Simple things

Baking is a passion but I like "real" food (LOL) to be simple to prepare. You can get snack size cups of pineapple tidbits in it's own juice in the grocery store (4 to a pack). If you mix one of these with 2 tablespoons of sweet n sour chinese sauce and add some peppers (or whatever else you like) you can use it to create Hawaiian chicken, shrimp, beef, etc. The extra keeps in the fridge for a week. It's also a great marinade.

An easy dessert is to take the 60 calorie fat-free jello pudding cups and freeze them. They taste like ice-cream and take longer to eat. Grapes are also good frozen.

I just wanted to say thank you for the frozen pudding cup idea! I tried that tonight and it was a wonderful treat. Thank you for that!

I have some in the freezer; however, have been afraid to try them as I'm afraid they're going to be too sweet like everything else has been ... have you had that too sweet problem and, if so, how did the pudding cups measure up?

I agree, the pudding cups make great icecream. I chose chocolate...I wonder why. Was very nice and was good having portion already there.

I just bought some and put them in the freezer.

I am taking the Vit. D test that WASa recommends because one of the symptoms of having a vit. D deficiency is craving for sweets.

I don't think the pudding cups are very sweet. I don't know about frozen, but I find the jello brand less sweet than the Swiss Miss brand.

I buy the sugar free jello and pudding cups and they taste fine. The jello has 10 calories and the pudding has 60 calories. That is very do-able for me for a little sweetie.
