Pudding Dessert

Who doesn't like dessert?
Christian wants dessert every day and would be happy if he could have ice cream day after day after day... Ha! So would I! But we all know that we can't do that. Instead I try to come up with lighter desserts ideas.

Fat Free Jello Pudding has been a great option for us. It's approx 70 calories per half a cup and zero sugar! Dress it up with some fruit and a cute glass and Christian is happy. I picked these glasses up at the dollar store and Christian thinks they are the coolest thing since sliced bread.

For this dessert I used a can of Fruit with cherries and Jello White Chocolate Fat Free Pudding. I put the fruit in the bottom, then pudding, just a little cool whip and then Christian wanted some candy sprinkles on top. Simple, easy and light. It put a big smile on Christian's face and he said it was as good as an ice cream sundae.

  1. I can't tell from the photo if Christian's more excited about the dessert or the glass it's served in! Great job, coming up with a lighter version of an ice cream dessert.

  2. I know! He thinks that they are expensive glasses. I guess they look fancy to him.

Aztec Blend

I was at the Bulk Barn last week and decided to try out one of their rice blends. It is Aztec Blend #1656. It includes colusari red rice, long grain brown rice, split peas, and amaranth. I had no idea what some of those ingredients were but figured anything's worth a try, right? When I got home I looked up colusari rice & amaranth. Colusari rice is a burgundy-colored chewy rice that has a light nutty-popcorn-like flavor and amaranth is actually an herb.

It was very simple to prepare & actually pretty good. The peas were a little crunchy which added nice texture. I was surprised that both kids really liked it.

Banna-Nutella Tortilla Wrap

While standing in the grocery store line last week I was flipping through a cooking magazine and came across this idea.  I thought it was the perfect after school surprise for Christian.

First I spread the nutella on a tortilla.

Then I put a peeled banana on it.

Rolled it up...

...and it was ready to eat.

Christian shared it with his little brother and they both gobbled it up.  A little messy... for Alexander especially, but worth it.

Asian Cabbage Mango Slaw

I saw this recipe and knew that we had to try it!  Actually, this recipe was my inspiration behind having an Asian-inspired BBQ meal.  The idea of mango in my slaw felt very summery to me and it was a great way to have a BBQ side without the calories of our typical mayo-based salads.

It was a pretty simple dish to make.  Below, you'll see everything tossed in the bowl.  FYI, I shredded the cabbage with a knife and the carrot with a box shredder. 

The marinade called for rice vinegar (which I didn't have), but I had just learned that I could sub with white wine vinegar. Mixed it all up and threw in some sesame seeds and it was ready.  I put it in the fridge for a few hours, but I could've just given it 15 minutes to let the flavors marinade a little. Asian Cabbage Mango Slaw (6 servings.  Serving Size 1/2 cup) 2 cups shredded cabbage 1/2 cup shredded carrots 1 mango a bunch of green onions, chopped 3 tbsp rice vinegar, I used white wine vinegar 1/2 lime, juiced 1 tbsp soy s…
