I love cheesecake so I took several recipes and came up with this version. It is dense and tastes great, even my sons liked it. Yummy alone or with raspberries on top. Sugar free and low cal/fat. Makes 16 servings.

A great caramel / coffee glaze that forms over warm sauteed bananas makes for a great tropical treat on it's own or over vanilla yogurt or ice cream.

This is a copy of a copy cat recipe found on food.com, but made "skinnier" and healthier.

I love to use unsweetened cocoa powder in rubs for pork. It offers a great depth to the flavor.

This is a special treat! Young coconuts are extremely good for you - the juice and meat from one whole young coconut contains just 140 calories, and provides 17% of RDA for Calcium.

The best brownies you'll ever eat!

For a sexy desert to share with your special someone, try this luscious dark mocha desert that's as as easy to make as any instant pudding mix. This recipe makes four small servings at less than 100 calories each, or two very generous helpings at still less than 190 calories. Dust the whipped topping with cocoa, cinnamon, or nutmeg for a special final touch.

This is a decadent treat that's easy to make! Serve in martini glasses for a festive feel.

No one will ever know that the secret ingredient that makes these brownies virtually cholesterol free and low fat is black beans. Moist and dense, you'll never have to make package brownies again. Walnuts increase the calories to 112. The following recipe from Stealth Health: How To Sneak Nutrition Painlessly Into Your Diet, ©1998 by Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD was contributed by Marilyn Helton.

Italian Cookie

What an amazing, caffeinated lift to your day these little vanilla-coffee chews are... made with whole grains and dusted with chocolate sprinkles!

These are a wonderful, classic Italian crunchy cookie, that is great for anyone who is gluten- or wheat-free! As these sit, they get crunchy throughout. Delicious with any fruit dessert, paired with an ice cream sundae, or on their own with a strong espresso!

I love Starbucks' Mocha Frappuccino, but with 260 calories and 54 grams of carbs, it didn't fit into my new healthy lifestyle. So I transformed it into a delicious protein shake.

Start your day with a lighter version of a coffeehouse favorite.

Not as authentic as Starbucks, but and EASY, inexpensive way to get a nice coffee/chocolate fix without leaving home.
