Applesauce Cookies





Ingredients:


1 cup flour


1 teaspoon cinnamon


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 cup your favorite nuts


1 cup quick oats (not instant oatmeal)


1 cup raisins


1 cup applesauce


2 eggs


1/2 cup vegetable oil


1 teaspoon vanilla extract





Preparation:


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.


Mix the dry ingredients in the largest bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in the other bowl. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Blend them well.


Spoon the dough for these drop cookies onto the greased cookie sheets. Bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool before eating them.





Pineapple Fluff





Ingredients:


1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple packed in juice


1 box (1.1 ounces; 4 servings) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix


1 cup frozen fat-free nondairy whipped topping, thawed


2 tablespoons toasted unsweetened flaked coconut (optional)





Preparation:


In a bowl, combine the pineapple with juice, pudding mix, and whipped topping. Stir to mix completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set. Serve garnished with the coconut, if using.





Orange Dreamsicle Delight





Ingredients:


1 .3oz box of Orange Flavor Sugar Free Jello


1 1oz box of Fat Free Sugar Free Vanilla Instant Pudding


1 container of Cool Whip Free (8oz.)





Preparation:


Prepare Jello according to package directions by adding the hot and cold water. Stir in instant pudding powder mix (do not prepare as normal). I use a wire wisk to mix.


Fold in entire container of Cool Whip Free, and wisk until completely blended. Refrigerate for a few hours until set.


Note: You can also pour into ice cube trays and freeze, or into those popsicle molds that you freeze for a refreshing treat.





Frozen Lemon Cake





Ingredients:


1 cup Milk, evaporated, nonfat/skim


2 eggs, separated


1 tsp grated lemon rind


1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, divided


1/3 cup sweetener (sugar substitute), equal to 1/3 cup sugar


1/4 cup Cracker Crumbs, graham, plain





Preparation:


Freeze the evaporated skim milk in a 9-inch square baking pan, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, or until slushy.


Combine the egg yolks, lemon rind, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and sugar substitute. Beat with an electric mixture at medium speed until smooth and set aside.


In a large chilled bowl, combine the partially frozen milk and the egg whites. Beat with chilled beaters until foamy and then add the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice. Beat until stiff peaks form and then gently fold the yolk mixture into the milk mixture.


Pour the mixture into a baking pan and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. Cover and freeze the cake until firm, roughly 4 hours. Cut into squares to serve.


Note: This cool dessert is a great treat in the hot summer months.





You Won't Believe it's Not French Toast (Dare Ya)





Ingredients:


1/2 of a 3-oz. bag of unflavored pork rinds


2 eggs


1/4 cup heavy cream


3 packets Splenda


1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


1/2 teaspoon egg nog extract or vanilla extract





Preparation:


Crumble pork rinds up until they resemble bread crumbs (use your food processor if you like 鈥?or put them in a Ziploc bag, air removed, and roll them with a rolling pin.) Set aside.


Beat eggs well and then mix with remaining ingredients and beat again. Add crushed pork rinds to the egg/cream mixture and allow to sit for approximately 5 minutes. Mixture will thicken to a ';gloppy'; phase during this time.


Meanwhile, heat skillet or griddle with butter or oil, and when hot, fry pancake style until golden brown on both sides. Serve with low-carb maple syrup!


If you don't tell someone who eats them, they will never have a CLUE that these little french toast pancakes are made with pork rinds. And everyone loves 'em. Really. Yeah, really. Would I kid you?


Extremely Important Notes:


The pork rinds must be a good brand with an extremely bland taste. In my area there are 4-5 brands available, but only 2 of them are really ';puffy'; and contain very little pork-rindy-taste. They are Baken-ets (Frito-Lay's national brand) and Huffmann's (a local brand.) Rinds that are super crunchy don't work well for this. It's also important that they be very well crushed - just one step above dust.


Also - remember to let it really get to its ';gloppy'; phase and don't rush it. Plus, make sure the skillet is hot before you start adding the mix - with just enough oil to moisten bottom of pan but not enough to fry chicken in.


Lastly, while the egg nog extract is optional, it really adds something. If you don't have any, we suggest you substitute a vanilla, rather than just leaving it out.Anyone have any healthy dessert recipes? low sugar low fat?
These brownies taste so good, it is hard to believe they only have about 2 grams of fat per serving. Most people are pleasantly surprised by how good low fat brownies can taste.





* * *





The original recipe called for 2 cups of sugar, but I decreased the sugar, and cut out a few more calories without sacrificing the delicious taste. I like to use a little extra applesauce when I make it, too.





To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:


1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce


1 1/2 cup flour


1/3-1/2 cup baking cocoa powder


1/2 tsp. salt


1 egg


2 egg whites


1 1/2 cup sugar


1 tsp. vanilla


1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips





Preheat your oven to 350. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Then combine the flour, cocoa, and salt and add the flour mixture and chocolate chips to the egg mixture. Stir it just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Pour the batter into a 11x7 baking dish coated with nonstick spray. Bake 30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack. Enjoy!





Makes 15 bars.





Here are some variations you may want to try:


Leave out the chocolate chips and instead sprinkle crushed candy canes or other crushed candy on top. I used crushed mint candy canes, and it gave the brownies a subtle mint flavor!





Another hint: Cut the bars smaller. Not only do you get more servings, but each brownie has less fat per serving. (If you cut them smaller, don't make the mistake of thinking you can eat twice as many!)Anyone have any healthy dessert recipes? low sugar low fat?
I like to chop up some fruit, banana's, apples, oranges, etc. and top them with my favorite low or nonfat yogurt, and lightly sprinkle Cinnamon on it.


shredded coconut is always nice to add.
A good healthy dessert is homemade rice pudding. just decrease sugar in most recipes, and top with cinnamon.:)
