This is a simply amazing dessert fix for when you’re trying to shed the holiday pounds but love dessert! Here's the magic part - after the dessert sits long enough, the crackers taste exactly like a thin layer of phyllo dough! It’s important to get the salted kind of crackers, though – it makes a difference!
A low carb carrot cake, I used a little honey (1 tbs), but you can use any sweetener you choose.
We use this on pancakes, in oatmeal, over ice cream...the possibilities are endless!
Not very diet friendly, but much better than fudge! A special treat for holidays, just eat one!!
This is a slightly modified Hungry Girl recipe. Prep time is about 6-7 hours due to Jell-o setting time.
Originally from Joy of Cooking, I reworked this to lower the calories - still yummy!!
My breakfast staple. I have this (varying the berries) almost every day of the week in summer. Never fails to wake me up. Berries generally are fibre rich but for and additional fibre kick you can add a tablespoonful of bran.

7/raspberry-crumb-bars/. Even though I totally flaked out and forgot to bake the bottom crust for this (turns out you don't need to!), and the filling bubbled up like nothing else, the whole thing sets up as it cooled!
Strawberries are Ontario grown, rhubarb from my backyard behemoth!

![Hershey's Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies (1 serving = 1 cookie [24g])](https://sparkpeo.hs.llnwd.net/e4/nw/2/1/211506923.jpg)
This is a slightly modified version of the recipe on the back of a bag of Hershey cinnamon chips. They taste great and are plenty sweet.
The original recipe adds 1/3 cup granulated white sugar and 3/4 cup raisins. Butter was used in the nutrition calculation.
Everyone loves this cake. I make it healthier by cutting the fat with applesauce. I personally do not like to use the artificial sugars; but you could further reduce calories that way.
Also, the original recipe calls for just a half a cup of chocolate chips; but I did the nutritional info for a whole cup sprinkled over the top.
Here's a great low-fat way to kick-start your morning or get that much needed afternoon boost.
This fluffy cake turns traditional strawberry shortcake upside-down (literally)! It's a much quicker option than making individual shortcakes. We love it topped with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Pepperidge Farm Recipe
These Napoleons can be served immediately or covered and refrigerated for up to 4 hours.
I developed this lower fat version of my favourite moist lemon polenta cake which uses fat free yogurt instead of butter! Less than 200 cals and 1g of saturated fat per generous slice. It is also naturally gluten free.
