    I have a yummy cheesecake recipie that you could probably lighten the ingrediants so that it is healtheir (really not sure how healthy or unhealthy it is right now, but I guarantee it's not as bad as restaurant cheesecakes).

    The recipie is at home, if you send me a private message as a reminder, I could probably send it to you when I get home later.

    Another idea is the "diet Soda Cake" -- see page 3 of this recipe section...
    I have always made the regular cola version (Sundrop cake), and for Easter, might make the lemon version (lemon cake mix, lemon pudding, lemon-lime soda). My DH and rest of family loves this cake.. so moist. Quick and easy to make too! And, lots of great suggestions in that post to make it low fat. I also like to make mine in a bundt pan, and found with just a little graze on top, it tastes great -- no need for heavy frostings!

    I just ate a pumpkin citrus pudding:
    1 can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling - just plain pumpkin)
    1 pkg fat free vanilla pudding
    1/4 cup orange juice
    1/2 cup water
    zest of orange
    1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spices (clove, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg - all to your taste)
    blend it all together, let it set in the fridge for 2 hours, serve with 2 tblsp light coolwhip.

    Makes 5-6 servings, about 110 calories per serving.

    YUM!

    This sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing. Do you know if it's okay to make it a day ahead and it still be the consistency you'd want?

    Sorry I didn't get back to you, it did work out for me - same consistency even two days later :)
