Crustless Pumpkin Pie

25 calories!

1 can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (40 cal/cup)
3 egg whites
2/3 cup granulated Splenda
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt

Optional:  Fat Free Reddi Whip, cranberry for garnish

Preheat oven to 400F
Mix all ingredients together and pour in baking dish of choice
I put mine in an 8x9 because that’s all I had, but this would probably be better/more filling in a smaller round or in individual ramekins

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and then reduce oven temp to 325 for another 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

OM NOM NOM NOM.

Zucchini citrus slaw (30 calories)

1. Using a peeler, slice the outside of a medium zucchini into ribbons. (don’t use seeds)
2. Add 1 tbsp Light Italian Dressing
3. Add lime juice generously (fresh squeezed)
4. Add 1 tsp rice vinegar

Fiesta Lime Rice PIlaf (330 calories - it was a huge serving, over 1 cup)
1. Cook 1 cup dry brown rice as per instructions on box adding 3 lime slices to boiling water.

Spicy Fiesta Lime Tilapia and Salad Shrimp (~165 cal) 
1.  Marinate a thawed tilapia filet and 1.5 oz of salad shrimp in a bag in 3 tbsp light italian dressing and a generous amount of lime juice from a fresh lime. Season marinade as you wish with salt, pepper, fiesta seasoning, and hot sauce.
2.  pour contents of bag into a pan - cook on medium. Be sure to cover the pan and to not let the pan get too hot. You want the marinade to steam the fish, essentially, so if you notice the marinade starting to burn reduce the heat. 
3.  Cook until fish is no longer translucent, but is still moist and flaky. 

Spicy Avocado, tomato, and green chile salsa: 
1.  Dice 1/4 of an avocado (or however much you want)
2.  Add  tomatoes and green chiles (however much you want)

No Bake Mini Lime Cheesecakes

These may be adapted in SO MANY WAYS!  

But Bryan loves Key lime and Lemon flavored Desserts (I made some awesome mini lemon cheesecakes traditional style too I’ll post that later). 

Serve these chilled so that they are firm, but still decadent and fluffy OR serve them frozen for a delicious ice-cream style treat! 

• 8 oz Cool Whip Free
• 8 oz Fat Free Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cup splenda
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Juice from 1/2 lime (and some lime zest)
• 1/2 small packet of lime Sugar Free Jello
• 1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 sheet graham crackers
• 1 small size sugar wafer ice cream cone

Prepare 12 muffin cups with the crust mixture by crumbling the graham crackers and ice cream cone together in a bag.  Divide among the muffin cups.

In a large bowl, whip cream cheese, vanilla extract and sugar for a few minutes until fluffy. Add Cool Whip, lime juice, jello mix, almond milk and whip until smooth. Spoon mixture into muffin cups and chill for a few hours, until firm or place in the freezer.

These come about to about 55 calories apiece! 

Sweet Jesus. 

I would modify this by using Better n’ Butter (100 cal for 2 tbsp)
