Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Squares
Just imagine. Creamy pumpkin pie and luscious cheesecake rolled into one — all for only 90 calories, the carbohydrates of 1/2 a slice of bread, and 3 little points per serving. What’s not to love? I guarantee you, these layered beauties are sure-fire crowd-pleasers. Make and serve them straight out of […]
Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Low in fat and calories, but rich and creamy in taste and texture, this consistently top-rated quick-fix soup is perfect for when those comfort-food goodness cravings strike! My husband always grabs a few saltines – which he crushes over the top to create a “crust” – but it’s also fun […]
Apple Pie in a Bag
Let’s face it, during the holiday season a lot of us (okay, most of us) throw caution to the wind when it comes to our diet. Calories, fat, sugar…who cares? I get that. As the step-mother of someone who has diabetes with many weight watcher friends and fans – and […]

Cranberry Chutney

If you have never had chutney, it’s a condiment often made with fruit that includes vinegar and sugar resulting in a relish with the sweet & sour flavor combination so many of us love. This chutney […]

Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
Who doesn’t love a good seasonal pancake breakfast? Unfortunately, with their oodles of calories and countless carbs, the seasonal dessert-style pancakes you find at most restaurants are no way to start any one’s day. Take for example the popular Cinnamon Roll Pancake Breakfast at Denny’s. The two pancakes layered with […]
