Good with Fruit Salsa (Strawberry, Kiwi, Pineapple, Peach, and lime juice)
Cheesecakes baked without ricotta are sub par in my opinion, so I came up with this recipe after much experimenting.
"Rustic" in this case means there is no water bath, no effort to make it look perfect. It looks and tastes like it's been baked by "a hippie in the mountains of Vermont"
The original version of this cake has 35 grams of fat per slice when whole fat cheeses and when a lot of butter is used. This version has 14 grams of fat yet does not compromise creaminess, firmness, and taste.
made this recipe up, by reading other recipe's on sp. I cooked mine on 400 on the middle rack, but you may want to try 350.
I made this with one part full fat cream cheese but think all three fat free cream cheese would be just as good. We call in "crack" because its so addicting!
Moist, delicious, easy and fast to make. Nutritious, low fat and low calories/Kj. You won't believe there's no butter. You could have two pieces as your lunch. Guilt free indulgence!
I've been looking for something to keep with me for when I've let myself get busy and forgotten to eat. As I was looking through recipes for granola bars, nearly all of them had problems. Some had too much chocolate and would melt in this Florida heat. Some had too much sugar or added fats. Some were just plain boring! So I improvised a few things and this is what I came up with. The applesauce really binds the bars together well if it's done right! These are not low calorie, but as I struggle to eat enough calories, my main concern here was making sure to include as many nutrients as possible.
Stash these wherever you think you might need them: in your gym bag, kids lunches or sports/dance bag, in the car, before heading to the beach or on a long walk... very handy and way better for your body than all the preservatives and processed junk in commercial granola bars. Give yourself something tasty and nutritious for your new lifestyle.

This recipe I tossed together to have my own salsa and use up all the tomatoes in my house. Tastes great with multigrain tostidoes chips!
this is a great low fat alternative to toll house cookies...my kids loved these
from the jessica seinfield cook book...
for the purees i try to find them in the baby food aisle as a short cut...
A couple of my friends were doing the south beach diet and I found this recipe to make when they come over. My kids like these.
This is very quick and easy to make and nice to have for guests who "drop in" for coffee.
Freezes well.
This is so yummy!!! I made these for my kids when the were little and the still love them now that they are in their teens! They are fun and easy to make and taste wonderful!
Have a hard time getting a bit of protein? Need a "sweet" snack that's better for you than a candy bar? These nuts will hit the spot!
This is a powerful yet light breakfast and/or snack wrap. You can add whatever spices you want to suit your own taste. But this is a high protein, high fiber, low fat, low carb, yummy filling breakfast or snack, for less than 220 calories!
Great to throw in the purse for when you (or the kids) get hungry when out and about. Better the the real thing. Delicious! My 4 year old goes crazy for these!
