Soft and Chewy Skinny Triple Chocolate Cookies (Large Size)


There is a bakery in the city that sells these amazing large double chocolate chip cookies and they feel like they weigh a pound each. Who wouldn't love them? The problem is, like many bakery treats, they are very high in fat and calories. So I came up with this very easy recipe that's made with my favorite brand of cake mixes (Betty Crocker) that tastes just as good as those bakery cookies. When we had our last Skinny Sweets Daily business meeting everyone loved them; I knew I had a great recipe to share with all of you, so here is my guilt-free version of those yummy cookies.

Light And Luscious Lemon Glazed Cookies

I think everyone has his or her favorite lemon cookie recipe. Well, here's one of mine. This particular recipe is a softer more cake-like cookie. Soft with a nice lemon flavor. These are made with mostly whole-wheat pastry flour, which is a nice light flour and has fiber as well. These are easy to make and really delicious. Hope you give them a try and maybe they will become one of your favorite lemon cookies too.

Skinny White Chocolate Covered Oreo Pops


This weekend was such a great one around here. My sister Rhonda and my niece Wendy and her two adorable daughters, my great nieces, Zoey and Eva came to visit. Eva the little one is the same age as my Josh. Both will be turning seven this summer. They were born four days apart. (I know my big sister wished she could have been in two places at once that year) We celebrate their birthdays together every year and it's always a special time for all of us. They live up in Rhode Island and we are here on Long Island. So we try very hard to get together as many times as we can. They just left and I miss them already and can't wait until we go to visit them the next time.

Well, while the kids were here, I wanted to make something special for them. I know both girls love Oreos. If you have seen our blog; you know we already have a recipe for Oreo balls. It's one of our most popular recipes. This new one uses two kinds of Oreo cookies and has a coating of white chocolate for a nice rich taste. To say the least, they were a huge hit with everyone. I hope you give this a go and enjoy them as much as we did and will again and again!

Skinny Version Cream Cheese And Jam French Toast For One

If you have been on our blog, you will see we have a few French toast recipes. They were a huge hit with viewers. Recently someone asked me to make her favorite childhood breakfast, which was a cream cheese and jelly sandwich. So, I decided to make one but in French toast form and to use an all-natural jam with no added sugar. It came out great and I'm happy to share it with our viewer and all of you.
