Going Light on Strawberry Cream Tart
I enjoy cooking healthy and light. A favorite place for me to try recipes is Cooking Light. I even try to go lighter then their light. In this recipe I substituted most the sugar for Splenda Sugar Blend and used Land O Lakes Light Butter. I simply left out the almonds in the crust because of family preference.
So check out my version of Strawberry Cream Tart recipe from Cooking Light’s Strawberry Almond Cream Tart May 2010 issue. If you are a diabetic, my site will give you hope that you can make desserts that are low in sugar and high in taste. Let me know what you think and enjoy the season of strawberries.
Sugar N’ Spice Nuts
Recipe: Sugar N’ Spice Nuts
Summary: Nuts with a sweet and spicy kick. This is a treasured find from a holiday edition Taste of Home . Great for giving as a gift, in a gift basket or serving during the Fall football games and Christmas holidays. I make mine on my baking stone and it seems to work the best.
Recipe Review: Espresso Brownies
Recipe: Espresso Brownies
Recipe REVIEW: These Espresso Brownies are courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis. A nice mocha coffee taste is hinted in the brownies and really comes through with the glaze.
My Modifications: Reduce the Fat: egg substitute and canola oil. I made my own espresso in our coffee grinder and saved $. Simply grind coffee beans to a fine powder. I also cut back on the espresso in both the brownies and glaze. For the brownies I used 1 tablespoon and for the glaze I used 1 teaspoon for espresso.This made the coffee flavor present but not over powering. I knew my daughter would not eat them if they had a heavy coffee flavor. She loved them. I also cut back on the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup. I even thought 1/2 teaspoon Kahlua and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla would be better than a whole teaspoon of vanilla. Make recipes to your taste. Try It, You’ll Like It!
