    Low-Calorie Pepperoni Pizza Recipe

    Every Friday I make pizza for the kids. They love it, and it’s one night I don’t have to prepare dinner. Win win. I used to order delivery, but that got to be really pricey, and frozen pizzas have come a long way since we were kids. The ones by Paul Newman are actually pretty tasty. Unfortunately, pizza, frozen or…

    Amazing Low-Calorie Ice Cream Bars

    Nick’s Swedish Style Ice Cream Swirl Bars are only 50 calories each and are surprisingly delicious, filling, and satisfying. They really taste as if they’re made with full-fat cream and sugar. The Strawbär flavor is just OK. It doesn’t have a decadent flavor like the other two, but at least it does taste like strawberries. The second best flavor is…

    Low-Calorie Berry & Spongecake Dessert

    I had a big dinner last week (a low-calorie cheeseburger!) and didn’t want a really filling dessert. This little low-calorie berry and spongecake recipe is sweet and delicious, but won’t put you over the edge if you’re already almost full. If you just want a little something sweet after dinner, this dessert is for you. I love this dessert for…

    Sometimes you want a burger, but it’s pouring out and you can’t grill, or you’re out of charcoal or gas, or you just plain don’t have the energy to do it. On those kinds of nights, I make cheeseburgers in my oven from frozen patties. Haters, back off! They come out great, and you have more time to spend with…

Welcome

I'm Violet, and you've found my healthy, low-calorie recipes.
I eat frequent low-calorie meals and snacks as well as a delicious low-calorie dessert every day.

I believe there are no "good" or "bad" foods: Food is not a moral choice. I eat all foods, some freely, and some in moderation.
