    Pineapple cheese casserole -

    1 cup sugar (could use splenda)
    6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups grated sharp cheddar (reduced fat)
    2 (20-ounce) cans pineapple chunks, drained, and 6 tablespoons pineapple juice reserved
    1 cup cracker crumbs (recommended: Ritz)
    8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus extra for greasing pan (use light butter, or butter spray)

    Directions


    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    Spray medium-size casserole dish with butter.

    In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. Gradually stir in the cheese. Add the drained pineapple chunks, and stir until ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

    This dish is SOOOOOOOO yummy! You could do the same thing with apples!!

    Sounds neat...is it a dessert or a meal?

    steel cut oats, gala apples, and cinnamon. Cook overnight in your crock pot with a little water and makes a great breakfast :) Makes your house smell great too!

    YUM!!!!!

    Here are a few warm fruit desserts I’ve made in the past.

    DSCN0648.jpg?t=1340496543
    “Bananas Foster” in toasted crepe topped with sugar free vanilla pudding mixed with Cool Whip. To make the bananas foster I mixed and heated Parkay butter spray, cinnamon, and Walden Farms 0 calorie syrup. I then removed from the heat and added a sliced banana.

    Skinny Cow Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream wrapped in crepe on warmed sliced strawberries and raspberry puree with cinnamon, topped with FF Cool Whip and more fruit

    DSCN0544.jpg?t=1339287802
    Sauteed apple with cinnamon, raspberries, and blueberries topped with FF Cool Whip

    DSCN0450.jpg?t=1338334038
    DSCN0459.jpg?t=1338334405
    Pear pan cooked in butter spray and cinnamon, wrapped in a crepe, topped with FF Cool Whip and plated with Walden Farms 0 calorie Caramel Syrup

    DSCN0338.jpg?t=1336784437
    Crepe with "baked" cinnamon apple topped with Skinny Cow Dulce de Leche ice cream and FF Cool Whip (ice cream starting to melt, but it was good)

    Baked bananas! Peel one, wrap it in foil, and bake it for about 20 minutes.

    If you wanna get crazy, you could stuff it with a few marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbles before baking...

    Whoa... mind...BLOWN
