This is a sugar free version of My mothers famous bean salad. I use Splenda in order to make this sugar free but you could use any sugar substitute of your choice it doesnt have to be Splenda. It is very IMPORTANT to rinse the canned beans very...VERY well this will help reduce the sodium per serving by almost half as the beans are packed in a sodium based slime.....rinse very well and you can divide the soduim per serving by at least half.

Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.

From cooks.com adapted with olive oil and country crock instead of butter. Could use less of each or just one. I cook in cast iron and tend to need a little more. Juice of one lemon for less tangy flavor, two as written here.

This citrusy rice contains almonds, celery, and onions, but no added salt for a flavorful low sodium side dish.

Sweet and Sour cole slaw. Low fat. Great with barbque, hotdogs. Keeps a couple of weeks- as much a pickle as a salad.

You can use this as a salad or appetizer. It makes 16 appetizer servings with corn chips, or 8-10 side dish servings. It gets rave reviews at picnics!

Surprisingly moist and delicious use of that bag of apples you have laying around every Fall! I haven't tried using all applesauce instead of the oil, but that could work though bake time/temp may need adjusting.

This cake begs to have fat free caramel drizzled over top, or whipped cream, or anything really. The original recipes calls for a cooked butter/sugar/cream mixtured spooned over top, but it's frighteningly calorie-laden.

This is a great recipe that can be experimented with. I thought it was good as is. You can Try adding thyme, marjoram, a bayleafor two, ect. Or, for the best and easiest, substitue a good, proven barbecue rub for beef, like Heiffer Dust, which won "Best Rub" at the American Royal a year or two back and is available commercially.

There are so many ways to make dressing, so I have combined several of the recipes that I have and come up with this one. Instead of using the canned chicken broth you can use homemade if you're making a chicken to go with this, and you can also add the shredded cooked chicken to the stuffing before baking.
