I can't help feeling like I've won the lottery every time I check out. I mean, they're letting me read FOR FREE!!!
The book I picked up yesterday is called From Junk Food to Joy Food by Joy Bauer.
Joy is a nutritionist and in this book she gives us slimmed down versions of all the goodies we love to indulge in.
Today I tried her recipe for Pumpkin Pudding and made just a couple small changes.
I bought Dannon Light & Fit 80 calorie vanilla Greek yogurt. To this one 5.3 oz container I added 1/3 cup pumpkin puree. Joy suggests then adding a dash of cinnamon and optionally using pumpkin pie spice.
I added the cinnamon but left out the pumpkin pie spice and instead added 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and 1/8 tsp maple extract and a small dash of nutmeg.
Mix this together and then garnish with 1 Tbsp nuts.
Remember 1 Tbsp almonds= 1 pt, walnuts= 2 pts, pecans= 2 pts.
I really wanted to enjoy this with pecans but sadly I'm out(I think my hubby has gotten into them again :0) )
I added a few almond slivers and it was still DELICIOUS!
What a great treat for 4 Smart Points(depending on which nut you use)!
After the hot and humid summer we've had I am longing for autumn.
Now I have a great fall treat to enjoy while I'm dreaming about cooler days to come.
Happy Cooking!
