Three Biscotti from One Dough This recipe starts morphs into three biscotti from one dough.  Instead of making three separate batches, the base dough is mixed once, then divided into thirds and customized with different mix-ins and flavors. This method keeps things efficient, approachable, and perfect for baking a variety without extra work.  Once the dough is divided, each portion is mixed with its own...

Granola Cookies This recipe started out trying to create the ultimate oatmeal cookie.  However, what I created are granola cookies that are delicious!  A happy accident.   Ingredients While this seems like a long list of ingredients, this recipe comes together rather quickly, and relies on typical ingredients you’d have in your pantry like flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, brown sugar and peanut butter. Once...

Tart Cherry and Pecan Scones I’ve loved scones since I had my first bite many years ago.  Sadly, my late husband only ate ONE BITE of a scone at a business meeting in 1985, declared it was the worst thing he ever put in his mouth and never tasted another one again.  Even when I showed him that mine weren’t dry at all.  (And while...

Homemade Snickers Bars These homemade snickers bars are as if a Twix and a Snickers had a baby.  And I am not mad about it!  I first made this recipe for The Chopping Block.  If you would have asked when I posted that recipe on their website I would have said three years ago.  It was NINE years ago!  So crazy! One of the reasons...

Thanksgiving Dinner for Under $30 I am always up for a budget challenge, so when Metro Market asked if I could do a thanksgiving dinner for under $30, I said “challenge accepted!” Happliy, I pulled off a full Thanksgiving dinner for under $30 this year, and it all came down to a few simple swaps that made a big impact. Instead of splurging on a...

Life’s Too Short (Eat the Cookie) Life is short. We never know what tomorrow will bring, and sometimes, it’s the little joys (like a cookie) that make today a little brighter. If you’re on a weight loss journey, or even managing diabetes, it can feel like certain foods are “off-limits.” I’ve learned the hard way that when I tell myself I can’t have a cookie,...

Homemade Yasso Bars These homemade Yasso bars are so delicious.  Seriously, the best dessert I think I’ve ever made.  Are these Weight Watchers friendly? Absolutely!  That’s what your weeklies are for.  Ingredients needed nonfat Greek yogurt protein powder (we used FlavCity – don’t forget to use my code Bizzy15 to save 15% through December 2025) cool whip vanilla extract powdered peanut butter peanuts melting chocolate...

Cheesecake Jars These cheesecake jars are almost no bake.  The fruit filling is my very berry sauce (recipe below) that can be made with any combination of fresh or frozen fruit.  Blueberries are my favorite, so we used blueberries in this recipe.  While these come in at 10 Weight Watchers points, each one is only 244 calories, 15 fat, 24 carbs, 2 fiber and 6...

Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies Sometimes the best way to say “I’m sorry” is with cookies. These Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies were my heartfelt peace offering to my neighbors after my dog Todd had what I can only describe as a full-on main character meltdown on our block. We were simply passing each other on the sidewalk when their tiny (but very vocal) pup started yipping...

Silken Tofu Pudding If I didn’t make this silken tofu pudding myself, I would never guess that there is tofu in it.  While I am known for my Weight Watchers recipes, this dessert is 9 Weight Watchers points.  However, it’s only 238 calories per serving, so I am enjoy this without any guilt. The base of this recipe is not mine.  Sarah’s Vegan Kitchen is...
