    While orange adds an exotic note, much of the flavor of this simple yet sophisticated candie comes from the chocolate, so choose a semisweet or bittersweet with a flavor and level of sweetness you enjoy. The recipe makes a big batch of truffles - plenty for gift-giving. Although they should be stored in the refrigerator, they're best served after sitting at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Believe it or not this is a low calorie treat. Well worth the time to prepare.

    Wondering what to do with that basket of apples you just brought home?
     
    Everyone always raves about this pie. You don't have to make pie crust! You can control the sweetness by the amount of strudel topping you use. So YUMMY you have to try this one and the calories are not bad either. Great dessert to server to your company. Easy and soooo good. ENJOY!!

    These are good any season but taste best on cold winter mornings. You can use canned or cooked fresh pumpkin.
    Whether you're looking for a festive, fall breakfast or simply an alternative to the ordinary pancake, Pumpkin Pancakes are the perfect solution. The sweet hint of brown sugar mixed with pumpkin spice makes for the perfect pancake. ENJOY!

    Simmer antioxidant-rich cherries in a quick pan sauce spiked with whiskey and cranberry juice; it's luscious on turkey tenderloin (a lean but flavorful, quick-cooking cut you might have overlooked in the poultry case). Make it a meal: Serve with vegetables.

    Diabetes appropriate, Low calorie, Low cholesterol, Heart healthy, Healthy weight,High potassium,High protein.
     
    This recipe is a great source of protein and potassium.
    I can also order this breakfast sandwich when am out with friends or family in a restaurant, it's a favorite of mine to make at home.
    Smoked salmon and egg whites on a toasted whole-wheat English muffin is the perfect power breakfast. For a more substantial meal, pair it with a piece of fruit or a glass of 100% juice. Weight Watchers English muffins are smaller than regular muffins which makes the sandwich... ENJOY!

    "Delicious! Love this as a snack.
     
    Making oven fries out of sweet potatoes brings out their inherent sweetness.
    This is a tasty side dish that can be added to any main course. Try this recipe today, and you will find it's delicious, easy to fix, and good for your family.
    Be careful of the time, they can burn. Check them a few times while cooking you want them to be crispy. ENJOY!

    I went on my scale this morning and I lost another pound, so that made me smile. I use to hate the scale but now the scale is my friend.LOL. Its 6:30 Am and am going for my 3 mile walk as I do every day alone the pier over looking the Manhattan sky line, so beautiful to look at as am walking along the NJ side of the hudson. I will post my recipe of the day on it as soon as I get back from my walk.

    There's no need to fear the phyllo: These flaky-crisp crust cups are almost foolproof. All you do is drape ready-made sheets of the pliable pastry around ramekins. Finish off this good-for-you Greek treat with yogurt, honey, and sliced figs. ENJOY!

    What a hot day today. I went shopping for new clothes today felt good to buy them smaller each time I shop. Saw the ice cream truck out side of the store, Mr.Softee. Yumm! I was so tempted to buy a vanilla ice cream cone with sprinkles, somthing I would of eating in the pass, but I did resisted. Went home and had one of my 25 calories ice pop instead.

    I'm having my 8th doctor's appointment. In my previous 7 appointments, I have had only 5 fills. On one occasion, I turned down a fill because I still felt tight, and I knew I didn't need it. Last month, my doctor said am doing great -I lost 12 pounds from my last fill, so I did not need one. I lost 80 pounds since my surgery on Oct 26, 2009.
    I know I need a fill for June because I am feeling a little hungry at times and drinking a lot more liquids. I'm still doing great, BUT IN MY HEAD I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE LOST A LOT MORE - 'grrrrrrr'. I lost only 4 pounds from last month to now, so it's time for my 1/2 cc fill - that's what works for me each time I get my fills. It took some playing around to find what works for me. So I'm going in next Wednesday for my tweaking, that's what the Nurse Practitioner and I call it.
    I did not lose as much as I had hoped this month. I normally lose anywhere from 8 pounds to 13 pounds a month. I feel great and I'm looking good to. I work out every day, walk 3 miles a day. YOU CAN FOLLOW ME ON MY BLOG. I have a lot of tips, workout exercises that I do and wonderful recipes. I love to cook, always have. I love to have dinner parties. My friends and family tell me that I should go into catering. I had to find a way to keep doing what I love the most, and that's cooking. Ok, and eating.. lol.
    Seeing how I do not eat as much anymore, I love to watch others enjoy my cooking. I have recipes of the day on my blog and a lot more, so have a look and let me know if it's helpful to you. :smile2:
