Angel Food Strawberry Dessert—THM S

Who is anxious for luscious, juicy, sun-kissed strawberries? I, know I am. Quart boxes piled full of berries in rows at roadside produce stands signal that summer has arrived in all it splendor. This cake tastes just like my Grandma’s Angel Food cake many years ago. The cake layer is a FP and can also be topped with a fat-free Greek Yogurt filling for a FP Dessert. The recipe as a THM S and has the FP option listed, also. This is a winner with our family.

This post was created in partnership with Ninja and I received a complimentary product but all opinions in this post are my own.

Coconut cake has been family favorite for many years. I found this cute little 3 cup bundt pan in a houseware store a few weeks ago. It was just the perfect size to fit in my Ninja^® Foodi™ Pressure Cooker . This cake is so moist, uses the new THM Coconut Extract, and is topped with a creamy icing with coconut sprinkled on. If you love coconut as much as we do this cake will be a winner in your family, too.

Have you ever walked past in bagel shop in the city and wondered if you will find a healthy on-plan one? These sourdough bagels have a chewy crust and a dense interior just like those from a specialty shop. The dough for these bagels can be mixed and allowed to ferment in the fridge overnight. They are then cooked and baked the following day. You can top them with any topping of your choice or even leave them plain. I mixed a Homemade Everything Bagel Topping for those pictured below. A favorite of mine is toast a split bagel and top with just a tiny bit of cultured butter.

This post was created in partnership with Ninja and I received a complimentary product but all opinions in this post are my own.

Wings are a favorite food to get at pizza-style restaurants but so often they are covered in a sugary sauce. These Cajun Chicken Wings are juicy and crispy after being fried using Air-Fry Crisping in the Ninja^® Foodi™ Pressure Cooker. The Air-Fry Crisping gives wonderful results without all the fat of deep frying. I loved the simplicity of the Ninja Foodie as it so easy to use and the wings were a golden brown in a short time. Served with Spicy Cajun Sauce these wings have become a favorite in our house. Pair these with a large garden salad for a wonderful meal.

Who can resist a crispy chewy crust personal pan pizza? This Barbecue Chicken Pizza is just perfect paired with a large garden salad for a delightful THM-E meal. Sourdough is very easy to do and makes the best pizza crust. I use low-fat cheese to keep under 6 grams of fat and use cooked chicken breast. In the summertime I process garden tomatoes into Memphis Barbecue Sauce that is wonderful on this pizza.

Sour Cream Raspberry Pie THM-S

March 14, 2019March 15, 2019 / glenda1969 / Leave a comment

Today, March 14th is National Pi Day!!! One way to celebrate is with a Sour Cream Raspberry Pie. For years I have had a Black Raspberry patch at the edge of my garden. They are my all time favorite berry. I do have red raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries plants but I love to walk through my black raspberry patch picking the plump juicy fruit the best. My children always hated the spring time when mom said it was time to trim raspberries. Leather gloves and long sleeves shirts were a must. Some summers my patch yielded over 130 pints but I have scaled it down to a more manageable size much to my children’s relief.

Seafood Pasta Salad THM-S

March 12, 2019March 22, 2019 / glenda1969 / 2 Comments

Pasta Salads are always delightful at picnics and carry in dinners. Our family loves any type of salad and seafood, so why not combine the two! Most Seafood Pasta Salads use imitation crab meat but I have chosen to use canned shrimp and crab meat because of all the additives in imitation crab. This salad also reminds me of warm sun, sandy beaches, and ocean waves.
