Hi, my husband and I are both trying to lose a little weight at the moment but its our 3yr wedding anniversary tomorrow so I wanted to make some tasty but healthy (well healthy ish) treats. He loves cookies and cake, any suggestions? Thanks

Happy Annivarsary!

Personally, I believe if it's a celebration such as this that comes only once a year, it's not a "dieting" occasion. You would die if you saw what I ate on saturday at my 6th anniversary celebration dinner.

How about strawberry shortcake? Its yummy and you can get some of your daily amount of fruit:)

Chocolate mocha cake, only 180 calories per serving!

I say eat really light the day before, get in a good work out the day of and eat a tasty non diet treat for your anniversary. It comes once a year. if you cant splurge a little once a year then that would just be terrible.

however, if you are dead set on keepin it healthy (props if you are)

I would consider Strawberry short cake, angel food cake is one of the lowest in calorie for a slice like 120 calories.

I also made a really good cheese cake last night here is the link to my blog

you could top these with chocolate syrup, or strawberries and whip cream for each cup cake it is 75 calories

Banana Cream pie is a pretty low cal one, if you make it with fat free sugar free pudding mix, low fat graham crackers, and add in fresh bananas.

also check hungry girl, she is talented!

Angel food cake is always a good choice.

A favorite of mine is apple crisp which is very good with vanilla frozen yogurt on it http://fitnesspro.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/healthy-warm-apple-crisp-recipe/

Another treat is to use Temptation pudding (which is very low in calories) and layer in a wine glass. Put chocolate shavings on top and a strawberry on the rim for something that is quick and delicious!

Google low calorie/low fat desserts - I found some 50 calorie cookies that are made with normal ingredients and taste yummy!! I also like

Pineapple Cupcakes
1 box yellow cake mix
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple

Combine the two ingredients(including juice), stir until blended. Pour into muffin tins and bake according to directions on cake mix box. Top with light whipped cream - fabulous!

That looks yummy! My husband and I both like coffee cake so thanks for that one, I think I might give it a try.
