Guiltless cheesecake E-mail

Lower-fat Orange Cheesecake Cups

Is there any such thing as guilt-free cheesecake that tastes just like the real thing?  Oh yes.  We at MagicallyDelicious are cheesecake hounds and we wouldn't settle for something that tastes any less than the real thing.  Now, part of the magic of this recipe, honestly, is in the portioning.  The ingredients aren't too different from the "real thing," though we did go a little lighter on the fats and the sugar.  But with the addition of orange juice and zest, this comes to the table with full flavor, and you can serve it to your non-dieting friends who will be none the wiser.

Lighter Pancakes E-mail

pancakes that won't break your points budget

Craving pancakes but think you can't spare the points?

Mmmmmmmmpancakes.  They are one of our downfalls, so we decided we needed to find a nutritious, lower calorie and healthier alternative to these Saturday morning favorites.  We like ours covered in syrup, butter and because we're creative (though some may think we're weird), we like to add peanut butter and sometimes even cinnamon on top of that. 

The cooks at MagicallyDelicious took our demands to the test kitchen and whipped up these taste-alikes that we flipped over.  Here is the ultra-complicated recipe so you can indulge in these lower-calorie pancakes for a hearty breakfast that is full of fiber.

No-guilt Crispy Pizza E-mail
Written by Angie   

I missed pizza, so I went looking for a good replacement and I think I found it.  It's only three points and it's cripsy, crunchy, cheesy and satisfying.  This quick recipe is just the base; top it off with all the veggies you love, or even add a little grilled chicken or pineapple.  Ham or bacon bits will give it a salty kick for not a lot of extra points.
