with milk, use as a topping for yogurt, or snack on it plain!

They don't taste beany, but they are almost like fudge. Might need even more baking powder. I also threw in a dash of cinnamon, and few drops of hazlenut syrup.

I did have one roommate say they tasted like refried beans, but that's only because I told him the ingredient list before he ate them. Everyone who I didn't mention the black beans too commented on how rich and yummy they were!

I will admit though, this recipe needs some more tweaking. Caloric values based on tiny brownies (I cut up my pan 5x5 for 25 brownies at less than 100 calories each, if you cut 4x4 and have 16 brownies they're closer to 150 each)

"Vanilla extract" usually isn't made with real vanilla. The good news is that it's really easy--and affordable--to make your own.

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

Gravy gets a bad rap, but this tasty sauce can be made with almost no fat.

Whole wheat bread gives this side staying power. The fruits and vegetables bulk up the dish, so a little goes a long way. A bit of turkey bacon adds another layer of flavor without adding many calories.

This is a great dessert that's delicious when strawberries are in season.

This easy recipe combines a 1 ounce package of your favorite flavor of Jello Sugar Free Fat Free instant pudding with 32 ounces of plain nonfat yogurt for a half cup treat with a little yogurt zip. There are many variations on this idea. This is one that worked well for me.

This is just a trial I will update after I try it. FYI...I have little pans...Make twice as much for 9 inch pan. I use small round pyrex to make individual cakes. It only took about 30 minutes to cook it that way.

I tried it now!
FABULOUS!!!

I like to divide this into snack size bags for a quick, ready-to-go snack on the run. Keeps me from hitting the fast food! This has less fat & sodium than a bag of chips from the vending machine at work. :)

Whether you're suffering from nausea, heartburn, or just in need of a cool and refreshing snack or breakfast idea, this is the perfect nutritious pick-me-up. Leftover shake can be frozen in pop molds or 5 ounce paper cups with popsicle sticks.

The pumpkin and control over the ingredients makes this really nutritious for you--no processed bars from a box!
