DeLightful Pineapple Cake

In my ongoing quest for the perfect fat-free dessert, I’ve made some pretty tasty ones. But I’d rather skip dessert if low-fat results in a dry, tasteless lump. The richer the dessert, the better I’m going to like it. This is about the simplest recipe I’ve ever made. It’s right up there with ice cream bread with the number of ingredients but unlike the ice cream bread, this one is virtually fat-free.

Fruity Springtime Delights

Most days I forego candy and desserts. I eat fruit every day but avoid sweets although I have quite the sweet tooth. While grocery shopping this weekend, I came across some good-looking strawberries at a good price and decided to make strawberry shortcake for Sunday’s dinner.

I use reduced-fat Bisquick (actually, Betty Crocker now calls this version of Bisquick “Heart Smart Healthy”) and SmartBalance for the shortcakes. To top off the dessert, I use light whipped cream from the can. While browsing the canned whipped creams, I made an exciting discovery. OK, it was exciting to me — chocolate-flavored whipped cream.
