Recipe Of The Day! Fall Baked Maple Apples

This fall bounty includes apples, walnuts (I like pecans), and maple syrup. All three come together in this super-fragrant dessert. It's that time of year again, Apple-picking season. If you are like me you will find you have too many apples on your hands after a weekend of apple-picking with your kids and family. Here is a nice recipe to use up some of the apples. Makes for a low calorie desert. Apples are loaded with fiber, the soluble kind that helps lower blood cholesterol. Maple syrup, cinnamon and just a bit of butter bathe baked apples in a luscious warm sauce. YUMMMM... ENJOY!!   Prep Time:10 min Start to Finish:50 min   makes:4 servings 140 Calories per 1 serving   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Recipe Of The Day! Easy Cooking Cheese Ravioli With Pumpkin Sauce

Think “out of the box” with this recipe…pumpkin isn’t just for pies anymore! Used in any dish, soups, stews and more, canned pumpkin adds beta carotene (vitamin A) and fiber. As the perfect thickening ingredient in creamy sauces, canned pumpkin can take the place of most higher fat ingredients (butter or cream) for a dish with less total fat, saturated fat and calories. My husband and family could not believe that the sauce was a pumpkin sauce they loved this dish and so do I. This dish will have your mouth doing a dance of happiness ENJOY!!   Makes Servings: 6 Per Serving 240 calories: Cheese Ravioli with Pumpkin Sauce   Preparation Time: Approximately 15 minutes Cook Time: Approximately 25 minutes   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

RECIPE OF THE DAY! BLUEBERRY & PEACH COBBLER

Low calorie, Low cholesterol, Low sodium, Healthy weight.   This is a healthier version of a traditional cobbler, with canola oil in place of some of the butter and whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Unlike more classic biscuit-topped cobblers, the peaches and blueberries are nestled into a tender batter that swells around the fruit as it bakes. Other fruits may be substituted. It's especially beautiful when baked in and served right from a cast-iron skillet. Just made it yesterday for some company and it was a hit. It's really good and guilt free!
