    Low-Calorie Cinnamon Silk Cake

    Are you craving something sweet and cinnamony? I’ve got the perfect high-fiber cake for you. Each thick slice comes in at just 49 calories, and the cinnamon flavor really shines through. You can even top it with a simple mix of 2 tablespoons Swerve confectioners plus a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of water to make a lovely…

    Low-Calorie Double Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Glaze

    I think this is the best low-calorie dessert I have ever made! It’s chocolate cake with chocolate chips and a creamy glaze. Sooo good! The melty chocolate chips make it taste similar to a chocolate lava cake. And it’s surprisingly filling too due to the high fiber content, so you won’t end up craving more. I’m going to call this…

    Low-Calorie Sardine Pasta Recipe

    I try really hard to cook seafood or shellfish at least twice a week for the health benefits (and because I love it!), but sometimes it’s hard coming up with something that will please even people who don’t love fish. Enter Sardine Pasta. I had been reading about how good for you sardines are, and it seemed like an excellent…

    Low-Calorie Rustic Shrimp Quiche with an Almond Flour Crust

    With Winter approaching I’ve been craving heavier fare, and this quiche is a complete, filling, healthy meal that won’t blow up your calorie budget. If you have leftover slices, run them through a vacuum sealer before putting them in the freezer. They won’t get freezer-burn and they’ll stay fresh for ages. Imagine how wonderful it would be to have quiche…

    Low-Calorie Roasted Smashed Broccoli Recipe

    Broccoli is such a basic, simple vegetable, but here’s a recipe that elevates it to a crispy, crunchy marvel! The flavors deepen and I think that even folks who don’t like broccoli may enjoy this side. The crisped parmesan crunches and combines with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make this a standout recipe. It does have a few…
