These colorful old-fashioned sugar cookies are crispy, delicate and buttery tasting. And, I’m using just a small amount of reduced-fat butter combined with canola oil. Each skinny, mini cookie has 37 calories, less than 1 gram of fat and 1 Weight Watchers POINTS. Although I like sugar cookies crispy, if you like them soft, bake [...]
There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of homemade oatmeal in the morning. It fills you up for hours. I’ve added a flavorful step of toasting the oats first before cooking in boiling water. In addition, I’m adding creamy vanilla soy milk, vanilla, cinnamon and fiber rich berries to create a wonderful flavor. Made this [...]
I love the flavor of honey baked hams. They’re usually basted in fruit juices and then glazed with a mixture of brown sugar and honey. To make my version skinnier, I started with a precooked, spiral cut ham from Trader Joe’s. Happily, it’s uncured which means nitrate-free! In addition, I’m using much less honey and [...]

Don’t you just love a good tuna sandwich? Such a popular sandwich most of us have enjoyed since we were kids. Many of us think that if we order a tuna sandwich in a restaurant, it’s the healthiest, low fat choice, right? The fact is, most restaurants prepare it using oil packed tuna and gobs [...]
This nostalgic cake has been popular since the 1950’s. It’s a true Southern treat and a soul food favorite. It’s so moist with just enough lemon-lime flavor without being overpowering. Adding soda to a cake instead of water creates a light and airy consistency. I’m starting with a mix and making it skinny by using [...]
I’m talking real Italian comfort food here. Most Italian sauces take hours simmering on the stove top. Not here…The beauty of this fabulous, fiber rich pasta dish is that it’s flavorful sauce comes together in about 30 minutes. In fact, this meal is mostly sauce chock full of vegetables, served over a little spaghetti. It’s [...]
Move over French fries… Well not exactly, but these do make a tasty alternative to regular fries. Although parsnips have been largely ignored in this country, this creamy white root is worth trying. Their sweet, nutty, peppery flavor can’t be equaled. After a frost, parsnips’ starch turns to sugar making them especially delicious this time [...]
Most Americans love chili! It’s a one pot wonder that’s both hearty and satisfying. This however, is not your typical chili recipe…Not only will chili fans enjoy this, even people who don’t usually like chili seem to like this Italian inspired one. Most chili is seasoned with chili powder but I’m using Italian dried seasoning, [...]
