I made this rhubarb dessert too that tasted delicious from the spoon! I ran it through the recipe builder on the WW site and it only comes out to 1 point per serving if you divide the pie into 4 pieces! For any of you rhubarb lovers out there, here's the recipe if you want to try it! I found this recipe on lesleycooks.tripod.com.

Rhubarb Rumble
Points per serving: 1
Serves: 4

2 cups rhubarb
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 box SF strawberry jello
1 box FF/SF vanilla pudding
1/2 cup Fiber One cereal

Dice rhubarb and microwave in microwave safe bowl until soft and pureed, stirring every 2 minutes. Stir 1 box SF strawberry jello into rhubarb until completely dissolved and then chill. In separate bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups skim milk with 1 box FF/SF vanilla pudding. Use wire whip for 2 minutes and blend completely. Fold rhubarb mixture into pudding mixture and stir thoroughly. Slightly crush 1/2 cup Fiber One cereal and pour over bottom of pie plate to make a makeshift crust. Pour rhubarb/pudding mixture over the cereal and chill thoroughly. Add some Cool Whip if desired when served.

Level of Difficulty | Easy

Dig your spoon into these sweet, juicy treats. Nothing beats them on a cold, blustery day.

New Age Candy Apple

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok Guys, here's a recipe to appeal to the sweet (I mean REALLY sweet) tooths that many of you have. My Niece found this and made it for me. I thought it would be gross but it was delicious. Here's a great way to get a fruit in and satisfy your craving for junk!

1 Medium Granny Smith Apple, peeled and cored
1/4 teaspoon SF Cherry Flavored Jello
2 Tablespoons Diet Cherry Soda
2 Tablespoons FF Cool Whip

Slice apple crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices; Place a layer of apples in a small microwavable bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Stack another layer if necessary, but make sure you get Jello over the top of each layer. I actually think we used more than 1/4 teaspoon of Jello. Niece is not big on precise measuring but 1/4 teaspoon is what the recipe said. Pour cola over slices.

Cover loosely with waxed paper. Microwave at high power for 2 minutes or until liquid is boiling. Allow to stand, covered for 5 minutes.

This recipe works great with any crisp apple. A Jonathan apple will give a tart flavor, a Corland apple will give a sweet, tart flavor and a Red Delicious apple will give a sweet flavor. Choose your favorite apple and enjoy.

This recipe was tested in an 1100 watt microwave oven

Rice Pudding

4 tbsp brown rice
2 1/2 cups ff milk ( you could use ff evaporated milk)
2 tbsp splenda
1 tsp cinnamon

Bake at 300c for 2-3 hours. Stir frequently only in the first hour.

I made this yesterday to make sure it would be ok with brown rice. My picky DH didn't notice the splenda or the brown rice. it didn't make as much as when I used white rice I may try 4 tbsp next time

1 cup skim milk
2/3 c frozen black cherries

Almost like Uncooked Homemade Core Banana Pudding

2 small boxes of sf/ff banana creme or vanilla pudding
4 cups skim milk
1 cup (crushed) Kashi Heart to Heart cereal
2 bananas

Mix first two ingredients as directed on pudding boxes. In a trifle bowl (regular bowl would work too), pour 1/2 of pudding, sprinkle crushed cereal, slice bananas on top of crushed cereal, pour remaining pudding on top. YUMMY!

In my bowl tonight, I added and stirred in a dollup of ff cool whip for 1 pt. SO GOOD!!! My leader said that she considers the Kashi Heart to Heart cereal as core because it has 5 g (or less) of sugar, and high fiber. I thought this was an awesome way to add some fiber to the pudding and at the same time taste like vanilla wafers.
