If you’re short on time, this big on flavor dessert is perfect to make.  So easy, quick and absolutely yummy!  This isn’t your ordinary strawberry shortcake either.  We’re starting with a store-bought fat-free angel food cake, adding fat-free vanilla pudding, Cool Whip, lots of fresh sliced strawberries, blueberries and drizzling a store bought strawberry glaze.  [...]

Sweet, juicy, watermelons are everywhere this time of year.  Many of us wouldn’t trade a slice of ice cold watermelon on a hot summer day for anything else!  Adding pureed watermelon to lemonade makes it a delightfully refreshing drink.  We’ve calculated the nutritionals and Weight Watchers POINTS made with sugar.   We’ve also done the [...]

We hate to admit it but we just love the original crunchy tacos at Taco Bell.  Although small in size, they are quite high in fat and not very healthy due to the fatty beef, regular cheese and shredded iceberg lettuce… We decided to try and recreate the same taste but make it a whole [...]

There’s nothing better than a home baked cake to make a get together memorable.  This light, luscious, lemony cake will surely delight everyone.  The robust tang of the lemon adds to the delicate crunch of the poppy seeds.  It doesn’t get simpler than making one of my “no time to bake cakes.”  I’m starting with [...]

Let’s face it, most turkey burgers taste, well, rather forgettable.  They’re dry, flavorless, and unremarkable.  Yet, we eat them because we want a healthier alternative to a decadent beef burger.  Great news-our BBQ Turkey Burger is nothing short of wonderful…It’s juicy, satisfying, and packed with a dreamy barbecue flavor.  The trick is making it moist.  [...]

There are probably as many ways to make coleslaw as there are cooks. In San Luis Obispo, I discovered the most delicious coleslaw at a barbecue joint called Mo’s.  Not only do they have the best ribs ever (definitely not skinny), they make a delicious crunchy slaw.  It’s not at all soggy like the typical [...]

Look no further…What makes this chicken the best is the incredible sauce!  We’ve shared other homemade BBQ sauces before but this one tops all the others. It’s a little sweet and a little spicy. You’ll notice one unusual ingredient on the list.  Root beer!  This ingredient really packs a punch with flavors of sassafras, sarsaparilla, [...]
