This is adapted from the Joy of Cooking frosting recipe. It is creamy and decadent, without being too bad for you! I used regular cream cheese, but you could also use a lower fat version to cut some calories.
This is great for a potluck or a special occation.
Every time I bring this to a party it gets great reviews.

Makes enough to pour over the top with a few drizzles down the sides of a tube pan pound cake. I used Paula Deen's pound cake recipe.

These are a sweet and salty brownie that have been lightened up with applesauce instead of butter, 1/2 sugar and 1/2 stevia, and whole wheat flour for added nutrition

Amazing, moist gluten free banana bread that tastes just like the real thing! Delicious!
This started with a recipe I saw somewhere and made over to suit me. It is a great afternoon or evening snack or dessert. I suppose it could also be used for breakfast. Very filling. I make it up and split between my husband and myself.
My mom has been making these Chocolate Chip Cookies since I was a little girl and she added this recipe to my cookbook she helped make when I got married. SOOOO GOOD!!!! and who know they were under 85 calories each. I'm going to try them with Whole Wheat Flour and see how they turn out.
a lot healthier version of cherry garcia cookies. 1/2 the butter, lots more fiber, and whole wheat flour all add up to a better cookie. they also stay chewy due to the apple sauce and stevia.
This recipe creates a traditional South African tart (milk pie). It bakes very quickly in the microwave oven and is not overly sweet. The pie has a custard-like texture, but a very unique taste. It is lower in calories than any melktert I was able to find on the site (considering that I get 8 very large slices, or 28 small tarts from mine - my slices could probably be halved). Everybody I've ever served this too, loved it!
Pannekoek recipe for traditional South African pannekoek. South African pannekoek is a flat version of pancakes.

One night my husband wanted something sweet for a snack. These cookies fit the bill as all I had on hand was almond butter and coconut.
