Strawberry Smoosh is my husband's FAVORITE ZReduction dessert. How could I have been so lax? I'm almost ashamed! Here's the recipe for all to enjoy!

For those of you old enough to remember the Jello product that formed 3 layers you’ll know exactly what this tastes like and actually includes REAL raspberries!

My husband’s favorite dessert flavor is lemon. These hit his tart meter for sure! They taste divine and have no sugar and no gluten. Your friends and family won’t need to know these aren’t “bad” for you!

These are delightfully decadent treats. A word of CAUTION: Treat them like candy!

These sweet and spicy nuts are perfect for snacking, make a great salad topper or adding a special something to your favorite desserts.

To make this dish “patriotic’ all you need to do is add blueberries and you have a red and blue dessert. You don’t need to feel left out of the holiday celebration just because you’re on a diet. Yours will be just as colorful and tasty as anything else being served.

When I made it the other night one dinner guest declared it “Birthday Cake Good.” Which means...who needs birthday cake when you can eat this kind of Big YUM stuff!

We have to thank Dieter Claire for inventing this recipe. She modified the fruit parfait recipe and developed a strawberry "ice cream" recipe and this recipe with frozen mandarin oranges. She says, “it’s like an orange creamsicle.” YUM!

Dieter Claire invented this recipe by modifying the fruit parfait recipe and adding extra frozen strawberries. She says, "it's as close to ice cream as you can get." We agree.

A simple, tasty seasonal desert.

A no sugar variation of my caramelized pears recipe. Still very yummy!

Chris’s cousins sent us a HUGE box of fruit as his get well wish. There are only two of us, so in order to use the fruit I have had to get creative! Oh, my, these are yummy!

I found a recipe online for keto lemon bars. I "Zolafied them" and made them for a party. Wow.

Lemon curd is the perfect spring and summer dessert ingredient. You can serve this very simply by dipping cookies in it or use it like icing dividing layers of a cake. I like to make a tart or even mini-tarts. 

I am a huge fan of English shortbread. When I traveled a lot in England on business, the hotel usually left a package or two by the coffee maker. I used to make that my little breakfast while I worked at the desk.

A delicious sauce to pair with your favorite dessert.

I found a classic Southern Living recipe and took out all the sugar. These are amazing – even if I do say so myself!

If you don’t use liquor in your cooking you can leave that out. You can also flavor them with stevia flavorings. You could have coconut, vanilla or other flavors.

Everyone loves pumpkin, right? Well, how about a tea bread that’s made with pumpkin? Sort of like banana bread. Or even make it with sweet potato puree.

One piece of advice on this recipe, eat it fast. That means invite some folks over and try to polish this off in one seating.
