Ingredients:

6oz lowfat cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl and using an electric mixer on low speed, mix together
the cream cheese and butter until well blended. Blend in the sugar.

In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt and baking powder together. Gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix until well blended. Add in the milk. Mix forabout 1 minute, and then add yogurt, vanilla, and eggs. Blend for 1-2 minutes.

Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 1hour, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool on a wire rack before removing it from the pan.

Makes 1 loaf or 12 servings

Makes a nice treat with a cup of tea....I sometimes add some glace cherries to turn it into cherry bun.

Ingredients:
16 wonton skins
2tbsp butter, melted
1tsp ground cinnamon
16 oz riccota cheese
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (icing sugar)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 semisweet chocolate chips
1 tsp butter

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Grease two baking sheets.

Brush both sides of wonton skin with butter and then sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Shape into a tube by curling opposite corners around a cannoli mold (I used a tiny funnel). Repeat to make 16 shells.

Place the shells, seam side down, on the greased baking sheets. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cannolis are set and slightly brown at the edges.

Remove from oven and let stand 3 minutes or until the shells have cooled and are crisp. Gently slide off baking sheet onto a plate.

In a large bowl cream together the cheese sugar and vanilla extract with and electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Stir in 2 tbsps of the chocolate chips. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Just before serving, spoon the riccota mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip. Pipe riccota filling into the shells from both ends.

Place remaining 2 tbsps of chocolate chips and the 1tsp of butter into a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high, stirring every 20 seconds, until chocolate is almost melted. Stir completely until melted and smooth.
Using a fork, drizzle the chocolate over the cannoli.

*These weigh in at 3 WW points per peice, however I made them a little lighter by using light riccota cheese and won ton skins are listed at 5 for 1 pt(?) so I think you can get down to 2 points or even one if you use splenda instead of the sugar.

Hey guys and gals, first post here, so.....hi!!!

Tried this out over the weekend, a relatively "good for you" crumble.

SERVES 4–6:

2 lb (1 kg) rhubarb
8 heaped tbsp plain flour
4 oz (100 g) butter
Sugar: Demerara, soft brown, or white
1 rounded tsp ginger
Golden syrup

METHOD

1. Top and tail the rhubarb, wash and cut into inch-long (2 cm) pieces.
2. Put the rhubarb in a saucepan with the ginger, a couple of tablespoons of sugar, a very little cold water and a modest dollop of golden syrup.
3. Simmer gently over a very low heat until the rhubarb is soft and the liquid syrupy (around 20 minutes), then transfer to a deep-sided ovenproof dish.
4. Make the crumble topping by sifting the flour into a large bowl, then adding the butter in small pieces and rubbing in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
5. Stir another couple of tablespoons of sugar into the crumble mixture; loosely cover the fruit with the crumble without pressing it down too hard, and bake in the oven, Gas Mark 5 (190°C) for about 20 minutes, until the topping is slightly golden.

This is from ahealthybalanceddiet.info - came across it at the moneysupermarket website. There are some other recipes, although haven't got round to trying them out yet.

LoveHandles84,

That sounds great, but what is golden syrup?

Pumpkin Pudding
1 package sugar free vanilla pudding (not instant, the cooked kind)
1/2 can pumpkin+ Stevia to taste
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie seasoning
2 cups fat free milk.
Put all ingredients in a large microwave bowl, cook and stir every couple of minutes until it boils. The calories vary according to how many individual servings you put it in. I make 6 individual servings, top with fat free cool whip and a sprinkling of dry Fiber One cereal on top. The dry cereal adds fiber and makes it taste like pie.

[Bobbolink]

Pillsbury SUGAR FREE Yellow cake mix.
4 cups diced rhubarb
1/2 cup Splenda
1 package Vanilla instant sugar free pudding
Cool Whip, sugar free
Spray Pam on 9 x 13 pan, add diced rhubarb and sprinkle splenda on top of rhubarb.
Mix up cake mix according to directions less 1 egg.
(calls for 3 eggs, only put 2 in because of the moisture in the rhubarb) Dot batter over rhubarb carefully. Bake according to cake mix directions.
Cool cake.
Make vanilla pudding according to package instructions.
Top the cake with the instant pudding. (I use cooked sugar free pudding, holds up better and I put it on the cake hot) Chill in refrigerator until set, then top with the Cool Whip.
Keep cake refrigerated and covered.
