Do you want a refreshing Lemon Cheesecake Mousse for those special occasions? Best of of it is low carb and sugar free. Lemons have always be a favorite of mine and this dessert was made with tree-ripened lemons. You can’t get it any better than that!! I have chosen to use fat-free Greek yogurt, and reduced fat cream cheese to lighten the calorie load. if you prefer you can use full fat Greek Yogurt and cream cheese.
Browsing through a magazine this past week I saw a recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie but off course it was loaded with sugar. I decide to try a sugar-free one and for the lack of time made it without a crust. It was very well received by the taste-testers in my family and now I have a new favorite for the fall holidays. In this recipe I use my home canned pumpkin but bought canned pumpkin works just as well or you can substitute well-drained cooked butternut squash.

Sweet juicy peaches star in this fluffy cheesecake. Even better yet, it is no-bake dessert so you don’t have to heat your kitchen up to bake on warm summer days. The walnuts in the crust add a delightful crunch and pair with the smoothness of the filling. There are so many peaches varieties to pick from but my favorites for fresh eating are Red Haven, Sun High, and Contender. This post does contain affiliate links with the products I love to use.

Cleaning out the remains of my garden this fall, I had a small bucket of Jalapenos to use up. Maybe I was being lazy but I didn’t want to take the time to can them. This recipe saved my day. It can be made is a very short time and best of all, they are so delicious. The Jalapenos are not super hot like you would imagine but have a mild sweet flavor. I may even have to buy some Jalapenos this winter to replenish our supply!
Refrigerator Pickled Jalapenos
Wash and slice Jalapenos, discarding the tops and stems. Pack into a quart jar. Fill the quart jar with water and shake to loosen some seeds. Pour the out the water and discard. Combine water, vinegar, salt, and Gentle Sweet together. Stir until salt and Gentle Sweet are dissolved. Place garlic cloves and oregano on top of the jalapenos. Pour brine in to fill the jar. Add lid and ring. Store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks before using if you can wait that long.
These are so tasty on wraps, burgers, omelets, and just about anything. They have a sweet mild flavor and we just love them.

As a young girl I spent fall afternoons picking up English Walnuts with my grandma. They were a favorite and much preferred by our family over the Black Walnuts which have a stronger taste. This Angel Food Cake combines the flavors of maple with walnuts for a very appealing taste in a light fluffy cake. The frosting can be eliminated for a FP as there are very minimal amount of walnuts in a slice.

Cake:
Icing:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites and frothy. Add cream of tartar and powdered erythitol. Whip until soft peaks form. Add Maple and Vanilla Flavoring. Whip until egg whites mound in soft mounds that hold their shape. Stir together Stevia, Collagen, and oat fiber. Carefully mix the dry ingredients into the egg whites until combined. Fold in walnuts. Spoon batter into an angel food cake pan. Swirl a knife through the batter to eliminate air pockets. Place on the lowest oven rack. Bake for 40 minutes***. Remove from oven and turn cake upside down to cool for 4 hours. Carefully remove cake from pan be running a sharp knife along the edges of the cake pan. Icing: Melt butter and allow it to simmer until browned. Cool slightly. In a mixer bowl combine butter, erythitol, cream cheese, cream, Maple Flavoring, and Stevia. whip until smooth and creamy. Spread over cooled cake and garnish with chopped walnuts. Serves 12.
*I use a coffee grinder to powder the erythitol.
**There is a big difference in oat fiber, I will only use THM oat fiber. It is the best. I fluff it up with a spoon, than spoon it into my measuring cup. Do not scoop it as that will pack it into the cup.
**You can over-beat egg white which will cause the cake to collapse after it has been baked. You want soft-medium-stiff whites. They should be soft mounds. This recipe fills my 6 quart mixer bowl almost full when they are fully whipped.
***Oven temps do vary.
If you prefer you can use either English or Black walnuts or even Pecans.

Have you ever wanted all the flavors of sushi without the added carbs from the white rice? A recipe on the back of a bag of sushi rice inspired this salad. I love it!

This has satisfied my taste for sushi and I hope you will find it as refreshing as I did.

Amish Macaroni Potato salad has always been a favorite with our family and for carry-in dish dinners. I have often wished for a healthier version (without potatoes) and after numerous attempts I have come up with this recipe using spaghetti squash. Our family loves it and the serving dish comes back to the kitchen completely empty. Most people are surprised what is used to replace the potatoes but comment on how tasty it really is.

Olive Garden Salad is an all time favorite in our family and what is not to like about crunchy sprouted bread croutons, peperoncino peppers, grape tomatoes, red onions, and this dressing tossed with romaine and iceberg lettuce . This recipe uses double fermented Kefir as a base which gives you healthy probiotics. I used low-fat kefir which does lighten the calorie load just a bit but still give a flavorful dressing. Romano Cheese gives the best flavor but Parmesan cheese can be used as a substitute.

Stockpots full of hearty soups are so delicious and filling on busy fall/winter days. This Southwestern Chicken and Bean soup has become a family favorite. I often serve it with cornbread or Multi-grain Sourdough bread. Over the winter months I pressure can black beans to use in this soup or for rice and beans. Sweet corn give just the right amount of sweetness that go so well with the spiciness. You can adjust the seasoning to suit your taste and even add a diced Jalapeno or two if you like more heat. I will freeze individual portions of this soup for school lunches or for a quick meal when I am home by myself.

Cheesecake have always been a favorite of mine. They are one of the easiest desserts to make under the THM guidelines and taste like the sugar laden ones. I have tried many different kinds and here is a fall favorite using pumpkin.
This one is included in Around the Family Table cookbook along with 16 other recipes. There are baked, no-bake, mini cheesecakes, and tips on how to be successful in baking a cheesecake included in the chapter. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.
Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake THM-S
Preheat over to 325 degrees F. Grease the sides and bottom of a 9 inch spring-form pan. Combine pecan meal, almond flour, sweet mix and butter. Press on the sides and the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12 minutes. In mixer bowl beat cream cheese until creamy. Add sweet mix, vanilla, coconut flour, and salt. Add eggs and mix until combined. Remove 1 1/2 cups cream cheese mixture to a separate bowl. Add pumpkin, spice, and Stevia drops. Spoon a layer of plain batter into the crust. Add half of the pumpkin batter. Repeat with remaining batter, ending with pumpkin on top. Swirl with a knife. Place a baking dish of boiling water on the bottom oven rack. Place the cheesecake on a rack directly above the boiling water. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 45-50 minutes. Remove and cool and a wire rack. Chill overnight for best flavors. Serves 12.
