This is a neat twist on your traditional pumpkin loaf - ginger ale gives it a touch of sweetness and extra "oomph" and with only 3 tablespoons of added fat you won't mind that second slice.
Rusty's carrot cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a easy dessert that can be prepared in about 1 hour. It takes around 10 minutes to prep, and 40 minutes to cook. Cooling time is 10 minutes. It produces around 4 servings.
This makes a great muffin that has a lot of texture and a wonderful mild flavor.
Makes 24 regular muffins or 50 mini muffins.
Can make into apple muffins if add 1 cup more flour for double recipe.
A classic bread dressing that we make every year. Don't skimp on the ingredients, it's healthier than it sounds. (And it's thanksgiving!)
This is an old-timey recipe from my husbands mom. I made it for the first time this year, and it's a good way to add some more nutrition to a calorie loaded dressing!
This is a low-fat, low-sugar version of my family's favorite banana bread. I have substituted canned pumpkin for the traditional shortening and Sugar Twin brand sweetener for the white sugar. I've also used whole wheat flour to replace about 60% of the white flour, and Morton Lite Salt to lower the sodium..
I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 280 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!
