A can of Ocean Spray Cranberry sauce, whole or gel, is 110 calories for a 1/4c. There has to be a better way! There is! Try this for your thanksgiving table!

I love a good hearty breakfast on a cold morning. With this recipe, I can have my comfort food and still keep calories low

Adapting to make it sugar- and fat-free. Love me some banana bread!

Yum! A guilt-free snack or meal!

Mix yogurt and dry pudding mix. Gently fold in Cool Whip, then the fruit. Serve!

A nice indulgence, lower in calories than store bought!

I will use Low fat sausage, skim milk and fat free cheese next time!

Baking a cake for my diabetic husband (her Dad), my daughter and fellow Sparker Molly1990 developed this recipe.

Great for Easter dinner!

Sometimes I just need a chip, don't you? These are great without the guilt.

A little extra protein for the day!

Looked for this recipe for a couple of years. Finally found it!

High calories! Use caution!

Make this as thin or thick as you like by varying the amount of water that you use.

Yummy way to get your seasonal favorite taste without the sugar!

Just try it!

This is a great on-the-go breakfast

Very good with waffles, or muffins, or bread or angel food cake (shown) or.....

When you need just a little taste of chocolate!

Oh, what a delicious treat!

Fast and delicious! They are a little messy though, for car snacks, as the phyllo crumbles.

Still not diet food, but portion controlled

Yeah, I eat the whole batch!

This might be called the "Chunky Monkey, but if you eat this instead of a high calorie dessert you will be anything BUT chunky!

Easy, fast, delicious!

These are amazing. Think of them as meal replacements, not just dessert or snack!

Fast and delicious. My husband is a carnivore, but likes this chili! My (adult) children get cravings for it!

This was my first attempt at making biscotti and I am hooked. Now I have to work at 'skinnying' it up!

This is so festive for Christmas and easy to make

No added sugar and no fat, this is a dream muffin!

I love banana bread, but the usual 1c butter just over loads my calories for the day. I trimmed even more fat by using egg substitute instead of whole eggs and cut the sugar by using Brown Sugar Twin. You could substitute Splenda instead. I upped the fiber content by using Flax for part of the flour. This is more like a dough than a batter. Expect it to be thick!

Made super easy, low cal and fat-free! Comfort food without the guilt.

This is great for Thanksgiving or anytime. You decide if it is a side dish or dessert!

I like my chili with meat only or beans only; don't mix them! This is my meat-free chili.

I love this on a hot summer day. My problem is in limiting myself!

This is an easy go-to when hungry.

Nice to have in a crock pot at the end of a long fall day.

Out of pumpkin? No worries! Sweet potatoes (yams) make a great substitute!

Even though many of us try to shy away from butter, it is far healthier for us than margarine and transfats. Furthermore, the Vitamin A in carrots is a fat soluble vitamin, which means you need to tke fat with it to utilize the vitamin. It tastes good, too!

A traditional Mexican dish, you can substitute any meat for this or a combination of meats. The heat is a metabolism blaster, too!

My grandkids love these and I have found they make a great late night healthy snack.

I really don't like vinegar or any sour (as my husband calls 'tangy') foods. Give me Cole Slaw along the lines of KFC! I have been eating a lot of this since starting my new fitness program.
