Aunt JoAnn's Raspberry Dessert

Low-Fat Pumpkin Pie

My husband loves pumpkin pie. In fact, I know he likes to have one pie all to himself at Thanksgiving. :lol: I have been making this pumpkin pie for a couple of years now, and it never gets old. This recipe is not only perfect for re-feeds, its also a great alternative to the traditional pumpkin pie because it tastes like the 'real' thing (in my husbands words). When used with my fat-free pie crust, you have a slice for around 130 calories versus 320 calories (give or take).
Not that there is much to show in the video, I still decided to video it. I had a little helper this time ;)read more 9 comments

Don't Drink Your Calories

Did you know that the average person’s beverage daily consumption equals about 20% of their total caloric intake?

I don’t know about you, but drinks just don’t cut it for me. Outside of a protein shake, I would much rather chew my food.  Are ya with me?

So what have you had to drink so far today? A glass of orange juice? Or did you drive-thru your favorite coffee chop chain and get your favorite coffee drink? I’ll admit that on cold mornings a hot cocoa sure does sounds tempting.  Or maybe you have been dying to try the pumpkin latte at Starbucks. Just remember, its going to cost you.
