Hate fruitcake? Or want a different take on the traditional baked fruitcake? Then you'll love this easy-to-make and delicious alternative!
This baked pumpkin tastes and looks as good as pumpkin pie only without the sugar or fat. It has the same firmness as pie filling. You won't even miss the crust. It's wonderful as a substitute for Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.
You may reduce the measurements by half if you want to make less but this is so delicious that you'll want to have leftovers for snacks or to use as a side vegetable.
When you need a good dose of peanut butter and chocolate!
3 Pts for 1 Slice with Nuts, or 2 Pts for 1 Slice using 1/2 C. chopped walnuts instead of 1 C.
2 Pt for 1 Slice without Nuts.

This makes about 6 quarts. I figure 1 quart per 9" pie, cut into 8 pieces each makes 48 servings.
Low sugar alternative to the real thing. Great for those of us with a sweet tooth.
Healthy- fibrous dessert, snack, or side dish- packed with vitamins and good for children and diabetics- good source of potassium.
adapted f/ Simply in Season Cookbook. A rich cake--great for special occasions. Please note that this recipe makes 16 servings--this is a very rich cake, so a small slice is totally satisfying (I've even cut it into 24 servings before with no complaints). It's a rich, satisfying dessert despite it's simplicity (or maybe because it's so simple!). Of course, the ganache filling can be skipped, if you prefer another. I generally frost the cake with a simple cream cheese frosting (recipe not included). Depending on how thick you make the filling layer, you may have extra ganache, which can either be drizzled over the cake OR you can let it chill till almost hard, roll it into balls, roll in cocoa powder, and viola! you have truffles.
Blueberries in greek yogurt, drizzled with honey. Delicious and refreshing.
My children ask for this one over ice cream!
This is a substitute for that yummy marshmallow/cream cheese fruit dip that is popular
A delicious homemade pie, this recipe only makes enough dough for a bottom crust, I don't add a top layer to my pies in order to keep the calories & the carbs at a reasonable level. Since there is no top layer of pie crust I usually add some fresh raspberries for visual appeal.
I took the original recipe and added lighter ingredients. I loved them and I hope you do too!
Dressed up to the nines in white and dark chocolate tuxedos!
This cooked frosting recipe is the best, fluffiest frosting and isn't too sweet, too buttery, or too sugary - the perfect balance. Recipe by "Can You Stay For Dinner" blog
Less than 200 calories per serving, and can be even better if you use low-fat or non-fat dairy products. Try switching up the pudding flavors to get a different dessert each time you make it!
Finally, a strawberry cake that doesn't call for gelatin or pre-packaged cake mix! Yes, I do bake with butter, but feel free to sub margarine if you so desire.
Note about using cake flour: You can use all-purpose flour in place of cake flour, substituting 2T cornstarch for 2T AP flour for each cup used (in this recipe, you will use 4.25 T cornstarch and remove 4.25 T AP flour from the measurements listed). Sift, sift sift your dry ingredients!
This tastes great with a lemon icing, or topped with some homemade glaze made with fresh strawberries, cornstarch, a little Splenda or sugar.
A delicious pumpkin pie that is also good for you! Great for diabetics and anyone else watching their sugar, starch and carbohydrate intakes.
