Pistachio Pudding

1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained

1 container (8 oz) vanilla lowfat yogurt

2 cups + 6 T Cool Whip Free topping

Stir pudding mix, pineapple with juice, and yogurt in a large bowl until well blended. Gently stir in 2 cups of the whipped topping. Refrigerate 1 hour. Top each serving with remaining whipped topping. Serves 6. 130 calories/serving.

1 box (4 oz) sugar-free lemon Jell-o

2/3 cup boiling water

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 pk (8 oz) Light Cream Cheese

2 cups Cool Whip Free or Lite

Sprinkle half of the graham cracker crumbs onto the side of a 8-9 inch spring-form pan, or a 9 inch pie plate that has been sprayed with no stick cooking spray. Stir boiling water into gelatin until completely dissolved. Pour into blender container, add cheeses, cover and blend on medium speed until smooth, scraping sides occasionally. Pour into large bowl and gently stir in whipped topping. Pour into prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with remaining crumbs around outside edge. Refrigerate 4 hours. Serves 8. 130 calories/serving.

Apple-Cheese Breakfast Toast

2 slices low-cal bread, toasted

1 apple, unpeeled and grated

1 packet (or more) artificial sweetener

cinnamon

2 slices low-fat or fat-free cheese

Toast 2 slices bread. Wash and grate apple, mix with sweetener and cinnamon, and divide mixture between the 2 slices of toast. Top each one with a slice of cheese (I like the sharp cheddar kind) and briefly put in microwave or toaster oven until cheese melts. Serves 2 (but I eat them both!). About 100 calories/serving. This is one of my all time favorites.

Tuna Cheese Melt

1 slice low-cal bread, toasted

1/2 can (small) white tuna, rinsed

1 slice low-fat/fat-free cheese

Toast bread, top with tuna and a slice of cheese. Put in microwave or toaster oven until cheese melts. About 165 calories. Variation: Put a slice of tomato on the tuna before adding the cheese slice. I often have this for lunch. It's quick, easy, and tastes good.

Steamed Cabbage with Hotdogs

1/2 cabbage

1/2 pk low-fat hotdogs (eg. Healthy Choice)

Wash and slice cabbage. Cut slices into chunks and put into the steamer part of double boiler. Cut each hotdog into 4 pieces and place on top of cabbage. Cover and steam until cabbage is tender (doesn't take long). Serves 3. About 150 calories/serving. I like this with a little mustard or honey mustard at the table. Good served with a small potato and some applesauce or slices of fresh apple.

Tasty Beets

1 can sliced beets, well drained

2 tsp. butter

1 pinch ground basil

2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley

2 scant cups skim milk

Cool Whip Lite or Free

Beat pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl on low-med speed for several minutes until gets thick and no longer grainy (or do in blender).
