Weigth Watchers Apple Pie Recipe

One slice of this apple pie will not only satisfy your apple pie craving but at 4 Weight Watchers points it will not ruin your diet. September is the month we all are thinking apple which leads to plenty of apple pies. I make several a year for my family. I will admit I only like apples in the raw. I never cared much for cooked apples and cannot see why one would harm a precious little apple with all that sugar and carbohydrates. Of course, ask me about chocolate chip cookies or cheesecake and I may have memory loss … Continue reading →

Posted on by

So many of us who are trying to lose weight look for healthy alternatives in sweetening our world. One alternative that we often look to is the very natural and seemingly healthy honey.

Abandon the Pumpkin Pie: Pumpkin Mousse in Cinnamon Pastries

This recipe comes, relatively unaltered, from the good folks at Nestle. In fact, (dare I say it), that the absolute best recipes come on the back of boxes and cans.

And aside from grandma’s heirloom recipes, they pretty much do come up with the tastiest ways to incorporate their product into your cooking. But back to the Abandon the Pumpkin Pie series. I love … Continue reading →

Apple Streusel Cobbler

Okay, I admit it. Sometimes I bake just to make my house smell good. Can you really blame me? I’ve had an infant in residence for at least eight years. That’s eight years of dirty diapers. Come to think of it, for at least six of those years, we’ve had two or more in diapers. Seriously, I think I deserve a little smelly goodness from the oven. This is one of my favorite “make your home smell good recipes” because it uses canned pie filling so its super easy to make. Whenever I bring this to potlucks people devour it … Continue reading →
