  • Amaretto Fudge Balls

    Amaretto Fudge Balls

    These chocolate bonbon type sweet taste as if they took hours to prepare. If you place each Amaretoo Fudge ball into a small holiday crinkle paper cup and fill a small decorative tin they would make a very special gift. The cherry center is a delicious surprise! Susan Maria

    Santa fe Dip

    Full of good carbs and protein, this dip is almost a meal! I like to eat it out of a bowl with diced avocados and tomatoes, and a spoonful of sour cream. An excellent dish to take a party or family gathering. Linda

  • Holiday Fun No Sugar Added Ice Cream Cake

    Holiday Fun No Sugar Added Ice Cream Cake

    I am all about making one dish that everyone will enjoy. If I make a full sugar dessert for my guests and have only a sugar free Jell-O cup for myself, I won't feel special and won't want to maintain the lifestyle. This recipe can be your signature dessert for special occasions. It doesn't involve cooking crumb crust and the ice cream for endless variety. You will impress your family with just a little effort and a springform pan! Susan Maria

  • Egg Nog

    Egg Nog

    Amazingly like the real deal, but sugar-free and not an egg in sight! If you'd like to add richness, a quarter cup of egg substitute would be wonderful. Linda

    Mashed Caramel Pecan Sweet Potatoes

    Many of us use the excuse that our family will be upset if there isn't a ridiculously sweet marshmallow, nut, and brown sugar encrusted pan of sweet potatoes but the truth is this dish is just as satisfying and delicious. It has all the flavors of the original! Place this dish on the family table and they will all love it. Susan Maria

    Recipe: Crockpot Options

    Slow cookers can be used day or night. Since foods are cooked slowly over a long period of time, meats and vegetables become extremely tender, increasing food tolerability following weight loss surgery. In addition, family members who have no had surgery will also enjoy the versatility of the dishes that you can prepare using a slow cooker.
