I love America's Test Kitchen's gluten free brownies. They are awesome, but over 200 calories a piece. Not to mention high in sugar. I don't want to delete brownies from my life completely. With the Cinnamon Roll Cake [add link] being a hit with the changes I made, that's not to say they won't work [...]

Low Carb Cinnamon Roll Cake
I came across a recipe for Cinnamon Roll Cake from Life, Love and Sugar while perusing recipe. I first thought about the last time I had a cinnamon roll, which was over 10 years ago. I'm not exaggerating, I've been gluten free at least that long. My next thought was how I can take this [...]
Lower Carb Oatmeal Cookies
I'm making oatmeal cookies this week, because I really want them. I haven't had an oatmeal cookie in a long time. I'm talking at least a few years. I love them. With or without raisins makes no difference. Why should I go without because I am lowering my sugar and carb intake? Time to get [...]
Sugar Free Chickpea Pound Cake
I really wanted to do a cake recipe this week. One thing I don't get to eat very often is cake. With the sugary and buttery base with a sugary and butter frosting, a decent piece can blow your calorie budget for the day. I decided I was going to try a low sugar version [...]
Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies
I couldn't resist doing peanut butter cookies this week. I love peanut butter cookies, but they are another thing I usually avoid because the calories can add up quick. What I normally do with desserts I make is to make each serving only be a low amount of calories and I only have one. That [...]
Vegan Sugar Free Cheesecake Bars
This week I wanted to make some cheesecake, but I didn't want to make a cheesecake in the traditional sense. I prefer making bars for my desserts because they are easily portioned. Also, I love cheesecake, however, that was something I haven't made in a long time because it is usually very calorie dense. That [...]
Low Sugar Peanut Butter Bars
I'm doing another dessert this week. I know it's not the holidays any more, but my doing a dessert, I am being strategic. Since I am at home, I am not using as many of my frozen leftovers. Tony wants to stay on lentils and rice for a while to lower his calorie intake. So [...]
Gluten Free and Low Sugar “Thin Mint” Cookies
You have probably noticed that I have been posting some desserts. I realized I had some good ones and figured you may want something that was not so bad for your diet. This recipe for "Thin Mint" cookies is a gluten free copycat recipe from Kroger. I made these last year and they turned out [...]
Sugar Free, Low Carb Applesauce Pie Bars
This recipe came to me when I realized I had a huge container of unsweetened applesauce and nothing to do with it. Plus, I really wanted apple pie, but I didn't want to spend the ridiculous amount of calories on that. I am also lowering my carb intake. I found that the weight gain I [...]
