Apple Crisp

This was yummy. I saw a package of sugar free lemon Jello on my shelf and used half in the topping and half in the apples. Delicious!

Parfaits

The best purchase for this WW journey was 4 oz glass parfait cups. It gives us just the right amount for a sweet treat.

I love the little cookies from Trader Joe's, but you can switch them out for 1 point worth of cookie crumbles of any kind of cookie.

The combinations are endless, but these two are my favorites.

Peach Cobbler

Winner, winner... This was delicious. Served to company and everyone liked it.

Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

Kay and Jerry gave us Rhubarb. A search for recipes found a hot strawberry shortcake that I revised. It's delicious.

7 servings
1 Smartpoint

2 lbs. fresh or frozen strawberries
2 cups rhubarb cut in small pieces
7 tsp Truvia
1 tbsp cornstarch
Juice of one lemon
3/4 cup self-rising flour
A little less than 3/4 cup Fat Free Greek yogurt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Preheat the oven to 400°

Put strawberries, rhubarb, 2 TBS Truvia, and lemon juice into saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. When boiling mix cornstarch with a little water and add to fruit. Simmer to reduce. Pour into casserole dish.

Combine the flour, yogurt and applesauce in a mixing bowl and mix until just combined. Use a small cookie scoop to add the dough to the casserole dish with the strawberry mixture.

Combine the remaining 1 teaspoon of Truvia and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the biscuits. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned.

Remove the pan from the oven and let it stand for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Banana Pumpkin Muffins

Anything in the Refrigerator Muffins

These are delicious. Just right with a salad for lunch. 1 Freestyle pt for one. 3 pts for two.

In my book, "Enough Kindness to Fill an Empty Heart" Rebecca calls this the Anything in the Refrigerator Muffin.  I love baking this muffin.  I've used many different combinations:

zucchini and carrots
zucchini and black cherries
carrots and applesauce
carrots and blueberries
peaches and blueberries

Sometimes I only add one egg, depending on how wet the ingredients are when I mix them all together.  Sometimes I bake them for 60 minutes instead of 50 and even leave them in the oven when they are done for awhile.  This is a very forgiving recipe.

When they are cool I turn them upside down on a cooling rack until the bottom dries.  Then I put them in a Rubbermaid container with paper towel on the bottom and in between layers.  I store them in the refrigerator and we have one or two for a night snack warmed up with Reddi Whip.  It makes for a delicious snack.  1 muffin is 1 point - 2 muffins are 3 points.

Cheesecake

This is really good cheesecake.

Preheat oven to 350°
Spray pie dish with Pam

3 cups FF Greek Yogurt  (I use Fage because it is so thick and creamy)
3 eggs
1 TBS Vanilla
1 TBS Truvia or other sweetener
1  small pkg  (3.4 oz) Jello Pudding Cheesecake flavor
Optional 1/4 cup PB2

Note: For chocolate cheesecake change PB2 to chocolate PB2, 1/2 chocolate pudding and 1/2 cheesecake pudding mix, and add 1/4 c Hershey cocoa.

Mix all Ingredients. Pour into pie dish. Smooth out the top to be even. Bake 30 minutes. Turn off oven and let cool in unopened oven. Cover with plastic or press and seal and refrigerate several hours or overnight. We like it with fresh blueberries.
