Classic cream cheese frosting makes everything taste great! I cut out most of the refined sugar while using natural sugar from maple syrup in the cake – and saved the refined sugar for the delicious cream cheese frosting. I also balanced the cream cheese by combining fat-free and full-fat cream cheese. My family could not […]

You don’t get any more American than cherry pie for the 4th of July. I modified the recipe so that everyone can have their own ramekin of cherry cobbler. Even though I cut down on the sugar, the result was a sweet and tart cobbler leaving my kids asking for seconds. If you enjoy my […]

Farm fresh strawberries that we picked ourselves this afternoon were a delicious addition to this cheesecake I made earlier in the day in honor of Father’s Day. Nothing says love more than this cake since the sliced red strawberries look like hearts! And Dad will love that this cheesecake is lighter than the full-fat version.

You won’t miss the refined sugar in these moist, delicious muffins. Today my goddaughter got engaged! We were invited over for a socially distanced BBQ to celebrate. I was running low on time, so I decided these homemade treats would be a welcome addition to the party.

I love this New Orleans treat, but I decided to try to make it a little healthier. The dessert was so quick to pull together. It was super tasty with my simple replacements. While I made the sauce healthier, I served it over vanilla ice cream.

With no added sugar, this pie is a healthy treat to bring to a Memorial Day BBQ. This “no bake” treat is refreshing on a hot, summer day. If we weren’t in quarantine, I would have made it as a Red, White, and Blue Pie, by simply replacing half of the strawberries with blueberries.

My first “guest” recipe as this was made by my husband for me on Mother’s Day. This recipe makes bread pudding healthier by using Schmidt 6-4-7 bread, and replacing the eggs with Egg beaters. We also did not use any heavy cream. It still tastes delicious. This is a great recipe when you have an […]

Disney World has a delicious treat called Dole Whip, made from Dole Pineapples. At the beginning of Quarantine, Disney posted its recipe used in Walt Disney World. Since we have come to terms with no longer taking our once planned Disney World vacation, I decided to give it a try as a Mother’s Day treat. […]

These cupcakes are made healthier by replacing the oil with unsweetened applesauce and the eggs with non-fat Greek yogurt. You’ll never miss those ingredients. Instead of icing, the sweetness of pineapple provides a healthier alternative to icing. These cupcakes became the “cake” for my Toilet Paper Cake. https://cookingupjustice.com/toilet-paper-cake/
In these times of toilet paper hoarding, what better way to celebrate a birthday in quarantine than with a little TP cake! [Note: No actual toilet paper was sacrificed in the making of this cake.] This post is limited to assembling the cake. The recipe for the cake that I used is available at http://www.cookingupjustice.com/pineapple-upside-down-cupcakes. […]
