    Also pictured are pineapples that I've cut in quarters length wise then sliced on each wedge. Move each cut piece in opposite directions so that it makes a pretty pattern and place on platters. Although not lowfat the pineapple tastes great with pepper jack cheese. Good luck with whatever you decide to make! Happy fourth!

    Wow, you're good at that, the pictures look awesome. The strawberries and blueberries are the perfect colors for the holidays. Thanks!

    I got one for ya. I don't measure, but...

    Buy a pie crust. They have low-fat ones now.

    Melt chocolate and butter and milk. Or just chocolate and skim milk. You don't need a lot of chocolate. Just enough so that when you pour it into the pie crust, it covers the whole thing. Pour into bottom of pie crust. Place in fridge till it hardens.

    Mix cool whip w/ your choice of fruit- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. If you us sugar free cool whip, add splenda to taste.

    Add to pie.

    Done and delicious!

    Ohhh, might try this one!

    Another one from Hungry Girl:


    Bite it! HG's Red, White & Blueberry Trifle
    HG's Red, White & Blueberry Trifle

    Let Your Treat Flag Fly!

    There's nothing like an easy-to-make dessert that'll impress your friends and please your taste buds, without costing you excessive amounts of fat and calories. This layered dessert is both beautiful AND delicious -- just right for that Fourth of July cookout!

    Ingredients:
    One 8-oz. container Cool Whip Free (thawed)
    1 sugar-free vanilla pudding snack with 60 calories or less (like the kind by Jell-O)
    Half of a 13-oz. angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 5 cups cubed), or HG Alternative
    2 cups chopped strawberries
    2 cups blueberries
    2 cups raspberries

    Directions:
    In a medium-large bowl, thoroughly fold pudding into Cool Whip.

    In a large glass bowl (or trifle dish, if you've got one), evenly layer half of each ingredient: cubed angel food cake, Cool Whip mixture, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

    Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Serve, or chill until ready to serve!

    MAKES 8 SERVINGS

    HG Alternative: If you can't find a 13-oz. angel food cake, look for a similar size. Otherwise, get any size angel food cake and use 5 cups cubed cake.

    How about a king prawn salad, proper low calories, with nice lettuce etc or serve them in baby lettuce leaves with tomato, cucumber, a little balsamic vinegar so they are held in the lettuce.

    Desserts
    How about Almond and Nutmeg Rice Pudding? 1 cup pudding rice, 3 cups almond milk, almond extract, nutmeg, bake for about 30mins at 180 degrees. Thats probably enough for 2-3 portions.

    or

    Baked peaches with a little honey and pecans, half and stone them, put in oven proof dish with a little honey on top and pecan nuts and serve on own with framage frais for lower cals

    :)

    Get a box of Jello Vanilla Instant Pudding. There's a recipe on there for Pineapple Lush with Angel Food Cake. It is yummy, everything in there is low calorie and it's easy to make.
