Chocolate Cupcakes

You can have your cupcake and eat two! I LOVE this recipe because these cupcakes are made with no butter or eggs but they are moist and so delicious. Made with heart-healthy canola oil, the only butter is a little in the frosting but you will never feel overstuffed by eating one of these… or two. :-) No matter how many you make, they won’t last long. The best news? One bowl! (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

My Kitchen Sink Cookies

One day, I couldn’t decide what kind of cookies to bake. I wanted oatmeal, but I love peanut butter, and then there’s chocolate chip! I decided to put them all into one and make them as healthy as I could. Let me tell you, EVERYONE loves these cookies. They have fiber, healthy fats, and are chewy and the oats can actually lower your cholesterol. So many people have asked for this recipe, I decided to share it with the world.

Strawberry Cake

This is a special occasion cake (like Denis’ birthday) that is so good everyone will remember it and probably ask you for the recipe! It’s basically a classic white cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream frosting. The key is to find good fresh strawberries and have all the ingredients at room temperature. Make sure you keep the finished cake refrigerated.

Apple Pie Bars

If you love apple pie as much as I do (who doesn’t?), here is your apple pie fix that is easier, faster, and get this... it’s healthier! The crust is made without shortening or butter, using heart-healthy canola oil. This is one of my best recipes. Pick up a square by hand or eat it with a fork with a little side of low fat frozen yogurt. These are so good, you may have to use my rule: One Per Person.

Caramel Corn

Don’t make this if you have no will power – it’s unbelievably good and won’t last long. Pop the corn fresh using an air popper, a pot on the stove or my paper bag microwave method (see my video) but do not use store bought popped or the packaged microwave kind. You’ll need a baking sheet with a rim so the mixture doesn’t spill out when you stir it. It's easy to make & may be the best caramel corn on the planet! (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

Bread Pudding

I bake my own egg bread just to make this pudding but you can certainly use a store-bought loaf. Since bread cubes are hard to measure, I use a kitchen scale to get the exact weight. This pudding is so good, it’s even delicious served cold.

Chocolate-Almond Meringues

Egg whites are fat free so the only fat comes from the nuts and dark chocolate, both of which benefit the heart. Try to use a good quality dark chocolate (the darker, the more antioxidants). I use Scharffen Berger, which comes in a 3 oz. bar so it takes 1/3 of the bar. If you have a food processor and an electric stand mixer, these don't take much work - just time.

Anti-Aging Jello

This dessert is an antioxidant powerhouse! Besides acai berry, there are other superfood juices you can also use, like pomegranate or blueberry. The best juices to use are ones that are fruit sweetened and low in sugar. I like to have this with a side of vanilla low fat frozen yogurt. (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

Classic Meringues

There’s no place you can buy anything close to these sensational homemade meringues and they are incredibly easy (and cheap) to make. But you must have an electric mixer, preferably a stand mixer, or even a hand-held. I dare you to try and eat just one. (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

Easy Low-Fat Chocolate Pudding

You only have to look at the long list of ingredients on a box of pudding mix to know why I make my own. It just takes a few ingredients (and about 5 minutes) and it tastes a lot richer than you think. No junk, no chemicals, and it contains calcium for strong bones. Try this once and you’ll never go back to the box. (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

My Streusel Coffee Cake

The good news is this cake has almost no saturated fat. The bad news is it will be gone by the next morning. If you want to impress your company, just serve this while it’s still warm out of the oven.
