Good Ham Bean Soup
Very Good 4.3/5

Time to Pick a Bone
You can make a good ham and bean soup using just cubes of ham alone, but to get the best flavor you should use a ham bone. You can get your ham bone from the butcher, since they will often give them away or sell them very cheaply, or you can use a leftover bone from a ham that you have served for dinner.

If you are making a ham for dinner, then any leftover ham can be used in the soup as well. In fact, the best ham and bean soup recipes use both ham bones as well as cubes of ham.

No added fat except for the cooking spray needed on your baking sheet. Low flour. Use only egg whites. Tastes great. You can use splenda if you like to bring down the sugar content.

Ricotta and cream cheese cake with a sweet red berry topping; I have made this for my Husband every Valentine's since we've been together. I use a short heart shaped pan I got from my mother, but a regular spring form or short round pan will work just as well.

I absolutely love the taste of tiramisu cream, but I'm not a big fan of coffee. So, I experimented with a few different things until I found a flavor that I did like in it. Now I've changed the recipe to reduce the calorie content.

This cheesecake is a little unorthodox because it has no crust. However, it is incredibly delicious! You could make a crust with ground almonds, butter, sucralose, and cinnamon.

Sweet and Spicy Nuts

These are addictive. They're sweet, salty, spicy, and crunchy. Cut back on the sriracha/chili flakes to tame these fiery nuts. Use smoked (not hot or sweet) paprika.
