Alrighty! We started this journey with some homemade sweet potato puree. Then we ventured onward to make this sweet potato souffle recipe. Here are the photos of the first recipe…
Yes, that topping tastes as decadent as it looks. Recall that I swapped out the Splenda brown for some Joseph’s maple flavored maltitol syrup. This [...]

Devilishly Chocolate Reduced Sugar Bundt Cake
Posted by Vicky on October 26th, 2009
On Sunday my father came over for a lovely prime rib dinner with my wonderful husband and I. We ate heartily, and then we settled in to switch between the baseball playoffs and the late football game. It was a pleasant evening.
I have several recipes from that meal to blog about, but I’m [...]
Sweet Carrot Sauce
Posted by Vicky on October 23rd, 2009
A few weeks ago, I saw a recipe for Carrot Curd on Anatomy of a Dinner Party . Never heard of it… didn’t really know what the hell a curd was apart from a cheese by-product… but it looked darn good, and I have been dying to make a “lighter” version of it ever since. [...]

A Very Serious Topic
Posted by Vicky on October 3rd, 2009
I won’t be blogging a recipe today. Mostly because I got started late on my Slow Cooker Navy Bean Soup, and it won’t be ready until late tonight. But also because there is a very serious topic I feel obligated to talk about.
Chocolate… CHOCOLATE… CHOCOLATE !!!
As I started cleaning out my kitchen and [...]
Pumpkin Surprise
Posted by Vicky on October 2nd, 2009
I thought twice about blogging this one. I adore this recipe, but a version of it exists on just about every diet forum in existence. However, this is the beauty of it… it’s that easy. Incredibly easy. Give something resembling a bowl to a monkey, and the monkey could make it [...]

Posted by Vicky on October 1st, 2009
Today, I bring you another recipe that will hopefully allow you to enjoy things you might otherwise have to miss in life. This time, we’ll cover the topic of fudge.

Posted by Vicky on September 30th, 2009
This recipe was inspired by my friend Joni who is experimenting with donut recipes. She bought a cute little donut pan and everything. I don’t have one yet, so I just made sweet muffins out of them. Don’t go into these expecting a Krispy Kreme, but they’re really nice and sweet enough [...]

Whelp… this one was born from a silly mistake. My intention was to make Pumpkin Protein Muffins. It wasn’t until I had a few ingredients already in the mixing bowl that I realized I picked up a can of pumpkin pie filling vs. pure pumpkin puree. I’ve never in my life used [...]
