Black Magic Chocolate Cake... Pure Magic!

This cake has to be the best cake I have ever eaten in my life. I love chocolate cake but making it homemade never tastes as good as a bakery cake. This cake is certainly an exception. It’s delicious! First off the color is incredibly beautiful I love the dark cake color and I love love love the amazing frosting. I can’t tell you enough just how wonderful...

Copacabana Smoothie

This smoothie is amazing and it’s exactly what I envision Copacabana Brazil being like, clean water, fresh fruit, and amazing. This smoothie is probably my favorite smoothie of all time. Sorry corporate smoothie companies but this one beats yours hands down! It’s not a complicated smoothie but it’s simply delicious. I that this recipe is sweet and refreshing that...

Alane's Best Brisket

This is a very good brisket recipe. I have made this twice now. The first time I did mine in the oven and the second time I used the same method below but I made my brisket in the slow cook. Regardless of what you do the recipe will turn out fantastic? Make sure you use a beer that you like because this recipe takes on a very strong beer flavor. I used a light...

Fruit and Pound Cake Parfaits

This recipe is incredibly delicious! Oh my! The flavor is so good and satisfying. The calories are a bit high but this recipe is well worth it. This makes a great summer holiday recipe that you can serve to a big group or to a small family. It’s easy and something you can make up in advance. You just need to cut up the cake and put it in a zip back and seal it up...

Strawberry Mock-Shake! 181 Calories

If you are like me when you are trying to lose weight is when you crave everything that is bad for you. Thanks for a friends inspiration I came up with this Strawberry mock-shake that (in my opinion) taste just like a McDonalds Milk Shake for 180 calories. For the same size, a 12oz milk shake at McDonalds you would be consuming 550 calories WOW that is a 370 calorie difference. Although...

Weight Watchers Cabbage Soup (38 Calories Per Cup)

This recipe is delicious. Honestly when I set out to make it I didn’t think I would like I suppose that is the reason I have been putting this recipe off for so long. On the contrary though I actually thought it was great! The flavor was wonderful and it’s light yet hearty. Nothing beats all of that plus knowing that you can eat as much as you like and still have plenty...

Sweet Cornbread

I thought this recipe was good but the original recipe called for a 9 inch round pan that I found to be too small. The cornbread was more like cake than cornbread and it took forever to bake. No really forever! The second time I made this recipe I used a large square pan and it turned out much better. This is a super sweet recipe that you could even cut down the...

Balsamic Chicken

This recipe was incredibly delicious and easy. We all enjoyed it so much that I can see us eating this recipe often. You could change this recipe over to a slow cooker recipe in just a few steps. I also think adding sliced onions to the recipe could also be super delicious. I love recipes that are easily adaptable and low in calories and this is certainly one of...

Mock-olate Shake (117 Calories)

I adapted this recipe from a recipe that my friend Alison over at Underthebigoaktree.com found called Wendy’s Frosty Skinny Version on the site Go Girl Diet. Although I don’t think this taste like a Frosty in the least I think it’s fantastic never the less!! Seriously! It's fantastic! I have already drank many of these little shakes and I have to say they are...
