Finally got out this morning for a 7 mile run with my running partner. It felt so good to be outside running. I have not ran outside for awhile now and the most I have been able to do on a treadmill is 3 miles. It is suppose to get in the 60's here today. YAHOO!

A few days ago a co-worker had a birthday, I always like to make something to celebrate their birthdays. I love chocolate, but really wanted to take something on the lighter side. I looked threw my recipes and found this Angel Dessert recipe. I had gotten it at a Weight Watcher meeting. Boy it is so good and light.
I thought I would share this recipe. If you are looking for dessert that's light and yummy this is it.You only need 4 ingredients:
 |
| Angel food cake in pieces |
1- Large (8oz) pkg sugar free Jello any flavor.
1- (8oz) carton sugar free yogurt any flavor.
1- 10 inch angel food cake tear into small cubes or chunks
Dissolve jello in 2 cups boiling water,than add 1- cup cold water to jello and chill until it becomes the consistency of a egg white.
Beat jello with mixer- until frothy Fold yogurt into jello, than fold jello mixture into the angel food cake pieces.
I like to put fat free whip topping on top, but you don't have to.
Pour into a 9x13 cake pan an refrigerate

Did you get a run in today?
Do you have a recipe that is light, that you make in the summer?
that dessert looks delicious! I like to make a dessert in the summer that's a layer of crushed oreos, a layer of fat free cream cheese and powdered sugar, a layer of vanilla pudding, and a layer of cool whip. I'm not sure how light it is in calories, but it tastes light and fluffy!
ReplyDeleteI ran this morning before work (managed to get up at 545) and got 7 miles, but it was pouring rain so I hit up the treadmill.
I got outside today with my little one who is not so little anymore because it was damn hard to push her in the stroller!

main meals
POINTS® Value: 4
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 9 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil and smoky mozzarella have natural affinities—add balsamic-infused pasta and you've got a wonderful meal.
Ingredients
8 oz uncooked fusilli, or other spiral pasta
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, or more to taste
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 cup cherry tomato(es), or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup basil, fresh, chopped
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, smoked, diced
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add vinegar, oil and oregano; toss to coat.
Fold in tomatoes, basil and mozzarella; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
Notes
For an interesting flavor boost, add sun-dried tomatoes to this recipe. Place 1/4 cup of dried sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and cover them with boiling water; set aside for 10 minutes to allow the tomatoes to plump up. Drain well and substitute them for half the cherry tomatoes in the recipe.
