Are you a Cheesecake, Cobbler or Chocolate and Fruit kind of girl?

Absolutely Fabulous Cheescake (almost)

1 serving

1 left over baked sweet potato

1/2 c cottage cheese

cinnamon (to taste)

splenda or other no calorie sweetener (to taste)

apple pie spice (to taste)

pinch ginger


Betty Crocker also makes a sugar free graham cracker crust or you can just sprinkle some sugar free graham crackers blended in a blender on top if you love the graham part to a cheese cake and don't want to make the crust with a non-fat butter.


Blend together on high (w/ a hand blender)

Eat, or chill and then eat! This tastes exactly like cheesecake. 

I suppose you could also substitute canned pumpkin for the sweet potato as long as it’s just pumkin and not the pie filling. Also if you can afford the extra carbs (i can’t) you could add raisins! Yummy! 

TIP: Always keep a container of blended cottage cheese on hand. It’s uses are endless. You can use it on a sandwich in leau of mayo or on top of a Whole Wheat tortilla with tomato sauce baked up like a pizza. etc.


Fruity Crunchy Cobbler

1 serving

This can be a snack or a dessert.

3/4 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup granola (I prefer Trader Joe’s Mango Passion flavor)

1 Tblspn. Smucker’s Sugar free jelly ( I prefer strawberry)


Mix it all up and it tastes just like cheesecake, or a fruity cobbler.


Jello Chocolate Fruit Dip

15-20 Servings

1 large container plain fat-free yogurt

2 small boxes jello sugar-free instant pudding (any flavor, I prefer white chocolate or vanilla)


Mix both ingredients together, be sure it mixes well. Serve with bananas, apples, any fruit; it is delicious.
