"Skinny" Apple Pie

Posted by Jeanie at EatBetterAmerica on May 27, 2009 | Be the first to comment

Well, this one isn't pie shaped, but it could be! My baking focus right now is Apple Strudel. The first weekend in June, my sister is hosting a Viennese Dinner for 12 as a silent auctioon item she contributed to benefit the MN Opera Guild. I love to bake...

Little Sweet Tooth

Posted by Jeanie at EatBetterAmerica on January 15, 2009 | 1 comment

OK, I admit it, I do like a little something sweet following dinner. Unfortunately, from the calorie/fat standpoint, I'm not one who can habitually afford to enjoy a dessert of my choosing after a meal. So, when "the sweets" are on my mind, most times...
